National Good Samaritan Day and Who Am I? Trivia.

Hi,

Today on the show I talked about how today is National Good Samaritan Day! I also talked about how Lifeline 2024 is quickly approaching. I also talked about how you can join our Lifeline 2024 prayer team. If you click on this link HERE it will take you right to the page where you can sign up for our Lifeline 2024 prayer team.

Who is your Good Samaritan? This is a question that all of us should be asked daily.

For me, my Good Samaritan is my family because they are always there for me no matter what. They stick by me when I mess up. They cheer me on when I succeed. Without them, I wouldn’t be who I am today!

Here is where you can find more information on how today is National Good Samaritan Day. Click HERE.

Believe For it!

Today we featured CeCe Winans and her amazing, ‘Believe for It,’ as our Monday Motivation song.

Matthew 19 is a Q&A with Jesus and the disciples, where we are reminded that with God, nothing is beyond his domain!

23 Then Jesus said to his disciples, “Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven. 24 Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of God.”

25 When the disciples heard this, they were greatly astonished and asked, “Who then can be saved?”

26 Jesus looked at them and said, “With man this is impossible, but with God all things are possible.”

From the impossible
We’ll see a miracle
God, we believe for it!

Enjoy these videos from CeCe!

Born for These Days

For today’s Praise Thursday, Joe shared a devotional centering around Jeremy Camp’s new song– These Days. God has you where you are, when you are, for a purpose. Check out the video below to hear Jeremy himself talk about the meaning behind the track!

We read the Our Daily Bread devotional for today, which paints a picture of God as a “fortified tower” and a place of refuge for us. Read it here!

Abby also shared Psalm 119:41-42—“Let your steadfast love come to me, O Lord, your salvation according to your promise; then shall I have an answer for him who taunts me, for I trust in your word.” We are guaranteed to face opposition and even taunting in this world because of what we believe. Jesus had his critics, and we should prepare to face our own! We can do this by trusting our beliefs and handling those who oppose us with grace and love.

Rhonda from Mount Vernon wins two passes to the concert!

Thanks for listening!

Lauren goes overseas; Chris embraces Irish!

Lauren Daigle announced yesterday that she will take her ‘Kaleidoscope Tour,’ abroad. This is Daigle’s first time playing in Europe since selling out a string of headline dates in 2019. She will headline performances at Gullbranna Festival in Sweden and Seaside Festival in Norway before the tour formally kicks off July 9 in Brussels and makes stops in Paris and Amsterdam before two shows in the UK – one in London and the other in Manchester, ending on July 15.

Lauren also announced new US dates, too. Find the full story from JesusFreakHideout.com and PFA Media by clicking here!

So what does an Irishman working and touring in the United States do to celebrate the start of March? Or what they call “St. Patrick’s Month?” Ask Chris Llewellyn of Rend Collective – he tried the Shamrock Shake, ordering with what he calls a ‘fake Irish accent’, and then described as, “light mint and heavy sugar.” He and the Rend team also toured a Target to look for green swag. You can follow Rend Collective and/or Chris on Instagram to see the full video. @rendcollective

No matter what you’ve done
You can’t erase His love
Nothing can change it
You’re not separated…

Congratulations to Betsy from Mount Vernon – she correctly guessed ‘No Matter What’ by Ryan Stevenson and wins the $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica.

The King of My Heart

One of things I’ve really focused on this semester at MVNU in my work and my personal life is returning to something I read about years ago, asking us an important question: Who (or what) is on the throne of your heart?

A couple of verses that stand out:

Matthew 6:21: For where your treasure is, there your heart will be also.

I Peter 3:20: But in your hearts, revere Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give an answer to everyone who asks you to give the reason for the hope that you have.

Revelation 3:20: Here I am! I stand at the door and knock. If anyone hears my voice and opens the door, I will come in and eat with that person, and they with me.

Whoever sits on the throne of your heart is who you worship and serve; and if we aren’t careful, depending on who we serve (who or what we make an idol) can influence our thoughts with toxicity and lies. Scripture tells us where our treasure is, that is also where our heart is. What do you hold near and dear to you? Who do we depend on? That is what you have made the king of your heart. Who you’ve put on the throne. This song is a declaration to recommit to having Christ be the King of your Heart!

“I See Grace” by Micah Tyler – congratulations to Jan from Apple Valley, who wins the $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica.

Thanks for listening!
– Joe
