Living in Worship
"I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship."
Romans 12:1
While summer often encourages us to disconnect, embracing a deeper connection with Jesus opens the door to true freedom and the opportunity to engage more deeply, especially in worship. Is worship merely a slow song sung in quiet reverence, or does it encompass something far greater?
90.1 Summer Suggestions:
8. Scripture: Read or memorize scripture aloud
9. Nature: Take a walk in a park or neighborhood and admire nature's wonders
10. Journal: Keep a faith journal
11. Silence: Set aside a day to try to remain still

13. Serve: Pray for neighbors or coworkers who don't know Jesus, or pray for a neighborhood during a prayer walk

Do Good. Be Good. Share Good.

Walking out Wisdom

By turning to the Bible for wisdom, individuals gain a solid foundation that empowers them to live with discernment, humility, and compassion.

GOD is Sovereign and He helps YOU!
"For in him all things were created: things in heaven and on earth, visible and invisible, whether thrones or powers or rulers or authorities; all things have been created through him and for him. He is before all things, and in him all things hold together."
Colossians 1:16-17
At the heart of faith lies the profound truth of God's sovereignty—a reminder that He is not only all-powerful but also intimately involved in our lives. Despite our struggles and uncertainties, His desire to help us remains unwavering. With boundless love and compassion, He stands ready to guide, comfort, and empower us through every challenge and triumph. Trusting in His sovereignty, we find strength in knowing that we are never alone, for His hand is always there to lead us forward on the journey of faith.
