He loves “people like us…”

Today’s Monday Motivation song comes from Micah Tyler and Emerson Day, “People Like Us.”

In Matthew 11:28-30, Jesus says, ““Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. 29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. 30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”

So if you’re on the mountain top, in the valley, somewhere in-between, weary or burdened, joyful or energized, remember – God loves people like us!

Name hot things:

1- Fire (26 votes)
2- Coffee (24)
3- Tea (21)
4- a stove (16)
5- a fireplace (13)

We call out to dry bones…

Ezekiel 37 shares the story of the power of God resurrecting dry bones. Literally bringing dry bones to life. Lauren Daigle and Michael Farren used this inspiration to write a song to encourage believers. The song is ‘Come Alive.’

A new season…focused on the cross!

Today is the start of the fall semester at MVNU and I’m starting my 20th year of teaching communication and media. Today our President, Dr. Carson Castleman, shared a message about the power of the cross and how the life and sacrifice of Jesus encourages the surrender of:

  • Our worries. The act of surrender allows us to put our trust in Him. 
  • Our control. We can’t manage every aspect of life. Let go of this illusion. Trust His ways!
  • Our past! Christ is ready to give us a fresh start! Our shared need for forgiveness binds us together.

Psalm 55:22 says,

“Cast your cares on the Lord
    and he will sustain you;
he will never let
    the righteous be shaken.”

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!

Our song was ‘Word of God Speak,’ by Mercy Me. Congratulations to Janelle from Howard, who guessed correctly and wins the $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant in Utica.

Thanks for listening!
