“First Steps” by Rev. Dr. Shane Green – August 5, 2024

This summer, Dr. Green wanted to share some of his favorite First Steps from previous years.

August 5On this Monday, I ask you to consider this quote from Julian of Norwich, a 14th Century Christian mystic: “There is no creature made that can understand how much and how sweetly and how tenderly our maker loves us. And so we may with God’s grace and help stand in spiritual beholding with everlasting marveling at this high, surpassing, immeasurable love that our good Lord has for us. And therefore we may ask of our Lord, with reverence all that we will, for our natural will is to have God, and God’s good will is to have us, and we can never cease willing or loving until we have God in the fullness of joy.” Make time this week to consider the depths, heights, and lengths, of God’s love for you. Allow God’s Spirit to spill into you and all that you touch. Imagine the image of Christ dwelling in and with you.

This Week’s Readings:
Monday – Exodus 11
Tuesday – Exodus 12
Wednesday – Exodus 13
Thursday – Exodus 14
Friday – Exodus 15

We are reading the Bible in just a little over a year! We have completed Genesis and are now reading Exodus. You may join anytime. Just mark your Bible on the chapter you started and keep up with the weekly readings.

Things to Pray About:
Pray for our country and the 2024 Presidential Election.
Pray for guidance.
Our unwillingly absent members and shut-ins.
Pray for comfort for those who are grieving.
Wisdom for our church leaders, local leaders, and world leaders.
Family restoration through forgiveness.
Continued growth of the faith of the people.
Pray for inner peace.

“Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need and thank him for all he has done.” – Philippians 4:6
