- In what ways are you investing your life in God’s kingdom?
- Allow God to adjust your dreams to match His plans.
- Let Him cause uncommon results from your common deeds.
Man’s heart is like soil, capable of improvement, of bearing good fruit; it does not need to lie fallow, or be like the field of those who don’t care.
After a season of opportunity usually a storm of persecution follows. It is a test of our hearts. When trying times come, those who have no root are soon offended; they first quarrel and then quit it; first find fault with it, and then throw it off. Trials which shake some, makes others strong.
A journal that you can use every day to stay consistent in heart preparation. We are providing a reading plan that we can share together. Each day, follow this process for devotion.
It is based on the word SOAP as an easy way to remember.
– SCRIPTURE – Read the Scripture for the day
– OBSERVATION – What did you observe about the Scripture that struck you?
– APPLICATION – How can you apply your observation so that it applies to your life today?
– PRAYER – Write out a prayer to God based on what you just learned and ask him to help you apply this truth in your life.

QUOTES
Lets just cut to the chase, Jesus calls us friends.
Each of us is as close to God as we choose to be.
We are called to be loving, but we aren’t called to be right.
We don’t need to convict people. It’s the Holy Spirit’s job to convict.
- CREATED FOR CONNECTION
Read: Genesis 1:26, Genesis 2:7
- RELATIONSHIPS ARE INHERENTLY SPIRITUAL
Read: 1 John 4:7
- THE BENEFIT OF FRIENDS

PULSE OF A SERVANT
Read: Philippians 2:1-1
1-BE UNITED WITH JESUS
Our natural tendency is to be independent and self-indulgent. The only way to break out of the me-first mentality is to step into relationship with Jesus.
2- FAMILY – FORGET ABOUT ME, I LOVE YOU
How can I serve you? Let’s adopt that motto. Serving others makes us family.
3- HUMILITY IS A DISTINGUISHING MARK OF A SERVANT
– Humility is required for forgiveness
– Humility shows gratitude
– Humility opens the door for truth
– Through humility, our weaknesses becomes strengths
Continue to work out your salvation with fear and trembling. We have an opportunity to grow.
4- A COOPERATIVE SPIRIT LEADS TO PURITY
We have an opportunity to look different from the world by being united with a servants heart.
Read: Mark 10:43-45

PULSE OF OUR CITY
Jesus is the original first responder.
Four reasons why no one can condemn God’s sons and daughters (vs 33-34)
1- Jesus died for us
2- He was raised to life and is able to give life to those who trust Him
3- Jesus is alive and seated at the right hand of God, the position of power
4- Jesus is interceding for us
Paul never minimizes suffering; after all, his own life has included beatings, imprisonment, shipwrecks, assassination attempts and chronic illness. But he insists with absolute conviction that future rewards will outweigh present sufferings.
Nothing can separate us from His love.
The spirit of first responders is the spirit of Jesus. They run into danger to save souls because they bear the spirit of the ultimate savior.
They care.
They love.
They provide a bridge to life.
