Pray for grace. Revel in mercy. Be kindhearted. Give generously. Hope without limits. Love conspicuously.
The mission of God requires that the church move from a catering mentality to an equipping formation. Let’s get out there and make disciples of all nations!
Jesus didn’t call us to blend in but to shine forth! Let’s transform culture with the gospel’s unyielding light. #BeTheChange #BiblicalTruth
I’m reminding you again to find a copy of this book and read it.
As the church navigates cultural upheaval and spiritual carnage around us, we need these wise words from @JRRTolkien
If you’re under a heavy burden, remember that the Lord is exalted on His throne in glorious power AND He is near all those who struggle. We serve the King who stoops down to care for you with immeasurable grace.
Accountability between believers is not a painful intrusion but a joyful intervention to the damaging consequences of sin.
Lead because you love; not because you need to be loved.
Digging through Romans 12-16 again. This morning, I just sat for a while with 12:9 and was grateful for the many kindnesses I receive from God and my fellow believers.
"Backsliding generally first begins with neglect of private prayer." - J.C. Ryle, in A Call to Prayer
Live like God knows & cares about every detail of your life because He does. Praise the name of the Lord.
“You cannot multiply by dividing. We must stand together on the Word of God to reach a lost world.” - Adrian Rogers
As a leader, be the first one to climb on the altar this week.
Tell me something encouraging about your church. Let’s do some celebrating about all the ways the God is working.
“The Bible is a living book, not a dead one; a divine one, not a human one; a perfect one, not an imperfect one. Search it, study it, dig into it.” - Horatius Bonar, in God's Way of Peace
It’s Sunday! Let’s worship the risen King, preach the Word of God, call people to follow Christ, bear one another’s burdens, intercede for our nation, and joyfully commit ourselves to God’s mission in the world.
🔥🔥 PASTOR ROLL CALL 🔥🔥 What’s the scripture text and topic for your sermon? What is the church, city, and state where you are ministering? How can I pray for you?
Prayer is a weapon that can be used powerfully. Power is a weapon that should only be used prayerfully.
