Put Our Dreams On The Altar! And He said, Take now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get
thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt offering upon one
of the mountains which I will tell thee of. [Genesis 22:2]
e know the story of Abraham following God’s direction in Take
now thy son, thine only son Isaac, whom thou lovest, and get
thee into the land of Moriah; and offer him there for a burnt
offering upon one of the mountains which I will tell thee of
(Genesis 22:2).
God had promised Abraham a son for many years and finally when he
was one hundred years old, Abraham and Sarah had Isaac. Then in this
verse, God tells Abraham to sacrifice the boy. We know how the story
goes, Abraham obeyed God, and then God stopped him at the last minute.
There are many messages we can get from this story about obedience and
trust, but I think one additional message for us is that in our hearts and
minds, we need to take that thing that is important to us and be prepared
to put it on the altar.
If we really trust God we need to take our dreams and say “God this is
what I really want, but I am giving it to you. Whatever Your will is, I can
accept it.” I believe that God puts our hopes and dreams in our hearts, and
He will help us achieve them, but He wants us to keep our priorities in
order.
Dear LORD, we submit our desires to you. If it is Your will, help us achieve and realize our hopes and dreams, and if You have other plans, we thank you for that as
well. In Jesus’ name we pray. AMEN.

LUKE 11:9-13
MINISTER: And I say unto you, Ask, and it shall
be given you; seek, and ye shall find;
knock, and it shall be opened unto
you.
CONGREGATION: For every one that asketh receiveth;
and he that seeketh findeth; and to
him that knocketh it shall be opened.
MINISTER: If a son shall ask bread of any of you
that is a father, will he give him a
stone? or if he ask a fish, will he for a
fish give him a serpent?
CONGREGATION: Or if he shall ask an egg, will he offer
him a scorpion?
ALL: If ye then, being evil, know how to
give good gifts unto your children:
how much more shall your heavenly
Father give the Holy Spirit to them
that ask Him?

been to or on our way to weddings, family reunions,
and other special events where food will be served.
Many times we will hear the expression do they have any soul
food ? And Jesus answered him, saying, It is written, That
man shall not live by bread alone, but by every word of God
(Luke 4:4).
Just as our physical bodies need daily food and nourishment
to stay strong, so does our spiritual body need daily
nourishment from God’s Word. Blessed are they which do
hunger and thirst after righteousness: for they shall be filled
(Matthew 5:6).
In this fast-paced society in which we live, it’s very easy to
get so busy that we forget breakfast, lunch, etc. but hunger will
compel us to eat…so it is with our SOUL! Those who are
hungry for God will take time out to read, listen, or
absorb/consume God’s Word every day, in other
words…partake of the REAL soul food. So read your Bible
and pray daily, fill up on the Real Soul Food to stay strong in
the LORD.
Please remember God loves you and do too!

This Week in Black History
The Coloured Hockey League…
The sport of hockey has roots that date back to ancient Egypt and Greece, with varying incarnations throughout the generations. Ice hockey developed in the north due to the wintry conditions there, and in 1895, an all-Black league was started in Nova Scotia, Canada.
The Coloured Hockey League featured as many as a dozen teams and 400 players who hailed from Canada’s Maritime Provinces. In the League, players from Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, and Prince Edward Island competed against one another. Africville, a Black settlement for escaped and freed slaves in Halifax, was home to one of the league’s more popular teams, the Africville Seasides. The Seasides won back-to-back championships in 1901 and 1902.
Historians and sports writer brothers George and Darrill Fosty released the book Black Ice: The Lost History of the Colored Hockey League of the Maritimes, 1895-1925, which focuses on the rise and ending of the League.
In the book, the Fosty brothers assert that Halifax Eureka player Eddie Martin was the inventor of the slapshot, the most difficult shot in hockey. While Darrill Fosty says that fact cannot be simply proven, the League was the first to allow hockey players to lift their sticks beyond their waist, thus helping the innovative shot to evolve. The League also pioneered the practice of a goalie leaving his feet to block a hockey puck.
Despite racism and financial hardships, the League lasted quite a while until officially ending operations in 1930. But despite the League’s contribution to the game, little in the way of records or monuments exist in honor of Black Canadian hockey players.
The hockey documentary, Black Ice, was also produced and directed by George and Darril Fosty. It won the best short film documentary award at the 10th Annual Roxbury Film Festival in Boston, Massachusetts.
