He’s An Abundant God

Today we looked at two incredible devotions from Our Daily Bread! Our first devotional pulls from Matthew 18, and reminds us that we are to forgive others no matter how many times they may wrong us. If they ask forgiveness with pure intention and remorse, you are to forgive them, just as God has done so many times for you. Forgiveness, to infinity and beyond! Read the full devotional here.

Our second devotional reminds us that God has given us far more than we need. He has given us an abundance in His creation. From the many trees that bear fruit, to the stars in the sky, it’s evident our God is a creative, loving, and abundant God. But creation is not all that feels his abundance, Paul assures us in 1 Timothy that God’s grace is far more than enough, and offered knowing that we need it every day. Read the full devotional here.

We also played Name That Tune! We played a 15 second clip to see if you could tell us the artist and title of the song and win two $5 gift cards to Watts Restaurant in Utica! Unfortunately, our clip was a stumper for the second week! We’ll have a new clip for next week!

Thanks for listening!

The praise that comes from freedom

We start today with a simple praise – God, thank you for allowing me the opportunity to live in a nation where I can cast my vote and where I have a choice! We are blessed!

Then a prayer – Lord, help me to view this week from YOUR perspective. You’re on the throne, and your word still commands us to show proper respect to everyone, to love the family of believers, to fear you, and honor our leaders. Help me to rise above how someone voted, and love them because they are my brother or sister in Christ. To love them like you love us.

Here’s a song we played today that I absolutely love – and is PERFECT for this week! ‘Made Me Glad’ from Darlene Zschech and Hillsong.

This week, Bonnie from Mount Vernon guessed our stumper – ‘Heart of God’ from Zach Williams – she wins two $5 gift cards to Watts Restaurant in Utica.

Today’s winner was Linda from Fredericktown!

Thanks for listening,

Color for a Cause this weekend!

Today we heard Alyssa’s conversation with Julia Rine, advisor for the Teen Advisory Council, part of New Directions of Knox County. Saturday is the Color for a Cause race at Ariel-Foundation Park. Hear more about it by linking to our Soundcloud page here!

We’re also sharing this year’s theme verse at MVNU: I Thessalonians 5:24

“The one who calls you is faithful, and he will do it.”

This reminds us that our God is a God who calls, a faithful God, and a God of action!

In the valley of the shadow

Yesterday was one of the toughest days of my life. After 16 years, our family said goodbye to our precious dog, our teacup Yorkshire Terrier, Belle. I literally held on to the 23rd Psalm, because I walked through the valley of the shadow of death with Belle in her last moments. I was thankful to be there, but even in my deep sorrow and sadness, I knew the Holy Spirit was there, comforting our family.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.

2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.

3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.

4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.

6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

today’s song – Matt Redman’s ‘You Never Let Go’ (see video above) – congratulations to Betsy from Mount Vernon who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica.

Congratulations to Linda from Utica! Keep listening for more chances to win tickets for the Monday, July 29th concert.

Thanks for listening!
