Rethinking Life
Feb 26
The Christian is to reflect the life of Christ and biblical ideals. Far too often, however, we settle for mediocrity in many areas of our lives. And as a result, relationships suffer, faith erodes, finances crumble, and hope dissipates. How can we maximize our relationships, improve our finances, live with courage, find joy in serving like Christ, become a person of faith, and live a godly life? Or, put simply, how can we live to please God? On January 8, Pastor Rob begins a new teaching series on the life of Joseph entitled “Rethinking Life.” Joseph’s life story is riddled with practical principles God wants us to incorporate in our lives today. Don’t miss a single week of this new 8-part series as together we “rethink life” and establish a new resolve for the New Year.

5. Pray continuously for our missionaries that God will enable them to reach many with the gospel, and that their daily needs will be met.

Not everybody can GO to the mission field, but we are part of the team when we SEND missionaries—both with our financial support and with our prayers of support.
