I want you to remember three words today–call, respond, go.

Let’s trust or choose to trust again, even in the areas that seem to be marked with waiting or difficulty.

Jesus heals the things we want him to heal, the things others are looking at, and wondering if Jesus will heal. He also heals the things that no one can see. Jesus heals withered hands and hard hearts!

Jesus gives a clear calling for his disciples: Get in my presence – be sent out to preach – walk in my power. Presence – Preach – Power. I think the order is significant. 

I’d like to challenge you today to ask the Lord what spiritual practices you may have been weaponizing against yourself. Take that thing and ask the Lord to give you a renewed perspective of how to utilize that practice for growth in your walk with God. 

Fasting should be done out of devotion not just out of discipline. You can apply this principle to any religious act. It should be done out of love and not out of fear. It should be an “I get to” not and not just an “I have to”.

Today Pastor Ernest Clover teaches about Jesus' ministry to people.

Welcome back to NCC Daily. I’m Ashlei Brathwaite, and I serve over Family Ministries at our NoVA location. I’m excited to be with you again, as we begin to enjoy a summer of exploring Jesus using the Book of Mark. Today we’re going to kick off week 2 focusing on Mark 2:1-13.

Welcome to Week 2 of the Prayer Walk Challenge. I trust you are experiencing a new awareness as you are walking and praying and interacting in your context. What and who are you seeing? What are you noticing about yourself? How are you carrying yourself? Can I just remind you: You are a hope dealer, a blessing hurler, a kingdom bringer!

What a FIRST week we have had journeying through the first chapter of the book of Mark. There is something special that happens when we dedicate ourselves to the reading of the word and to prayer. And it’s happening.
