THERE IS NO MORE OF A PEACEFUL SIGHT

• Than to be on the beach

• And see the silhouette of a ship

• As it appears on the horizon

BUT THE PEACE IS SHATTERED

• When you see the flag it waves

• It has a skull and crossbones on it

• It is a pirate ship – come to steal what you have

AND WE WILL ALWAYS FIND PIRATES

• Wherever there are treasuresT

• he more the treasures are worth

• The deadlier the pirates are

PAUL WARNED THE CHURCH OF COLOSSE

• About spiritual pirates who come in to steal

• The treasures of Godly souls

• And hold them captive

EPHESIANS 1:3 tells us – 

‘Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord, Jesus Christ - who has blessed us in the heavenly realm with every spiritual blessing in Christ.’

WE HAVE EVERY TREASURE IN HEAVEN

• But we are under attack

• By those with false teachings

• Who want to steal our Godly souls

OUR VERY SPIRITUAL LIVES DEPEND ON

• Our knowing Jesus Christ personally

• Depending on Him to save our souls

• And thru Him – we are kept safe

DURING THIS TIME OF REMEMBRANCE

• Let us remember that ….

• To those who are focused on Jesus

This bread IS SWEETER THAN HONEY

• And this drink more satisfying

• Than the most costly wine

FOR THE BREAD TELLS US OF

• The body Jesus sacrificed for us

• The drink of the blood He shed

LET US REMEMBER HIM

• With focus and in love
