Our mission to to honor God and bring Him glory by finishing the race that God has outlined for us to run. 

Be aware of the character of God, read the Bible, get to know Him.

Run the race given to you, stop trying to change it to your liking.

Continually look to His faithfulness and how He has worked in your life. 

When God seems silent in our suffering, our faith grows.

Psalm 77 helps build our faith in the midst of our situations, good and bad. The psalmist shows us how to lean on God. The psalmist cries out all night long, searching for answers. He feels abandoned, but he turns to God and intentionally meditates and remembers the good that God has done. 

God is our refuge and our strength. 

No matter the trouble, we do not need to be fearful, God is our ever present help. 

He never walks away from us, we can trust God's presence. 

Know and rest in the truth that God is your refuge and strength. Pause your worries and fear and recognize the presence of God. 

David shows us how to stand firm in the storms of life.

Trust God as your light and salvation, God is with you, there is nothing to fear.

Delight in God, seek His guideance and presence. 

Unity among God's people is a beautiful, sacred gift. 

When we funcgtion in unity it is a beautiful, sacred gift from God that reflects His blessings to us, which provides life and hope. 

God, Our Father, knows us completely, there is nothing that God does not know. 

This is God's omniscience.

God is always with us, He comforts us with His presence.

This is God's omnipresence.

God created us intentionally, he knows all about our strengths and weaknesses, because He made them. 

This is God's omnipotence.

Take comfort in knowing that God knows us and is always with us. Trust God. 

We only have one life to live, no do overs and we do not know the number of our days. 

We should be living for God's glory with whatever number of days we have.

Live well, every day counts. 

Glorify God, how do you spend time with God?

Love well, Share God's mercy and compassion with others around you.

Universally praise God in voice and action because He deserves it. 

Make this summer one of renewal and worship. Observe God's glory and share God with others, intentionally.

David vs. Goliath. David's trust in God is what won the battle, not David himself. 

We need to trust God's faithfulness in all our challenging circumstances. The Lord has provided us with the simple tools needed to fight our battles his way. Those tools are His word, prayer, the Holy Spirit, and godly people. Use these tools and trust God's faithfulness. David did and he won the battle. 

The message today is from Deuteronomy 6 verses 1 through 9, part of Moses' farewell address. 

You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your might. Deuteronomy 6:5

Examine your own faith as you raise your children, you aren't going to give to your children what you do not possess. Love God fully, learn and live God's words, talk about the word and create a godly home.
