The God Minute

Amazing Grace/He is Lord by Steph Macleod

Fear or Faith
The beginning of the year is a wonderful time to concur your fears through faith.  God's grace will enable us to have everything we need to rise above that which binds us.

SCRIPTURE
Isaiah 43: 19

MUSIC
"Be Not Afraid"

Blessings
With the start of a new year, we get a chance to have a fresh start to do whatever it takes to better ourselves.  Let's listen to where our focus might be.

SCRIPTURE
Ephesians 1: 3

MUSIC
"Peace Is Flowing Like a River"

Stitched into the fabric of human existence is the condition of suffering. We all experience it and there is no escape. Why? Lots of books have been written on that-- but the more important question really is, "HOW"? How do we manage and make sense of it?

The answer to that question is answered every time we gaze upon the cross. Or, as Lauren reflects today, every time we gaze upon a .... balloon?

MUSIC

Peace and Holiness
After all the Christmas music is silenced and all the packages put away, we still have the Lord who calls us to peace and holiness.

Concert Friday - The Old and the New
Today, on this Concert Friday, where we allow music to lead us in prayer, we say farewell to the old year with all its challenges and blessings in order to welcome, with hope, a New Year full of grace!

A consistent message from Jesus to his followers is one of peace. And in a world still in the grips of a pandemic- they are consoling words to hear.
