For today’s Praise Thursday, Mike shared Hebrews 11:6— “And without faith it is impossible to please him, for whoever would draw near to God must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who seek him.” This verse really ties in with this year’s Lifeline theme, “I Believe It.” Our belief is what enables us to draw near to God, and it should be foundational to the way we live our lives. If we fully believe in His existence and seek Him, the reward is great!

We shared the Our Daily Bread devotional for today, which is about “Helping as God Helps Us.” Read it here!

On the theme of helping others, Abby talked about 1 Thessalonians 5:14— “And we urge you, brothers, admonish, the idle, encourage the fainthearted, help the weak, be patient with them all.” This verse not only encourages us to reach out to those around us, but to consider how everyone is unique in what kind of help they need. Let us be intentional in how we treat people, and keep in mind that they are uniquely created!

Thanks for listening!
