A Thanksgiving Devotion: Jesus Prepares the Table by Guest Speaker Jason: Scripture Reading: “You prepare a table before me in the presence of my enemies; You anoint my head with oil; my cup overflows.” — Psalm 23:5 (ESV) “And he took bread, gave thanks and broke it, and gave it to them, saying, ‘This is my body given for you; do this in remembrance of me.’” — Luke 22:19 (NIV)

A phrase that I heard a lot growing up is:

Have you ever gone on a trip where you didn’t have to plan anything?

With the Presidential election happening here in America right now, it’s getting harder and harder to watch and listen to all the talk.

The book of Esther is a great example of God being present even when it doesn’t seem like it. This book is the only book in the Bible where God is not directly mentioned. Even though He is not mentioned by name or even indirectly, his presence is evident everywhere.

By Guest Speaker Rory. Thank you for sharing this powerful message today.

We can’t make a garden grow, but we can definitely be the reason it doesn’t grow! -lack of water -too much water -too much sun -not enough sun, etc. Same goes for community! The Holy Spirit does the work. We are just instruments. The Holy Spirit makes a community or relationship truly grow. We can still be the reason that a community or relationship doesn’t grow though! -Toxic relationships -Constant arguing/debating -Talking behind other’s backs -Selfishness

The political climate in our country seems so dark right now. I turned on the debate the other night a couple times, only to turn it off again because of feeling my stomach turn. I even had feelings of embarrassment watching it. To see two leaders treat each other like they did says a lot about the state of our world. It was like watching two children that don't know any better. There’s such a feeling of hate out there. It’s like a dark cloud hovering over all of us. What is this all about?
