Good morning! “My old self has been crucified with Christ. It is no longer I who live, but Christ lives in me. So I live in this earthly body by trusting in the Son of God, who loved me and gave himself for me. I do not treat the grace of God as meaningless. For if keeping the law could make us right with God, then there was no need for Christ to die.” Galatians 2:20-21 NLT.

Do you remember the movie finding Nemo? Do you remember the part when the seagulls gathered around saying “mine, mine, mine?Isn’t it nice to know that the Lord says that were are his – “mine”. We don’t need to walk around with a symbol on our body to be identified as his, but by accepting Jesus Christ as our Lord and Savior we are set apart – we belong to Him.

This weekend, will you allow Christ to reign supreme in your life? ________

Will you give the Lord all of you? _________

Father God, you know our hearts. You know our desire to follow you. Father, you understand our struggle with our flesh, yet you provide a way for us to walk-in a way that pleases you. Lord, we want you to live in us. Lord God, ruler over everything , penetrate our hearts and minds to allow Christ Jesus to reign supreme in our lives. Help us not to be selfish or distrustful and try to rule our own lives, help us to surrender our will to yours. Help us to display a Christ-like attitude in all our ways. Help us to trust you more each day. Lord, cover us and keep us in your perfect will. Lord God, prepare the hearts of the volunteers who will be meeting tonight to discuss the retreat.

Lord show us your presence today and throughout this weekend. In Jesus name, Amen!

Good morning! “But suppose we seek to be made right with God through faith in Christ and then we are found guilty because we have abandoned the law. Would that mean Christ has led us into sin? Absolutely not! Rather, I am a sinner if I rebuild the old system of law I already tore down. For when I tried to keep the law, it condemned me. So I died to the law—I stopped trying to meet all its requirements—so that I might live for God.” Galatians  2:17-19NLT.

While the death, burial and resurrection of Jesus offered us forgiveness of sins, it was never a mechanism for us to continue sinning.  Jesus often healed and forgave – instructing the sinner to go and sin no more. After they were healed and/or forgiven they went and told people about this Jesus who came into their life and healed them.

What sin(s) do you need to be forgiven of (e.g., jealousy, rage, adultery, unforgiveness, lies, etc.)? ________

By faith in Christ Jesus, your sins can be forgiven. It’s not too late to ask for forgiveness.

Are you ready to let him into your life? ________

Father God, you know us more intimately than anyone else. You see us in our current state. You know the day and time when we asked for forgiveness from our past mistakes and sins –  yet, you threw them deep into the ocean to be remembered no more, thank you! Lord, thank you for your willingness to love us enough to save us. You could have stretched out your hand and emptied the earth of us, yet you changed your mind and sent your son. There is no greater love. Father, as we go about the day leaning on you for strength, forgiveness, comfort, peace, healing and discernment – speak to us Lord! Lord, help us to hear you and be obedient to your word. You are our tower of strength and we worship and praise you because of who you are – Alpha Omega, Prince of Peace, Lord of Lords, King of kings, the Great I Am. Cover us today, Father. Free the captives. Protect the innocent. Expose the truth. Reconcile our nation to you. In Jesus name, amen.

Keep seeking! Keep trusting! Keep praying!

Good morning! “When I saw that they were not following the truth of the gospel message, I said to Peter in front of all the others, “Since you, a Jew by birth, have discarded the Jewish laws and are living like a Gentile, why are you now trying to make these Gentiles follow the Jewish traditions? “You and I are Jews by birth, not ‘sinners’ like the Gentiles. Yet we know that a person is made right with God by faith in Jesus Christ, not by obeying the law. And we have believed in Christ Jesus, so that we might be made right with God because of our faith in Christ, not because we have obeyed the law. For no one will ever be made right with God by obeying the law.” Galatians 2:14-16 NLT

You can be the greatest speaker, worshiper, prayer warrior, bible teacher, church attended, but without a true relationship with God you will always be missing something. However, because of our faith in Christ Jesus, God is inviting us into a relationship with him. Don’t get so distracted by rules that you forget your relationship with God.  He saw you at your worse…he knows about every detail of your life, yet he wants a relationship with you.

Our loving Father, loves you and wants a relationship with you. 

Will you let him into your heart? _______

Will you give him all of you? ________

Father God, thank you for sending your son Jesus Christ. Lord God, only you know the depths of our struggle to live a life in accordance to the law and without sin. We thank you for your provision to allow us to be reconciled to you because of our faith in Christ and not by the standards of the law. Lord, continue to reveal to us the depths of your love. Give us the strength and wisdom to follow you in spite of the distractions that want to hinder our purpose. Lord be with us as we live a life of faith, believing in Jesus Christ. Lord, when the enemy prowls around – give us discernment to steady our feet, strength to hold tight to our faith, knowledge to remember your truth and power in the name of Jesus Christ to declare victory over the situation. May your presence go before us today, giving us favor in our trials and the things we need to resolve. Help us to be a light in darkness. In Jesus name, amen!

Keep seeking! Keep trusting! Keep praying!
