And Stephen, full of grace and power, was doing great wonders and signs among the people. Then some of those who belonged to the synagogue of the Freedmen (as it was called), and of the Cyrenians, and of the Alexandrians, and of those from Cilicia and Asia, rose up and disputed with Stephen. But theyContinue reading “stand with God…”

Give by God…
Jesus said to them, “I am the bread of life; whoever comes to me shall not hunger, and whoever believes in me shall never thirst. But I said to you that you have seen me and yet do not believe. All that the Father gives me will come to me, and whoever comes to meContinue reading “Give by God…”
Carried…
I had a conversation today with a dear friend and he asked during the conversation, “Is it possible for a sinner to go to a sacrament?” Now take for a moment that my friend use to be Catholic… It is a very profound question.

Therefore, beloved, since you are waiting for these, be diligent to be found by him without spot or blemish, and at peace.

The Fullness of You…
Prayer of Invocation: Isaiah 55: 1-9 We gather today, O Lord of Life, seeking fullness. Not the fullness our world offers, but fullness that comes from You.

Secret Snickers
Have you ever watched a movie or tv show where a group of people were stranded somewhere for an unforeseen amount of time and one of them had some food they were trying to hide from the others. Maybe because they knew there wasn’t really enough for everyone, or maybe because they were just greedy and didn’tContinue reading “Secret Snickers”

Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive.
