God uses "spiritual boot camp" to develop genuine faith

"God is in control of who is in control"

The "table customs" of Jesus

GALATIANS 2:10 "... we should continue to remember the poor, the very thing I was eager to do.

God did not give us the spirit of fear (2 Timothy 1:7)... therefore we must learn to overcome the fears that paralyze us. We do this by learning to trust God. We will look at the story of Joshua and hw God led him to overcome fear.

We all have a past and often times it is filled with baggage that we would rather not let anyone see. But Jesus comes and desires to have your all and He wants to deal with it so you can have a great future in Christ with freedom!

We are so blessed. The problem is that all too often we use our comfort for our own benefit rather than helping others. Today you will be challenged to get out of your comfort zone and show compassion to others as God calls us to.

When we compare ourselves to other, we cannot fully follow the race or purpose God had laid out for us.

Praising the Lord of the Harvest and praying for: Bridges of connection, endurance through obstacles; leading by example and that God would "fan the flame"

THEREFORE...always give yourselves fully to the work of the Lord because you know that your labor in the Lord is not in vain
