Congregational Care Update
Surround one another with love and support My hope is to send a different kind of post each day focusing on a different part of our life together as a community of faith. Today’s post is focused on our care of each other. Many of us are starting to feel anxiety caused by the separation of not meeting together it is even affecting introverts like me 🙂 When we start to feel anxious, let’s follow Paul’s advice to stop and…

Teaching Our Youth Impress them on your children. Talk about them when you sit at home and when you walk along the road, when you lie down and when you get up. Deuteronomy 6:7 Did you Know? Blaise Pascal (1623–1662) was a French mathematician, physicist, and religious philosopher who wrote a treatise on vibrating bodies at nine years old; his first proof, on a wall with a piece of coal, at 11 years old; and a theorem by 16 years…

Our Loving Friend Originally Posted on InTouch Ministries, View Original Post Here You see, at just the right time, when we were still powerless, Christ died for the ungodly. Very rarely will anyone die for a righteous person, though for a good person someone might possibly dare to die. But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. Since we have now been justified by his blood, how much more shall we be saved from…

Where is YOur Beacon? Did You Know? In 1959 a British Petroleum survey crew, while looking for oil in the North African desert of Libya, spotted the wreckage of a B-24 bomber. Upon investigation, it proved to be the remains of the “Lady Be Good,” a WWII bomber that had returned from a mission in Italy but had never reached the airbase. Mysteriously, the plane was empty. What caused the “Lady Be Good” to miss her base, landing more than…

To Mary Neylan; A CLASSIC C.S. LEWIS DEVOTIONAL On troughs; on believing as an intellectual assent and as a psychological state; the despair of overcoming chronic temptations; and on how God likes to be asked. Lewis discloses that, at the direction of Father Adams, he has shortened an ever-lengthening list of people for whom he was praying. Sorry you’re in a trough. I’m just emerging (at least I hope I am) from a long one myself. As for the difficulty…

Spring Training for Christians Written by Shawn McEvoy Originally Posted on Crosswalk, View Original Post Here So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer. 2 Corinthians 5:16 You’ve probably heard that God loves baseball. After all, He began his holy book with the words, “In the big inning…” Everyone who loves baseball like the Lord does feels a tremendous rush this…

LENTEN DEVOTIONAL DAY 10 For this reason I, Paul, the prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles—Surely you have heard about the administration of God’s grace that was given to me for you, that is, the mystery made known to me by revelation, as I have already written briefly. Ephesians 3:1-3 What do you think exactly what Paul is saying here? He talks about being a prisoner of Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles, but…

Lenten Devotional Day 9 Consequently, you are no longer foreigners and strangers, but fellow citizens with God’s people and also members of his household, built on the foundation of the apostles and prophets, with Christ Jesus himself as the chief cornerstone. In him the whole building is joined together and rises to become a holy temple in the Lord. And in him you too are being built together to become a dwelling in which God lives by his Spirit. Ephesians…

Lenten Devotional Day 8 For he himself is our peace, who has made the two groups one and has destroyed the barrier, the dividing wall of hostility, by setting aside in his flesh the law with its commands and regulations. His purpose was to create in himself one new humanity out of the two, thus making peace, and in one body to reconcile both of them to God through the cross, by which he put to death their hostility. He…

Lenten Devotional Day 7 remember that at that time you were separate from Christ, excluded from citizenship in Israel and foreigners to the covenants of the promise, without hope and without God in the world. But now in Christ Jesus you who once were far away have been brought near by the blood of Christ. Ephesians 2:12-13 We all were separated from God. We were excluded and turned away, treated as foreigners. There was no hope and God was not…

Lenten Devotional DAy 6 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— not by works, so that no one can boast. For we are God’s handiwork, created in Christ Jesus to do good works, which God prepared in advance for us to do. Ephesians 2:8-10 We have been saved only through the grace of God. No matter what you do here on earth you can never…
