Praise Thursday

Trust in God, He is in Control!

Today we listened to some great worship music! From Delirious to CeCe Winans, we had a wide variety of blasts from the pasts and new goodies all afternoon! We also shared some devotions, which certainly helped brighten up this cloudy, wet day!

On “Our Daily Bread Ministries”, we found a really inspiring story about a husband and wife, Tom and Nancy. While they were hiking in Maine one day, Tom fainted three times. Every doctor they visited said there was nothing they could find that was wrong. When Nancy asked the doctor what to do next, what they told her changed Nancy’s outlook on the situation. “Go live your life” is what they told her. What Nancy realized is that she doesn’t have to worry about what’s going to happen with her husband, because the One who knows all and has everything in control already has a plan. God spoke through that doctor that day, and we see here that God can speak through anyone and anything, in any situation!

If you want to read the full story and devotional, click here.

We also shared about trusting God in the trials. We know trials are going to come, the Bible makes that clear. But what the enemy means for evil, God means for good, and He’s shown time and time again that He will remain faithful and use whatever we go through to bring people to Him, and build His Kingdom! Whether, you’re angry, sad, or struggling with sin, God wants you to come to Him however you are, and leave changed! He wants you to trust in Him. He has good, specific plans for each and every one of us!

Today we played Name That Tune! We played a 15 second clip of a song, and if you can tell us the title of the song we play, and the artist, you can win that $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica!

Today was a stumper! So make sure you tune in next week to hear the song clip, and try to guess the song title and artist who sings the song!

Thank you 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,
Joe

The Beauty of Confession

Today, Dylan shared a devotional about confessing from James Banks, called ‘Convicted and Freed.’ You can read it by clicking here. It’s inspired by Psalm 32.

1 Blessed is the one
    whose transgressions are forgiven,
    whose sins are covered.
2 Blessed is the one
    whose sin the Lord does not count against them
    and in whose spirit is no deceit.

3 When I kept silent,
    my bones wasted away
    through my groaning all day long.
4 For day and night
    your hand was heavy on me;
my strength was sapped
    as in the heat of summer.[b]

5 Then I acknowledged my sin to you
    and did not cover up my iniquity.
I said, “I will confess
    my transgressions to the Lord.”
And you forgave
    the guilt of my sin.

6 Therefore let all the faithful pray to you
    while you may be found;
surely the rising of the mighty waters
    will not reach them.
7 You are my hiding place;
    you will protect me from trouble
    and surround me with songs of deliverance.

We had a stumper! Some hints for next week:
– the name of the band is the lead singer’s last name
– the song title has two words and was released in 2007
– the album name is ‘Burn for You’

Thanks for listening!
