21 DOP - Week 1 - Presence

Make it a habit to give God your attention. Stillness prepares me for what God wants me to hear. “The quieter the mind, the more powerful and perfect the prayer is.” | Eckhart The Bible is Gods voice and prayer is my response. We when listen is shows that our prayer lives aren’t just a transaction but its based on a relationship. This week, before you ask God for anything, spend time with Him in worship, gratitude, and listening. Make a daily habit of starting prayer with His presence, not your problems.

What's Your Story?

Mark 5. 1-20 Your story isn’t just for you. We use our story in the worship of God. We use our story to point other people to God. We can testify to the miraculous power of Jesus and his authority over hopelessness and despair. Because, we are miracles and walking testimonies of the power of Jesus.

Seek First

Joshua 1: 1-10 God’s Word isn’t just information—it’s direction. You can’t be surprised you ended up in the wrong place when you ignored the map. Obedience is the bridge between knowing the Word and walking in strength. Joshua was stepping into a new role, and God knew he needed help and guidance. He gave Joshua the rules, but it was still Joshuas decision whether he was going to obey. Just like you and I have the decision every day on what we are going to seek. If you want to be strong and courageous, you’ve got to stay close and obedient.

Stories - Week 10 - The Rich Fool

Luke 12: 13-21 (CSB) Jesus made it very clear...life is not found in an abundance of possessions. It’s found in those rich toward God. A “rich toward God” life looks like, a life defined by God, measured by eternal impact, rooted in purpose, and fulfilled by a relationship with Him. Life is not about how much do I have? It’s who am I becoming?

Stories - Week 9 - The Good Samaritan

[Luke 10:25-37] Because God first loved us, we can love him supremely and love others as ourselves. We can be the hands and feet of Jesus to everyone we meet from day to day. God is not surprised by where we are and what we do. He has given us assignments, areas of influence, whether it be at work, school, your neighborhood, your gym. God knows you are going to come into contact with people who are hurting, struggling, and need the hope of Jesus Christ. And these acts of compassion don’t have to be big but they do need to be intentional.

Stories - Week 7 - The Unforgiving Servant

The Unforgiving Servant - Matthew 18.21-35 When we offend, we are called to repent and apologize. When someone comes to us and repents...we must forgive. Not 7 times, but 70x7. We must stand ready with the same compassion manifested by this King. Forgiven people, forgive people. The Christian has to be a person of a forgiving spirit. Holding grudges, allowing bitterness to grow up in your life is one of the most destructive things we can ever do. The application here in this parable is the same that comes from The Lord’s prayer...forgive us our debts, as we forgive out debtors. That’s kinds of a scary prayer to pray. If we are not willing to forgive those who have sinned against us, we should never expect God to forgive us. – Sproul Forgiveness is at the very heart of the Christian faith. We of all people should be known as a forgiving people.
