How would you live if you knew your time was limited? Ecclesiastes 9 challenges us to give our all in everything we do, knowing that when this life ends, there’s no more work or planning. Through prayer, we connect with God’s will, seeking guidance and strength to live purposefully. The Bible also reveals that in eternity, God has greater plans for us. Let this encourage you to pray and live with intention today!

In His prayer for all believers, Jesus emphasizes the importance of unity, love, and shared fellowship. Join us this Sunday as we look at John 17:20-26 to discover how we can effectively follow Jesus together. Learn why Jesus prayed for unity, how we can reflect Christ’s love to the world, and His plan for us to personally experience God’s glory through the church. By living out these truths together, we can be a powerful testimony of God’s love.

Finding Joy in Your Work
"Whatever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for human masters, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving." - Colossians 3:23-24

We are going through the Gospel of John, and in chapter 15:18-20, Jesus says, “If the world hates you, keep in mind that it hated me first. If you belonged to the world, it would love you as its own. As it is, you do not belong to the world, but I have chosen you out of the world. That is why the world hates you. Remember what I told you: ‘A servant is not greater than his master.’ If they persecuted me, they will persecute you also." People who reject Christ will reject you if they see Christ in you. Jesus encourages his disciples and us with the explanation of why people stand against us, how the Holy Spirit is working around us, This is a comforting message for those who may suffer for living for Jesus in our godless culture and a challenging message for those who try to keep everyone happy by not talking about their faith and standing for their Biblical convictions. Whether you're facing opposition at work, school, or in your personal life, this message will provide practical insights and spiritual strength to help you stay the course.

As we explore these scriptures together, come be encouraged to understand and embrace the Holy Spirit’s transformative work in our lives. a friend or meet a new one at church. “The Holy Spirit gives liberty to the Christian, direction to the worker, discernment to the teacher, power to the Word, and fruit to faithful service” – Billy Graham
