Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.

THANK. Write down 5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
READ. Today’s scripture reading is from Romans 15:5-6 & 1 John 4:7-21
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
A conversation Jesus had with one of his friends came to mind as I was reading this morning. Jesus said to Peter, “Do you love me? Then feed my sheep.” If we love God, we love the things, and the people He loves. Many people relate to God based on fear of punishment or not getting good things. But fear isn’t love. Love chooses. Love desires. We don’t love because we have to. We love because we get to. And when we love like Jesus, we find that we get to know God better (how God feels, thinks, and acts) and get to grow in our confidence and understanding of God’s love for us. If you’re tired of living in fear of what God and others think, choose to love. You’ll find freedom too.
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations.
LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
