Today’s Prayer
The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul. The statutes of the Lord are trustworthy, making wise the simple. The precepts of the Lord are right, giving joy to the heart. The commands of the Lord are radiant, giving light to the eyes. The fear of the Lord is pure, enduring forever. The decrees of the Lord are firm, and all of them are righteous. —Psalm 19:7-9 (NIV)
Your laws, O Lord, are perfect, trustworthy, right, pure, and never-changing. With all the chaos around us, it is refreshing to know your truths stay the same. Focusing my eyes on you, my soul is refreshed, and my heart is filled with joy. I see your light and I know you are greater than any problem I may have. You are there for me today just as you were for the prophets of old. You have never changed and never will. May this be my comfort as I keep my eyes focused on you. I pray in the name of Jesus. Amen.
February Newsletter
Please pick up your February newsletter in the narthex.
Take the Sermon Home
The New Year brings a new opportunity to study God’s Word at home! Each week Pastor Voss will work up a few study questions that will help you dig deeper into the sermon text and possibly make connections to that Sunday’s other Scripture readings. You can access them on our website under “Learn and Grow.” Before you head out the door in the morning, after dinner, or before bedtime, pull up the questions on your phone, tablet, or computer and work through them during the week. “Answers” will be provided to help frame the conversations you have at home. These study questions and the sermon recording will be usually available on the website on Tuesdays. God bless your study of his Word!
