God Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.
THANK. Write down 3-5 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. Our Scripture Focus is Ephesians 2:19-22. Try memorizing it this week!
Today’s reading is from John 15:1-8 (Going Deeper: Matthew 22:36-38)
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Mike…
Congratulations!!! If you are reading this it means you made a decision to take time out of your day to be alone with Jesus. This is a BIG DEAL! Connecting with him on a personal level is the most important thing you will do today, and every day. Please go reread Jesus’ words in John 15. (seriously, do it now) I don’t know about you, but I want to be a strong branch, bearing amazing fruit. I need to be connecting/abiding with Jesus, through intentional, scheduled time like this, but also inviting him into my thoughts and decisions throughout the day. If Jesus can become the most important relationship in our lives, all other relationships will be blessed through us, and we will thrive! Thanks for making the time today. Keep it up!
An invitation: If you’ve made the decision to follow Jesus, and you have not yet been baptized, maybe now is the time. Baptism is a public declaration of your faith. A beautiful expression of love for God that Jesus himself participated in. Click HERE to learn more and sign up for our next baptism service.
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?
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a lifegroup/church friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations. Pick one each day or pray through them all every day.
SHARE. Stay focused with a friend! Invite them to text “FOCUS” to (586) 200-6277.

Stay focused on Jesus today, and make it a great one!
