1. Dispatcher: 9-1-1 What is the nature of your emergency?
    Caller: I’m trying to reach nine eleven but my phone doesn’t have
    an eleven on it.

  2. In most decisions the key element is not so much knowing what to do but in living with the results.

    — J. Oswald Sanders

  3. I’ve learned that any genuine communication to God may or may not change what God does, but your prayer will often change your heart or perspective. Prayer reminds you that you’re not in control and keeps you close to the one who is.

  5. The Other Six Days

    Worshiping and serving others for Christ shouldn’t end when the church service is over on Sunday. As the body of Christ, we are called to reach the lost and build up the found.

    This may seem like a monumental task, and it is, but together we can accomplish it by using the gifts that God has blessed us with. If you are a leader, you can lead a LifeGroup and help build people up spiritually and physically. If you love serving others, you can serve others on a global scale at Church Online. If you are a generous giver, you can fill LifePacks for the needy. If you are a builder, you can serve the community you live in by building shelters for the homeless. If your a musician, you can lead other in worship to God. I want to encourage you to to be an active member of the church, don’t be content in just attending the service on Sunday’s.

    So as you leave the service on Sunday, think of ways you can serve others with what you have. It doesn’t have to be much, it could be taking an extra minute to talk to a coworker who’s going through tough times or giving a little more to the waitress you tip at the diner who’s working to make ends meet.

    My point is that God has already equipped you with what you need to serve others in your everyday life. You can start by clicking the links below and getting involved!
