Philippians 4:6-7 (The Message) "Don't fret or worry, instead of worrying, pray. Let petitions and praises shape your worries into prayers, letting God know your concerns. Before you know it, a sense of God's wholeness, everything coming together for good, will come and settle you down. It's wonderful what happens when Christ displaces worry at the center of your life."  Prayer: Heavenly Father, today I surrender my worries and every care I have to You. I am going to turn my

John 14:27 (New Living Translation) "I am leaving you with a gift--peace of mind and heart. And the peace I give is a gift the world cannot give, so don't be troubled or afraid." Let us pray together in unity of heart... Father, today I acknowledge Your presence and embrace Your gift of peace. Help me to recognize the ways I try to find peace outside of You, as I know what the world offers me will never be enough. There is no substitute for the lasting peace I can find only i

Beginning today and every Monday through Friday until Christmas Eve we will be sharing together a portion of Scripture and a unity prayer. The goal is for every one of us during this Advent season to reflect more deeply on Scripture and to share a prayer together with one heart. Day 1 Scripture: John 3:30--"He must become greater and greater, and I must become less and less." Prayer:  Heavenly Father, as I prioritize prayer over these next days during this Advent season, I do

Isaiah 55:1-12; 1 John 5:1-5 The question for today is, “How thirsty are you?”   I remember quite a few years ago I went on a mission trip to Oaxaca, Mexico. Even though the mission base was right beside the ocean, the air caused me to be thirsty all the time. When we went on this trip, we were reminded to keep drinking water because your body needed it whether you realized it at the time or not. But we were also warned to not drink the water from any other place than the lit

Scripture Reading: 1 Corinthians 13: 1-13 Scripture Reading: 1 John 4:13-21    These past weeks we have talked about love, love, and more love in regard to the love of God and the love we are to have toward one another. Today is no different as we continue in 1 John.   God’s love in His people gives us an assurance of His presence, confidence as we await the Day of Judgment, and the power to reflect His character.   Our actions are often determined by our identity—who we are

Are you ready to make time in your day to show your gratitude to the One who makes your day possible?? This is a challenge to the entire congregation to take this month of November as a month to purposely give God thanks throughout each day! Every day we will, as with one heart, be thankful for the same thing! Let’s get started! Check off each day you complete with a heart of thanksgiving!   ___November 1—Thank God for your salvation through Jesus Christ. (Ps. 62:6-7; John 1:

The last Sunday I was here we ended with the idea of bearing fruit as a result of believing the truth that Jesus is the only way to the Father. He is our Savior. The fruit we produce as believers is directly related to the root of the vine we belong to—and that vine is Jesus!   The fruit of doing what is right reveals the roots that are in our hearts—that we have been born again. The new birth precedes new behavior. Paul writes in Corinthians that “if any person be in Christ
