Praise God for the Rain!

For today’s Praise Thursday, we shared Acts 14:17, which says, “Yet he did not leave himself without witness, for he did good by giving you rains from heaven and fruitful seasons, satisfying your hearts with food and gladness.” Rather than seeing the weather as dull or dreary, let’s remember that it bears witness to God’s glory. He blesses us with fruitfulness and growth with the rainfall!

We also read through the Our Daily Bread for today, which you can check out here. This devotional references Esther’s story with the key verse Esther 4:14— “And who knows whether you have not come to the kingdom for such a time as this?” Even while we are navigating strange and confusing times in our lives, God has a larger plan and will work through those moments.

Shout out to Annabelle from Mount Vernon for correctly guessing… Love Me Like I Am — for KING & COUNTRY. She wins a $5 gift card to Watt’s Restaurant!

Thanks for listening!

National Peanut Butter Day and Russ Lee from Newsong!

Hi,

Today on the show I talked about how today is National Peanut Butter Day. I also had an interview with Russ Lee from Newsong who is a part of the Winter Jam 2024 lineup. We also had our weekly Who am I? trivia question where one person has a chance to win a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant.

Did you know out of 1,000 people surveyed that 72% which is nearly three-quarters of the people surveyed, like smooth peanut butter over chunky peanut butter? I had no idea. Also, 35% of men are far more likely to pick chunky peanut butter; as opposed to women who only choose it 28% of the time. I just thought both of these things were interesting.

If you would like to learn more about National Peanut Butter Day, visit this website: https://nationaltoday.com/national-peanut-butter-day/

Here is the link to the interview from Russ Lee from Newsong:

  • I was born on January 24th, 1733, in Hingham, Province of Massachusetts Bay.
  • I was the sixth child born in the family.
  • I got married to Mary Cushing and we had 11 children.
  • In 1776, I got promoted to the head of the Massachusetts militia.
  • I oversaw three major surrenders throughout my lifetime including the Battle at Saratoga, The Battle of Charleston, and the Battle of Yorktown.
  • I died on May 9th, 1810, at the age of 77.

….I am Benjamin Lincoln

Congratulations to Lisa of Mount Vernon for guessing the correct answer! She wins a $5 gift card to Watts Restaurant.

Thanks for listening!

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!

Congratulations to Maude from Mount Vernon for calling in with the right answer– Getting Started by Jeremy Camp! She wins a $5 gift card to Watt’s Restaurant.

Which artist suffered from scoliosis before undergoing surgery in their teen years? The answer is Katy Nichole! Shout out to Asher for knowing our Winter Jam trivia question and winning two passes to the concert.

Thanks for listening!
