Thursday Thought - God is Love
My beloved friends, let us continue to love each other since love comes from God. Everyone who loves is born of God and experiences a relationship with God. The person who refuses to love doesn’t know the first thing about God, because God is love—so you can’t know him if you don’t love. This is how God showed his love for us: God sent his only Son into the world so we might live through him.

Wednesday Story of Impact - Waukesha, WI Impacts Community
The Pizza Ranch in Waukesha, WI continues to be a pillar of hope for their community. Last year the city experienced turmoil when a Christmas Parade turned tragic, storms devastated the area in July, and COVID continued to shock local charities, schools and organizations with closures and limited activities. #WaukeshaStrong became their anthem and the Pizza Ranch has stepped up to the plate on many occasions to make sure all are welcome and taken care of.

Tuesday Truth - Perfect Love
In our fallen human state, we are incapable of the perfect love that our hearts desire. Christ, however, has set the example for us and described how we should love others in 1 Corinthians 13:4-7.

Friday Devotional - The Soil of our Heart
This morning we’re looking at Mark 4:1-21, which is about the parable of the soils. Most often this parable is seen as a salvation passage. In other words, Christians are the result of seeds falling on good soil. BUT, we’re going to look at it from a different perspective today. We’re going to look at it as a daily experience for each of us who claim Christ in our life.
