"First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is proclaimed in all the world."

Romans 1:8

Paul celebrated the news of Christians within Rome spreading around the world. It was becoming common knowledge that the church of Christ was in Rome.

Beloved, what are you known for today? Does your family know that you are a follower of Christ? Do friends and coworkers see you as a person of deep faith? Let us pray that those around us will come to know us as Christians. We are part of the church and attend worship service every Sunday.

Let it be proclaimed of us that we are people of faith. We understand scripture and are quick to pray with anyone in need. May godliness and kindness be something others can easily attribute to our nature. Let us pray to this end and be intentional in living for God so that the world knows about our faith in Christ.

In Christ Alone,

When I Stumble | Feb. 4th

"He will guard the feet of his faithful ones."

1 Samuel 2:9

One of the things my children learned in martial arts was break fall. So you can properly break your fall, whether backward, side to side, or forward. The intention is to keep you safe when you fall for whatever reason and minimize injury.

It is reassuring to know that our Heavenly Father is watching over us. He is the one who keeps our feet from straying and if we stumble the Lord is willing and able to pick us up again.

If you feel that you are stumbling today or perhaps have fallen, look up to the Savior. Ask the Lord to watch over your feet and heart. The Holy Spirit will empower those who ask for help and humble themselves before the throne of grace. God will guard your feet today.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight

A Roof Overhead | Feb. 3rd

"The eternal God is your dwelling place, and underneath are the everlasting arms."

Deuteronomy 33:27

A roof over your head and a firm foundation bring a sense of security. This type of shelter serves as a haven of rest from a weary day while protecting you from the elements. When we think of our home this way, it will create a peace that comforts our body and spirit.

No shelter in life can compare to our God. Physical dwellings are not permanent and need constant upkeep. Our heavenly Father is eternal and immutable. He is the shelter that will not crumble and cannot weaken.

The Creator of heaven and earth holds us with His everlasting arms, always able to sustain us and carry us through this life. Many of the things we lean upon will soon pass away, but our God is the Almighty.

Beloved, trust the One who watches over you and holds you within His hand. God is keeping you.

In Christ Alone,

Pastor Wight
