Matthew 5:1-2 reads: “One day as he saw the crowds gathering, Jesus went up on the mountainside and sat down. His disciples gathered around him, and he began to teach them.” In The Sermon on the Mount that follows, Jesus spoke to the multitudes who would listen. He starts with the Beatitudes, blessings for and identification of “attitudes” that all followers of Jesus are called to possess and display. May Jesus’ teaching on that mountain years ago continue to resonate and challenge us as truth today.

              Galatians 6:1-10

Sowing and reaping go hand-in-hand. Frequently, we consider this to be a personal and individual activity. How can – and do – we sow and reap as a community of believers together? What are the responsibilities for each of us and blessings to be gained?
 
 
 
 

 

 

 

Be Amazed!

“Look at the nations and watch – and be utterly amazed. For I am going to do something in your days that you would not believe, even if you were told.” (Habakkuk 1:5) Scripture is filled with many examples of God doing amazing things. He provides hope, peace, joy, and love in settings and situations in which we look at with awe and wonder. Come and be amazed by God and His care for his people.

       30         Hope in the Furnace            Doug

Having and holding hope is not the absence of struggle and strife. Hope is the trust and faith that God’s presence is always with us, even in the fire. Where will our eyes be focused in the middle of trouble and despair? We do not ignore the reality and stress of life. But we claim hope in the Lord Almighty.

Daniel 3:1, 8-30; Habakkuk 1:1-5, 3:17-19; Psalm 26:1-7

 7 Peace in the Valley of Bones Wes

“…you will know that I am the Lord.” Knowing and proclaiming this fact provides peace of heart and peace of mind that this world cannot provide. God’s breath provides life and vitality to our feeble and fragile humanity. Let us not lie broken and dormant. Let the Spirit of God live within us and through us.

Ezekiel 37:1-14; John 11:25-26

 14 Joy in the Desert Wes

Imagine you were walking through a desert wasteland and came upon a spring of clear, cold water. Your thirst would be quenched. Your body would be cooled and rejuvenated. God provides that for us spiritually. God provides that for us without fail. God provides that not just temporarily – but forever. Let us lay down our cares and find rest and joy in Him.

Isaiah 55:1-13; Psalm 42; Isaiah 40:1-5; John 4:13-14

       21         Love comes Down        

From the Creator of the world came the ultimate gift to all mankind. A gift from heaven. A gift of humility. A gift of sacrifice. A gift of royalty. A gift of power. A gift of wonder. A gift of light. A gift of redemption. A gift of pure and holy love.

John 1:1-18; Psalm 130:5-8; Isaiah 9:2, 6

28 God Among Us Doug

The Son of God was now walking this earth. John recognized Him. John saw the Spirit of God alight upon Jesus as God’s Chosen One. Jesus did not come to us as a king. He did not come with fanfare for the whole world to see. He came for us to recognize the truth He was to teach, as He lived in our presence. He was and truly is Immanuel – God with us. Will we recognize and honor and serve Him as Lord?

John 1:19-34; Psalm 32:1-2; Isaiah 40:3

 4 Come and See Wes

The Magi desired to “come and see” the prophesied Messiah. The Psalmist encourages us to “come and see” – to remember – the wonders that the Lord has done. Jesus called the disciples to “come and see” – to follow Him – and to experience truth and miracles they never imagined. Jesus calls us, just as he did the disciples, to a new way of life. Are we willing to “come and see” all that the Lord has for us?

John 1:35-51; Psalm 66:1-5; Matthew 2:1-12
