Words From Multi-Ministry Director
Pastor Bruce's message, "The Lord's Other Prayer" comes from Mark 1:29-39. "Then He healed who were sick with various diseases, and cast out many demons; and He did not allow the demons to speak, because they knew Him. Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed." Mark 1:34-35

Food for thought...Every day we are faced with countless opportunities to serve God and follow His Son. And every day we make a choice - to obey or disobey. When we disobey, we are living outside God's Word; distancing ourselves from Him hardens our hearts and forfeits the peace we seek in our lives. You shall walk after the LORD your God and fear Him, and keep His commandments and obey His voice; you shall serve Him and hold fast to Him." Deuteronomy 13:4 Remember, each day is another opportunity to choose obedience. Hold fast to Him...
In His love,
Joni
