On the visions of our church, focusing on faith, hope and love, how they compare to myrrh, frankincense, and gold, and our attitude going into the holidays.
Celebration of Answered Prayers

Several months ago, we were going through the following Scripture at church…
James 4:2-4
“You want something but don’t get it. You kill and covet, but you cannot have what you want. You quarrel and fight. You do not have, because you do not ask God. When you ask, you do not receive, because you ask with wrong motives, that you may spend what you get on your pleasures.”
At the time, there were areas we were wanting to grow and had been stagnant. I spent a little time praying over what areas we should want change and the motives behind them and then introduced some new prayer times in our Sunday morning gatherings. Each week we started praying over four areas to grow in…… people, resources, spiritual depth, and influence in our community.

We are blessed to be hosting one of the Lifeline of Ohio representatives, Lauren Fitting, one of the traveling Lifeline Quilts, and hearing the testimony of a Marion area resident, Jim Eckard who is a liver recipient.
However, before I spend time promoting a church event, let me explain the heart behind why this matters to us. Take a moment and look at some of the information from the Lifeline of Ohio web-site (www.lifelieofohio.com)
Support these Initatives!

Normally I don’t use my blog for church announcements but I wanted to utilize this tool for these great events going on. I also wanted to open the door for some others to get involved!
