Read: 1 Corinthians 13:4-7 How do I even begin to love others? A significant part of that is receiving God’s love for you. In the verses above, we read exactly how God feels about you and how he responds to you. Read it again. What part of God’s love for you do you need to …
Today is an opportunity to step out of the chaos of work and life to be refreshed and renewed. How will you sit at Jesus’ feet today to learn from him? Listen…
I look up to the mountains—does my help come from there? My help comes from the Lord, who made heaven and earth! He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber. Indeed, he who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps. The Lord himself watches over you! The Lord …
As we celebrate community today, I think on Paul’s words in Colossians 1:28-29. He says that he works so hard because he wants to present others to Christ “perfect.” That’s a confusing word.

Today I will worship at home. There is nothing better than gathering together with others to give praise to our God! Reading: Psalm 147
Another opportunity to worship in community. People are scary. I agree. So wherever you are today, embrace life and faith. Meet Jesus on your recliner, in your pew, or at the beach. He is everywhere present. There is no where we can go that he is not already been. Reading: Psalm 139
We are better together! Find someone to worship with today. People are just plain scary sometimes, but I believe you can do it. If it hasn’t gone well for you in the past, give it another try. Read: Hebrews 10:23-25
