TODAY'S WORD

The first thing Andrew did after meeting Jesus was to tell his brother the good news. Were you as excited as Andrew to tell others when you first came to know Jesus? How about now? Sometimes, we lose that excitement over time. But with every answered prayer, every new beginning, God gives us an opportunity to reclaim- and proclaim- our excitement all over again.

PRAYER

God, it is a joy to know You. When I look back on our first meeting, I remember how I was amazed and overwhelmed by You. Thank You for continuing to show up in my life. Please use these moments to give me fresh eyes so that I may continue to be amazed by You, and continue to share You with others. In Jesus’ name, amen.

TODAY'S WORD

God is all-powerful, all-present, and all-knowing. We feel safe in His arms and are amazed by the beauty of nature. He tells the sun when to rise and when to set. He tells the seasons when it’s time to change and controls weathers patterns across the world. We stare in awe at the twinkling stars He placed in the evening sky. We are thankful for the bountiful earth He commissioned us to nurture and remain humbled by His power to create it. We will genuinely respect and admire His beautiful world.

PRAYER

Dear Lord, we are thankful for the beauty of the world You have gifted us, and we will make it a priority to nurture and respect Your creation. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

TODAY'S WORD

Trials of life are numerous, and we must look upon them with joy. It’s challenging to remain joyful during burdensome seasons, but our hardships improve our walk with the Lord. When we experience loss, we become more appreciative of what we once had and see the blessings abounding in our lives. We benefit from hurting because it gives us the ability to empathize with those who experience the same struggle. Most importantly, trials allow us to place our trust in the Lord.

PRAYER

Dear God, we find it challenging to remain joyful in difficult seasons. We trust You because You only want good for us. Our faith will strengthen when we walk through storms together. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

TODAY'S WORD

Paul loves the Philippians and praises them for their obedience in his absence. Even though they have been saved by accepting Christ as their Lord and Savior, Paul directs them to continue living in the way God has established. Obeying God demonstrates our loyalty and faith in His instruction to stay away from sin. We accept Christ as our Lord and Savior and continue to live as an example of our salvation.

PRAYER

Dear God, we are loyal and have chosen to trust and obey Your Word. Please guide us as we strive to strengthen our faith and live as an example to others. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

1 John - 4.1: Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.

TODAY'S WORD

People of the early church were devoted to the apostle’s teachings and fellowship. Fellowship encourages unity and growth along with spiritual friendships. These friendships are treasures when we feel alone or need encouragement and guidance while carrying a heavy burden. We enjoy being unified with our church family and are thankful for the opportunity to praise the Lord together.

PRAYER

Dear Lord, we are grateful for our church family and the precious friends You’ve gifted us for good works and fellowship. We will continue to establish and maintain these treasured relationships. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.

TODAY'S WORD

There are a variety of ways our bodies can be destroyed both physically and spiritually. We can be physically abusive by fighting or intentionally disregarding safety protocols. We speak hurtful words, gossip or lead others into sin, be it intentional or not. We know to treat our own body as a temple, and we must be sure to treat those around us the same. We will protect one another in all physical settings and build each other up spiritually.

PRAYER

Dear God, we value both the physical and spiritual bodies You have so delicately created. We will protect one another and work harder to build each other up spiritually. In Jesus’ name, Amen.

TODAY'S WORD

Our lives feel dark and void during seasons of sadness. We often struggle with emotions of fear or loneliness when dilemmas become overwhelming. It’s comforting to know God’s presence is consistent. His Spirit moves through our hearts, allowing us to regain hope in moments of hopelessness and light in seasons of darkness. Our Father’s love has been in existence since the very beginning and will follow with us to the end of time.

PRAYER

Dear God, thank you for continually moving within our lives to create awareness of your presence when we are troubled. You are a light in the darkness and our hope amid a broken world. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
