Do you want deeper, more meaningful friendships? What if the key isn't about finding the right people—but being the right kind of friend?In this powerful message, Pastor Mark explores God's original call to Abraham in Genesis 12:2–3: “I will bless you… and you will be a blessing.” From the very beginning, God's plan has been to use ordinary people to share extraordinary love—and the best friendships are built by those who live to bless others.
Sam continues the Gifts of the Spirit series by emphasizing that all spiritual gifts (except for the gift of tongues) are meant to build up and bless others in the body of Christ. He explained that the gift of tongues serves to deepen our personal and intimate relationship with God through private prayer. All of these gifts are exercised not by our own strength, but through the empowering presence of the Holy Spirit.

How do we help people without enabling them? How do we help without hurting? These are tricky questions and often we find ourselves being either cynical to people or gullible. While there is not a “formula” to this, there is a key: we need to stay sensitive to the Holy Spirit. God's heart is for the poor, and He wants us to have an ear that is turned toward the needs of people. But at the same time, we need to have an ear that is turned heavenward and listening to the Him and how He wants to meet the need.Do you desire to have God's heart for the needy in your life? Do you want to see people the way that He sees them? God is no respecter of persons - His heart is the same for all people! We need to recognize that the ground is level at the foot of the cross - the reality is that we are all poor and needy! When we see God's heart of love for us, we are then able to be a channel of that love and kindness to others.Want to go deeper in studying this command of Christ?

Where is your focus? Is it on yourself, your dreams, and your goals? If we're not recognizing the needs of those around us, it's usually because we're focused on ourselves. We miss out on participating with God and how He wants to touch others when our attention is consumed with ourselves. We need to ask God to cleanse us from a fleshly self-focus so we can be available to meet the needs of those He wants to reach through us.Do you desire to have God's heart for the needy in your life?

In this episode, we delve into the actionable side of generosity, inspired by the example Paul set and the words of Jesus as recorded in Acts 20:35. We'll explore various practical ways to express generosity, showing that giving extends far beyond financial contributions.Our springboard for today's discussion is: Acts 20:35: "In everything I did, I showed you that by this kind of hard work we must help the weak, remembering the words the Lord Jesus himself said: ‘It is more blessed to give than to receive.'" This scripture reminds us of the holistic approach to giving that encompasses time, resources, and care.Generosity is a hallmark of the Christian faith, reflecting our understanding of how much we've been given through Christ. Today, we'll break down practical steps to embody this trait in everyday life, ensuring that our actions consistently reflect our values.Broadening the Scope of Generosity:* Beyond Financial Giving: While tithes and offerings are important, generosity also includes volunteering time, sharing skills, and offering emotional and social support to those around us.* Supporting the Weak and Needy: True generosity seeks out those who are most vulnerable—whether financially, emotionally, or spiritually—and looks for ways to uplift and support them.Practical Ways to Live Generously:* Regular Volunteering: Commit to regular hours at local shelters, food banks, or community centers. Regularity, rather than occasional volunteering, makes a deeper impact.* Skill Sharing: Offer your professional skills to those who can benefit from them, such as free tutoring, legal advice, or medical support.* Random Acts of Kindness: Simple acts like paying for someone's groceries, mowing a neighbor's lawn, or delivering a meal to a sick friend can all be expressions of generosity.* Support Ministries and Charities: Identify and commit to supporting ministries or charities that resonate with your spiritual values and beliefs.Making Generosity a Lifestyle:* Plan and Budget for Giving: Just like you budget for other expenses, set aside resources for charitable giving. This could be money, but also consider allocations of time.* Incorporate Giving into Family Life: Teach children the importance of generosity through family projects, like assembling care packages or participating in community clean-ups.* Encourage in Community: Share your journey of generosity with your church or community group to encourage others and potentially coordinate efforts for greater impact.ConclusionGenerosity is not merely an act but a lifestyle that mirrors the generosity God shows us daily. By integrating these practical steps into our lives, we can ensure that our generosity is not sporadic but a consistent and fulfilling aspect of our Christian walk.A Question of the Day: What is one area of your life where you can start being more generous starting today?Growth Challenge: Choose one aspect of generosity discussed today and implement it over the next month. Keep a journal of your experiences and reflections on how these acts of generosity affect both you and those you serve.Let's Pray: Heavenly Father, thank You for Your boundless generosity toward us. Help us to reflect Your love through our actions every day. Guide us to see opportunities for generosity and give us the courage to act on them, spreading Your love and kindness in a world in great need. Amen.As you move forward, remember that every act of giving is a reflection of God's love. Let's embrace the blessedness of giving and make generosity a defining feature of our lives.

Do you ever find yourself having an attitude of superiority toward those who you perceive to be “less than” you? In order to approach those in need around us with the right attitude we need to realize that we were (and still are) “the poor.” We need to see that God Himself “brought in the poor” - that He saw our need and had compassion on us. When we see ourselves as needy and dependent on the Lord, we will then have an attitude of compassion and empathy toward others.Do you desire to have God's heart for the needy in your life? Do you want to see people the way that He sees them? God is no respecter of persons - His heart is the same for all people! We need to recognize that the ground is level at the foot of the cross - the reality is that we are all poor and needy!

There is a tendency in all of us to exalt ourselves - to seek the recognition and attention of other people. As we dig into the context of this new command, we will see that Jesus cuts right to the heart and exposes this pride in all of us. God's desire is that we would humble ourselves before Him, that we would be willing to take the “low place” before people, and that we would be content to live for His smile alone.

When we make giving a priority, God's grace overflows in our life.
Psalm 134 is the fifteenth and last psalm of the "Songs of Ascents" or what is also called the “Pilgrim Psalms”. The psalm closes the collection with a benediction and leads into a series of psalms that emphasize praising the Lord. It is interesting to note that when the pilgrim began his journey to Jerusalem, the first prayer of this section of psalms, Psalm 120, indicates that he was at a low point spiritually. “In my distress I cried to the LORD… Woe is me….” (vv. 1, 5). But now, in Psalm 130, having completed his time of worship and cleansing at the place of worship in Jerusalem, he loudly proclaims, “Bless the LORD”! A wonderful change has taken place in his life! We notice several great encouragements from this psalm. First, we have a God Who never sleeps (v. 1). As you review these fifteen psalms, you see that the pilgrims had a variety of experiences on their journey, but they arrived safely in the Holy City, fulfilled their obligations, and were now preparing to return home. It was night and they wanted to make one last visit to the temple. Directed by the high priest, the temple priests and Levites were responsible to make sure everything was in order for the next day's ministry. The pilgrims heard a temple choir singing the praises of Jehovah, and their ministry would continue all night. Pagan temples were silent at night, because their gods had to rest (1 Kings 18:27), but "He who keeps you will not slumber. Behold, He who keeps Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep" (Psalm 121:3-4). The Lord gives sleep to His beloved people, but He stays awake and guards the city and watches over the family (Ps. 127:1-2). He also hears the praises of His people. "The LORD that made heaven and earth" (v. 3), also made the day and the night (Gen. 1:14-19), and “the darkness and the light are both alike to Him” (Ps. 139:11-12). When we go to sleep, we know that the Father is caring for us, and when we awaken, He is there to greet us (Ps. 91:1-6). If we awaken in the night, we can fellowship with Him and meditate on His Word (Ps. 119:55, 62, 147-148). If God never slumbers nor sleeps, why should we stay awake all night, tossing and turning and fretting? "Be still, and know that I am God" (Ps. 46:10). Next, we have worship that never ends (v. 2). David arranged that the temple choirs praise the Lord day and night (Ps. 92:1-2; 1 Chron. 9:33; 23:30). While you and I are asleep in our part of the world, somewhere else on the globe, believers are worshiping God. Even more, Jesus Christ, our High Priest in heaven never ceases to intercede for us and enables us to pray and to worship. God gives us "songs in the night" (Ps. 42:8; 77:6; Job 35:10; Isa. 30:29), when circumstances are difficult and we cannot see our way. The greatest responsibility and highest privilege of individual believers and of churches is to worship God, for everything that we are and do flows out of worship. As the choir in the temple lifted their hands to heaven (see on 28:2), they were pointing to the Source of all good things and praising Him for His mercy and grace. True worshipers lift "clean hands and a pure heart" to the Lord (Ps. 24:4; James 4:8), for the Lord looks on the heart. We will worship God for all eternity (Rev. 4-5), so we had better start learning now. Finally we should realize we are blessed to be a blessing to others (v. 3). As the pilgrims left the temple, a priest on duty called, "May the Lord bless you from Zion". The pronoun "you" is singular, for the blessing of God is for each of us personally. To leave God's house with God's blessing upon us is a great privilege, but it is also a great responsibility, for we must share that blessing with others. If it is a joy to receive a blessing, it is an even greater joy to be a blessing. If the LORD who made the heaven and the earth never sleeps, and our worship never ends, then the blessing will not stop. God bless!

Blessing others is not always that hard of a task. We often think we have to give money or take people places in order to be a blessing to them. While that is being a blessing to others that is not the only way. There are ways you can bless others very practically in your daily life. Join us in this weeks devotion to see how.
Roots: God's Desire to Use Us to Bless Others In today's episode, Rachael shares about how we can allow Jesus to heal the broken and hurting spaces in our lives: Jesus can reach into those broken and hurting places to make them new if we let Him. We all have broken and hurting spaces in our lives. Although our tendency is to keep them hidden, He is the God who redeems and restores.

Saturday is review day on The Daily Promise. Every Saturday, we review the promises of the week so we can allow them to go deep into our hearts and lives. Here are the promises we covered this week. Matthew 10:42 – Blessings Come to Those who Bless Others. Psalm 31:19 - God Stores up Goodness and Blessings for You Isaiah 9:6 – God's Promise of Christmas. John 1:14 – God Came and Lived Among Us. Luke 1:38 - I Am a Servant of the Lord.
May the God of Wonders Bless You!
Today's Promise: Matthew 10:42 The Kingdom of God often works the opposite of the world and our thinking. Jesus has just finished dropping a list of things His followers should do. All are contrary to the way we would normally act. Jesus commands His followers to be generous givers. We are to be conduits of His blessings. When God blesses us, we pass those blessings along to others. When you give to a friend in need, God notices. Jesus said that even a cup of water given in His name would not be overlooked. God blesses those who bless others.
Do you feel a desire to share your faith but worry about coming across as pushy or insincere? I get it. When I go into a relationship with the motive to evangelize, it can be hard to feel genuine. That's why I want to share some practical ways with you to engage others naturally, without any hint of proselytizing. In today's episode, I delve into the distinction between true evangelization and proselytism, drawing insights from Pope Francis. Together, we'll explore the BLESS method – a practical acronym designed to help us engage with others in a way that feels authentic. And here's a reassuring reminder: none of this is about success. Our Heavenly Father loves you just for trying, just for joining your heart to His, which longs for the return of the lost sheep. Here's what you'll take away: * The Distinction Between Evangelization and Proselytism: Understand the difference between true evangelization, driven by love and witness, and proselytism, characterized by manipulation and self-gain. * The BLESS Method: Discover a practical approach to engage with others naturally through prayer, active listening, shared meals, serving, and sharing your faith. * The Joy of Trying: Learn how being present in people's lives, actively listening, and serving their needs create opportunities for genuine and meaningful connections, setting the stage for sharing your faith. For more on this topic, check out: * Pope Francis on Proselytism (https://www.catholic.com/magazine/online-edition/pope-francis-on-proselytism) * BLESS Resource (https://covchurch.org/make-and-deepen-disciples/intentional-evangelism/bless-resources/) For more practical advice and experiences from real people sharing their mission with the world, go to https://equip.archomaha.org/podcast/.

Blessing others with our gifts is an amazing way to show someone love. It can be anything from a simple act of kindess such as a compliment to a more significant gesture such as donating to a charity or volunteering at a local shelter. Katie and Mandy have guest Sarah Gillis on for a rich discussion about what a life of serving can look like, and how to start a legacy of serving as a family. They talk about how to find ways to serve that align with our natural giftings. Sarah grew up watching her mother volunteer and it grew a strong internal desire to serve with her family and a hope to instill the heart of a servant in her children.
