Joel Morgan introduces a new evangelism initiative for the fall.

On the evening of July 25, 2021, our VBS Volunteer Team gathered to encourage one another and praise God for all the things he did at our Vacation Bible School in June. We also spent time commissioning the teens from St. Johns First Baptist Church who are running their own VBS this coming week.

We often tell ourselves that we do not love what we really do love –  we’re too ashamed. But, in the end, our heart always tells the truth.  Jesus knows that – he made us that way. Let’s listen to him today.

God receives glory through the ultimate suffering of Jesus, and God also  receives glory when his children trust him and persevere through times  of suffering. There is much we can do to help us persevere when we face  suffering. Today we look at another example from the life of David, and  the power of lifting our eyes.

The group finishes praying their way through the book of Colossians.

What is wrong with a little “white lie”? What harm does it do? If we  understood the harm – whenever the truth is compromised, or a lie  prevails, would we see it as “no harm”? God tells us to speak the truth  in love. We need to care about the truth as much as he does.

Another in a series on Prayers of the Bible, this time we study and pray through the prayers found in the book of Colossians.

Why do we do what we do? What are our strongest motivations? What should motivate us the most? Jesus has some ideas about that.

Our lives show who and what we love. We cannot hide it – our true loves  are demonstrated. Jesus said, “Out of the overflow of the heart, the  mouth speaks”. Today we look at the story of Jonathon and David – and we  see where their hearts were. May we love Jesus like this.
