 The Righteousness of the Kingdom
Sunday, April 25
The Scribes and Pharisees were profoundly interested in righteousness. The Scribes were professional students of
religion. They gave their full time to the study of the Scriptures and their main objective was the definition
of righteousness. How does one live right before a holy God? The Pharisees accepted the teachings of the Scribes
and put them into practice. They aimed to achieve a life of righteousness, right living.
Yet in Matthew 5:20, For I say to you, that unless
your righteousness exceeds the righteousness of the scribes and Pharisees, you will by no means enter the kingdom
of heaven. Jesus,
Matthew 5:20
So how can a person exceed their righteousness?....

Mary, the Mother of Jesus
Sunday Message, May 9
Mary of Nazareth was young, today’s teenager.
Her life changed radically with an angel visitation from an all-powerful Sovereign God who declared her “highly
favored” and chose her to be the mother of Jesus, His only and unique Son. Elizabeth, Mary's cousin, called her
blessed for believing. So what was she like according to Scripture? We'll look at the Word of God to see what we
can discover about the woman chosen to birth Christ, the Anointed One, the One who is King of kings and Lord of
lords.
And to all those "mothering" out there, be it to family, animals, or even friends or neighbors, Happy
Mother's Day from Mary Craig Ministries.

COVID-19 has not stopped the work of the LORD, but it did hamper efforts in 2020 due to many restrictions on what
we could do, where and when. Nevertheless, the Living God is never restricted as to fulfilling His purposes and
plans; so we leave the "how" to Him.
