“Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. The one who believes in me will live, even though they die; and whoever lives by believing in me will never die. Do you believe this?’” John‬ ‭11‬:‭25‬-‭26‬ ‭NIV‬

Today’s Rethink Church Photo-A-Day word is live. Reread the scripture above and focus on the word live. Do you believe this promise? Do you live your daily life in a way that reflects your belief in Christ and in your promise of everlasting life? Are you sharing the Good News so others can also have eternal life? Spend some time today praying about ways you can share with others the road to everlasting life.

Dear God, Thank You for your Son who gave His life so I can live forever. Show me opportunities today that I can share the Good News with others so they too can live forever. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

“For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God—”. Ephesians‬ ‭2‬:‭8‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Today’s Rethink Church Photo-A-Day word is give. Monday, as I traveled to Mount Pleasant towards uncertain circumstances, I prayed for God’s strength and comfort. As I glanced up at the sky I saw that the sun and clouds were creating a glimpse of a rainbow. For me it was a gift of hope to remind me of the promises of God. I was reminded of the grace and mercy God so freely gives you and me.

What do I give? What do you give? Today, look for reminders of the grace and mercy God gives you and in turn, examine ways that you can give in His name.

Dear Heavenly Giver, Thank you for the grace and mercy You continuously give me. Open my eyes to ways I can give and reflect Your love. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

“For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life.”
‭‭John‬ ‭3‬:‭16‬ ‭NIV‬‬

Love: an intense feeling of deep affection

Today’s Rethink Church Photo-A-Day word is love. Think about someone you love here on earth. In fact, think about the person or persons you love the most. The love God has for you and me is even greater. Have you shared the love of Christ with your loved ones? Do they know how much God loves them? How about your friends? Your coworkers? Be intentional today about sharing the love of Christ with someone you know.

Dear God, Thank You for loving me so much that You sent Your son to die for me. Give me the courage to share Your love with others today. In Jesus’ name, I pray. Amen.

Each Sunday, we have the opportunity to join together in the presence of Christ. What a reason to celebrate!

Today, I encourage you to join in a corporate worship service. Be aware of all that occurs, thank God for the opportunity to gather together, and celebrate!
