As For Me
08
Jul '16
A lot of people take pleasure in boasting about themselves and their success. It’s because they need to make themselves feel valued. It takes a humble person to not deceive themselves into taking credit for their own accomplishments. The person who feels valued by God will boast about all that God has done for them. Everything comes into perspective as you grow in relationship with your heavenly Father. What praises are you singing to the God of Jacob?

We Will Tell

Jul '16
The next generation is struggling and looking for guidance. What better way to introduce them to the Lord, than to share you miraculous encounters with the Lord? Over time these harrowing rescues may fade in our memory so write them down with your full emotions. Later we can uncover them to retell the stories. Not only is this an act of worship but it is also a personal reviving of your spirit walk. Plus, there’s the bonus of igniting a desire for the Lord in someone you can influence. Have you shared lately the mighty wonders the Lord has done in your life?

Thirsting For God
07
Jul '16
Are you thirsting for God right now? Thirsting for water is a slow, small feeling that takes root in your tongue that grows until you cannot stand it anymore. In thirsting for God, your days are not quite right and you are wandering aimlessly until you just cannot go further without connecting with God. Quench your thirst and spend some time with God. Read His Words, listen to Him in prayer, or just be still. He is there waiting for you.

Jesus Paid the Debt
07
Jul '16
Do you hold grudges? Do you have bills? Those are forms of debt. Have faith that those debts can be canceled. Jesus paid for our sins when He died upon the cross, why not have faith that He can pay our other debts too. Give that grudge you’ve been holding onto to Jesus, He will take care of it. Worried about how your going to pay that bill, give that worry to Him too. Have faith that He will take care of it. Sow into His Kingdom, so He can Sow into you. ‘And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors’ Matthew 6:12.

Let Freedom Ring
05
Jul '16
‘Let freedom ring’ is the sentiment celebrated on this day. But regarding this thought of freedom there are some very different interpretations. For some this freedom means to throw off every claim of a legitimate authority including the appropriate laws (Psalm 2:2-3). This is not freedom but open rebellion where we desire to be a law unto ourselves. With autonomous spirit each man will do what is right in his own eyes and pain and suffering will surely follow for individuals, families, communities and nations.Let Free
For those in Christ, we have been given freedom to serve Jesus as Lord, which implies that we have given up the claim of being our own Lord. As we are saved we turn to God’s Law and with the power of the Spirit, we seek to obey and here we find liberty and are blessed (James 1:25). True freedom is to have our affections changed from fleshly and sinful to honorable and noble. This transformation occurs as we meditate on God’s Law day and night (Psalm 1:2). In Christ we have been given liberty which is to be used to live eternally and not unto licentious living that leads to death.

The Temple

Jul '16
The Temple Don’t you realize that your body is the temple of the Holy Spirit, who lives in you and was given to you by God?
( 1 Corinthians 6:19 )
God’s presence is fully found in both the Notre Dame Cathedral and the rural cinderblock church. Both of these are temple’s built to honor and glorify God. In the same way, the Holy Spirit is found inside your body. Your body is beautiful. It brings glory to God. Be amazed at the wonder of your body, your eyes, fingers, and even the aches and pains. It is special. God created you to be you, in the way you look, your voice, and even your imperfections. Your body is sacred. Rest in that thought.

Offer Him the Praise
01
Jul '16
When we pray to God, most of the time we gloss over praising God. Instead, we cut to the chase and just ask God to bless us, our children, and heal our neighbors. Yet we serve a powerful God. One who deserves to be recognized and admired for His love, power, and grace. Let’s spend a few moments talking to God by sharing our love and honor for Him. Isn’t He glorious?

God is like Oxygen
01
Jul '16
Faith is defined as having complete trust or confidence in someone or something. We don’t see oxygen, we trust it’s there when we take a breath. We know it’s there when we continue to breathe. God isn’t visable to us, but his works are. Look around, look at all your blessings, look at the world he created for you and me. We may not see him but we trust he is there, because of these things. Have FAITH! Have complete trust that God is always there, He is always listening, He is always with you! #trustingGod #faithwalk #exerciseyourfaith #heritagechristianchurch #hcc #hcc_mtsterling #achurchforfamilies
