Monday Mission - Helping Hand
We all could use a helping hand from time to time.
Friday Devotional - Beauty from Ashes
A blog I read (listed below) talks about how life can be really hard sometimes and that in the Bible, ashes symbolize deep repentance and grief. There’s plenty of examples in the Bible about God’s people who experience hardship, yet God redeems their experiences (i.e., Job, Daniel, etc.).
Thursday Thoughts - Context
In the book of Philippians, the Apostle Paul writes, “I can do all things through Him who strengthens me.” What an inspirational and encouraging text.

Tuesday Truths - Hate What is Evil
A bit of encouragement today in a world so divided, Romans 12 reminds us to: 9 Hate what is evil
Monday Mission - Worship
I don't know about you, but the last few weeks have felt like a grind. Maybe it is the post holiday blues, or my fading New Year's resolutions, or maybe the winter snow that keeps falling.

Anyone looking forward to being back together with family, friends, and fellow worshipers of Jesus? I know our family is! One of the events we missed last year was RiseFest in Sheldon, IA.
Tuesday Truths - The Lord is My Rock
Psalm 62:2 He alone is my rock and my salvation, my fortress where I will never be shaken.
Monday Mission - Live Alive in Christ
On Friday Perry shared with us how God can bring dry bones to life. Today I want to start off our week thinking a little more about that idea. Are you alive? Or just living?
Friday Devotional- Jesus in the Book of Ezekiel, Dry Bones
We’ve been working through the Old Testament looking for the New Testament Jesus 100’s even 1,000’s of years before He was born.
