Grand Evening Prayer-Monday, December 23rd, 2024

Dearest Heavenly Father, we love our children as You do; please teach us to help them understand Your love and promise of salvation. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Grand Evening Inspiration-Monday, December 23rd, 2024

Christian education is crucial as it brings our children to know the Lord. We will be careful when we teach our little ones about Jesus and take responsibility for the knowledge we pass along. We will be an example of the love of Christ in our words and actions so they will hear the truth and seek salvation in Jesus' name. We will continue to mentor our children as they develop their relationship with the Lord.

Grand Evening Verse-Monday, December 23rd, 2024

“But whoso shall offend one of these little ones which believe in me, it were better for him that a millstone were hanged about his neck, and that he were drowned in the depth of the sea.”

Matthew 18:6 KJV

A PRAYER OF THANKS FOR GOOD NEWS

God, thank You that Your good news is for everyone! The message of Jesus' coming is for everyone. You love me and You invite me to have a relationship with You. Thank You for sending Jesus to make a way for me to have a relationship with You and thank You for telling shepherds first. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

Devotional-You Version-Monday, December 23rd, 2024

GOOD NEWS FOR EVERYONE

Picture, for a moment, a normal day of your life. Everything is pretty typical-nothing out of the ordinary. Then, imagine that out of nowhere, light shines down all around you. It's so bright and warm, you can't see anything except ... an angel? An angel is talking to you!

That's exactly what happened to a group of shepherds near Bethlehem the night Jesus was born. And here's what the angel said:

"Do not be afraid. I bring you good news that will cause great joy for all the people."
(Luke 2:10)

It's no surprise the angel opens with, "Don't be afraid." The shepherds whom the angel appeared to must have been terrified! How startling to be in the middle of a normal day taking care of your flock and have something so unexpected happen! And not only unexpected-something that absolutely changed the course of history.

Devotion Prayer-Monday, December 23rd, 2024
By: David Jacobs

Dearest Father, patient shepherd, help me tend my spiritual plant. My fruit is ready, ripe, but I know that I must continue to care for it with You as my guide. I pray that You send me to Your Scriptures, with enthusiasm and diligence, to learn the ways of Your Son, whose blood was shed so that I may live with You, together in heaven. In Jesus' Name, Amen.

YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT

Have you ever been hungry and seen what looked like a delicious piece of fruit only to take a bite and...eww! Even good-looking fruit can sometimes taste bad, and fruit that has not been taken care of well will be rotten. I think you can probably see where I am going with this metaphor!

We are the fruits of our labor. The effort that we put into our faith journey is what we will get out. If you didn't study for a test at all or, better yet, studied a book filled with all the wrong answers, you wouldn't expect to do very well. The same is true of life.

YOU WILL KNOW THEM BY THEIR FRUIT

“Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles?”
“Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit.”
“A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.”
“Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire.”
“Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.”

Matthew 7:16-20 KJV

Verse of the Day for Monday, December 23, 2024

Grand Rising Inspiration-Monday, December 23rd, 2024

We lose our footing as massive waves of life knock us down. Thankfully, god has the power to calm the restless sea and restore peace and steady ground. He sees rough water on the horizon before we do and prepares our hearts for future disturbances. We turn to Him for guidance, instruction, and wisdom as we encounter challenges in our everyday lives. We are proud to serve a loving, devoted Heavenly Father who loves us deeply.

Grand Rising Verse-Monday, December 23rd, 2024

“He maketh the storm a calm, so that the waves thereof are still.”
