Our series is Means of Grace. In it, we will be exploring spiritual practices that help us grow in discipleship. The first of these is “A Heart of Prayer” and looks at the way we pray. What is prayer supposed to be for us? How should we pray? Is there a wrong way to pray? What should we expect from our prayers? As we explore how we interact with God, we grow in faith and love.

Our scripture reading for today comes from Deuteronomy 6:4-9, James 5:13-18, and Matthew 6:5-14.

As we begin These 40 Days, our series for Lent, we begin with “Pass the Test.” The story of Jesus being tempted paints a picture of his to pass the test of or own faith. But what should we learn from it? Do we ever put God to the test? How do we use our time? Do we use it wisely? Let these 40 days be a time of preparation and revelation.

Our scripture readings come from Romans 10:8b-13 and Luke 4:1-13.

This week’s message in The Word in Song is “Shine” inspired by the song from Collective Soul. We are called to avoid quarrels and arguments that are senseless. Do we correct in gentleness? Do we seek guidance on how to love? Do we seek the light to shine upon us? How do we use our experience to help each other grow? Find inspiration anywhere and everywhere, and hear the Word in song!

Our scripture reading comes from 2 Timothy 2:22-26.

The musical inspiration comes from Collective Soul’s “Shine.”
