Different Stories, Different Members of the Body

For today’s Praise Thursday, Mike shared Galatians 1:23-24, which emphasized the miraculous change in Paul’s life– “He who used to persecute us is now preaching the faith he once tried to destroy.” Through this miracle worked in him, God was glorified. Mike explained how the goal of our lives should be to glorify Him through our own stories.

Abby talked about the passage that MVNU’s new VP of Spiritual life, Rev. Dave Mills, shared in Monday’s chapel service. 1 Corinthians 12:17-20 asks, “If all were a single member, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body.” Everyone has a special place and purpose within God’s community, and we all work together to make the entire body function!

MVNU WBB Updates And One Of The Founding Fathers!

Hi!

Today on the show we talked about a little bit of everything. I gave updates on how the Lady Cougar Basketball Team. I also talked about how today is Customer Service Day. I know it’s not everyone’s favorite thing to deal with, but there are several benefits to Customer Service.

Some of the benefits of customer service is that you can speak to someone to try to help you with a certain problem that you might be having. They can also assist you with looking specific things up on the internet.

You’ve Already Won!

Monday Motivation today comes from Shane and Shane and their song, “You’ve Already Won.”

Jesus is ultimately victorious, not just over death, but the future – he will bring us into his eternal kingdom and judge the wicked. Because of this, we have an internal peace. Though we may have present struggles, we know that God loves us and he has saved us! Let’s continue the good fight – understanding that connection and obedience with God are imperatives.

Name a place where you are told to use your inside voice.
