One of the most beautiful prayers for spiritual renewal in the Bible comes from Psalm 51: “create in me a clean heart…restore to me the joy of your salvation and grant me a willing spirit to sustain me.”  We will examine the practice of prayer- what it is and what it is not- in the life of the Christian.

Text: 2 Timothy 2:23​-26  Effect evangelism never happens by trying to “argue” a case for faith but, rather, we are called by God to “gently instruct.”  God’s Word is a not given as a weapon or as a justification for judgement but rather it is the good news that has been given for all people whom we are called to love and serve.

Text: Colossians 3:16​-17 Paul’s advice to the Colossians was solid for the renewal of faith: “Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly.”  But in order for this to happen in our lives, we need to take some time to read God’s word and let it take root in our hearts and minds!

Text: 2 Timothy 4:1-5  We know that God calls us to share our faith but we often struggle with what to say, how to say it, and when to say it.  Paul’s advice to Timothy is advice for all of God’s people in every time and place: “preach the Word, be prepared in season and out of season…”  And I ask God to help and guide me!

Text: Matthew 25:14-30. When we are faithful in the small things in life, we are on our way to becoming trusted with the larger things.  This principle of Jesus applies to us in the workplace, but in the rest of life also.  The small things in life matter and God can help us do great things from small beginnings.

Since ancient times Ash Wednesday is a time for reflection and humble repentance - a reminder that we are all sinners, death is real and the Resurrection Day is coming. All are welcome to let the Lord use the ashes of your past to create in you a clean heart and a new life in him.

Text: Hebrews 10:24​-26.  Faithfulness in the small acts of building community can lead us to the habits that are life-giving and life-affirming.  The author of Hebrews urges us to “spur one another on toward love and good deeds” and reminds us not to give up meeting together so that we don’t miss out on the opportunity to encourage each other through all of life’s difficulties.  Our faithful acts of building community lead the kind of life-enriching experiences that God wants for us.

Text: Psalm 119:1-7, 10-11.  Regardless of our age, we are called by God to a life of learning.  Our faithfulness in the small things leads us to a place of growth and our capacity for learning all that life throws our way is never beyond God’s ability to help and guide us.

Text: Matthew 9:16-17.  The need for us to be faithful as innovators is illustrated by Jesus’ parable of how new wineskins are needed for new wine.  If the new wine is poured into old wineskins, they will burst.  We are called by God to “sing a new song to the Lord.”  This applies not only to our worship, but to our lives as well.

Text: Deuteronomy 6:4-9.  The simplest and smallest reminders of God’s great love for us can make a difference in our homes.  God’s statutes are there for us to make a real difference in our lives so “write them on the doorframes of your houses and on your gates.”
