Praise Thursday

Content, hospitable and humble

Today we shared some Praise Thursday inspiration on the topics of contentment, hospitality and humility.

Brogan shared this one called Less is More: 

Sometimes in life we can get caught up in the consumer culture and want more than we have or need. We want the newest thing all the time because of the social stature that comes with it or to impress those in our life. This lifestyle, however, is a bottomless hole and an appetite that can never be fulfilled. If we give into these habits and wants and desires, we can stray into a lifestyle that can never be fulfilled.

So, what does the Bible have to say about this? Check out Proverbs 14:30, that simply says, “A heart at peace gives life to the body, but envy rots the bones.” Being at peace with what we have in our life, is key to having harmony and peace in our life. Accepting that The Lord has given us all we need and that our desires will never fulfill us is a Biblical principle that can offer a lifestyle that God has promised will give us peace.  

Joe shared a devotional from Our Daily Bread called “God’s Embassy,” very close to what some of you have been doing this week in helping others in crisis. Read it by clicking here.

Healing after loss…

How Do We Heal? 

Its no secret and there’s no shame in admitting it has been a very tough past two weeks. Really, a past couple years. Amidst all that Is happening in the world, we still have the weight of our personally lives, as well as our spiritual lives and mental well beings. So with all that we bear, how do we manage? The answer is often times a tough pill to swallow, as we think we can do it all on our own or change on our own, and the answer is trust in Jesus, and trusting in the changing of hearts and minds.

2 Corinthians 5:14 says “ For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.” Christ died for everyone. He died for all sins. The trade off, is he need to be stewards of Christ’s love and show compassion, love and dignity to all, regardless of their faith or life. Love is what will heal the hearts and minds of humans, and Christ showed us how in the Gospels. We can change this world, one heart at a time. 

Make it NOT so.

Thanks for listening! Please keep those prayers lifted for our friends in Uvalde.

Don’t go it alone.

Brogan’s devotional today is inspired by Proverbs…

In life we often times we think we have everything planned out. Whether it’s a day, a week, a year or in our life. We think we have a plan and path carved out to get from one goal to another. However, we usually are forgetting one crucial element, and this leads to unwanted change or an unfulfillment in plans. The part we are forgetting is God’s plan for us. Proverbs 3:6 says this, “In all your ways submit to him, and he will make your paths straight”. God’s plan is bigger and grander than our will ever be, and when we submit our desires and wants to him, he will set us on the correct course for our life, cruising toward fulfillment and happiness.

The 2022 National Day of Prayer!

Today is the National Day and Prayer! Let’s join together in praying for our country and world.

This year’s theme is Exalt the Lord Who Has Established Us, based in Colossians 2:6-7.

“Therefore, as you have received Christ, so walk in Him, having been firmly rooted and now being built up and established in your faith, just as you were instructed, and overflowing with gratitude.”

Paul encouraged the Colossian believers to hold on to their devotion to Jesus. When they received Jesus, he became the foundation of their faith…just as roots are to a tree and concrete is to a house. That union with Jesus was to continue to be the basis of their spiritual lives, even though some individuals tried to twist the gospel message.

We also need to be careful that we don’t abandon Jesus for something or someone else. The competition for our attention today is fierce. Opposing philosophies and a corrupt culture constantly try to lure us away from our Savior. Here, Paul calls his readers to sharpen their focus on Jesus; who gives us fullness, and provides us with everything we need.
