Unity Presbyterian - Denver, NC

Pastor David uses the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from Daniel 2 to take a look at prayer - specifically, what do we do when God doesn't answer our prayers in the way we want Him to?

Jesus often went off to deserted places to rest, recharge, and reconnect with God. This week, Pastor David challenges us to find 5 minutes to spend in solitude, listening for a word from God.

We spend this time in Lent talking about ways to grow spiritually. The first way is by reading our Bible - and not just reading, but memorizing. Our first verse is:

"Man shall not live on bread alone, but on every word that comes from the mouth of God.”  -Matthew 4:4

We will memorize a new verse each week, as well as talk about other ways to grow closer to God, including spending time in solitude, praying, yielding to God's purposes, worshiping, and singing.

 

"God, who began a good work in you, will be faithful to complete it to the day Jesus Christ returns." Philippians 1:6.

There are seeds planted within the 25 verses of Paul's letter to Philemon that affect our lives today.

God meets you where you are, how you are, and makes you in to who you can be. Just look at Paul, who was the most unlikely preacher of all...

Ekklesia is the Greek word that is translated in our modern bibles as "church." However, the meaning of the word is more closely translated "gathering." What would is mean to shift our thinking of church as a building, and more closely align it to a gathering?
