Light Reflection-Philippians 2:13 God’s Good Purpose

May 26th, 2023 No comments

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Light Reflection is from Philippians 2:13.

“For it is God who works in you to will and to act in order to fulfill his good purpose.”

The Gospel highlights God’s good purpose for our lives. After we come to faith in Jesus, we begin to wrestle with the question “What is God’s will for my life?” “Where is my place to serve Him?”

The good news is that we are not left alone to figure things out by ourselves. God promises to be with us. His Holy Spirit is available to guide us. His Word is available to help us grow in His grace and prepare for our mission. His love becomes the compelling force for our lives, driving us to be a voice of good news in a world that is looking for hope.

This Light Reflection inspires us to cooperate with God’s will and carry out His good purpose in the Year to Shine.

Faith Building Verses-Ephesians 3:20 and 21

January 10th, 2022 No comments

JOHN SHIRK – Today’s Faith-Building Verses are Ephesians 3:20 and 21.

“Now to him who is able to do immeasurably more than all we ask or imagine, according to his power that is at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, for ever and ever! Amen.”

God’s power is at work in the world today through hearts that believe the Gospel. Jesus was able to feed at least 5,000 people with five loaves and two fish that were offered to him. His power is not just in the physical realm, but also the spiritual realm. All over the world, this gospel is bearing fruit. We might not know the impact of our skills and resources on the kingdom of God. But as we commit what we have to Jesus, we can count on Him to multiply our offerings with His blessing.

These faith-building verses inspire us to stay connected to Jesus and see His power work beyond imagination in the Year of Relationship.
