Pastor Fraker invites you to listen to and meditate upon Psalm 46 today. Great peace, power and comfort from the LORD—our refuge and strength and very present help in trouble. God’s rich blessings to you as you continue to learn to be still and know that He is God.

What a day this is! Above all—it’s a day the Lord has made, so we rejoice in it! We also follow the Apostle Paul’s guidance to pray. Pray for the elections, pray for our leaders, pray for our nation. And, as we see in 1 Timothy 2, we do so in order that more and more people will come to the knowledge of the Savior of the world, Jesus Christ!

**Time for a posture-check! No need to stand or straighten…today we’ll be refreshed and nurtured by some Psalms that will both encourage and empower postures of humble and sincere thanksgiving and praise to the LORD—whose steadfast love and faithfulness in Christ never run out or dry! **Sorry, we had some technical difficulty six minutes into our lesson. Be patient, the sound comes back. Thank you!

One of the Collects (Prayers) of the Church asks God to bless us as we “read, mark, learn and inwardly digest” His Word. That in fact happens—not because of our ingenuity, sincerity, or accomplishment. It happens by God’s grace given to us in Christ Jesus, Who is the means by which we are forgiven and brought into God’s family! Join Pastor Fraker today in being nourished by a powerful section of Romans Chapter 3.

Pastor Fraker’s devotion today focuses on the last words of 2 Corinthians. Packed with strong encouragement, God’s love and peace are given to us in order that they may flow from us! God bless you as you practice His love to others.

The name of the LORD is great! His steadfast love truly does and powerfully does endure forever! And, by His grace, in our Lord Jesus Christ we are citizens of heaven now and always. That makes us strangers and aliens here—always singing the song: “I’m but a stranger here, heaven is my home.” Join Pastor Fraker today in the exploration of three powerful Psalms…God’s blessings, peace, and strength await you as you do!

We who are in Christ are precisely that—one in Him. One body, with Christ as our loving Lord and Head. Each of us is an important part of His body. We rejoice together, encourage one another, and need each other. How we treat each other matters to Jesus! Join Pastor Fraker today in a meditation on 1 Corinthians 12:12-26.

The Bible tells us so! The basic, eternal, loving message of God’s Word is His love for us in Christ. You’ll be blessed today as you join Pastor Fraker hearing and absorbing 1 Corinthians 13, the great Love Chapter!
