Throughout Scripture we see countless examples of God meeting with man and countless lives being transformed as the result. These examples are in Scripture to stir our faith and fill us with a desire to meet with our Creator. When we read about the life of David, we should be filled with a longing to live as he did, centered around meeting with our heavenly Father. When we read about Gideon or Moses, we should long to know our God as they did. When we read about Jesus coming down to us or his heart for the woman caught in adultery, we should respond by pursuing encounters with our Savior. And when we read of Pentecost and Jesus' second coming, we should seek out the fullness of God's presence available to us on this earth in preparation for the age that is to come. May your heart be filled with a wholehearted desire to pursue meeting with God this week. Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 84:1-2, and today's worship is No Other God by Steph Macleod. – Changed Lives = A Changed Culture. This is what our First15 Summer Initiative is all about! First15 has just launched a $216,584 Summer Initiative with the goal of connecting more people to God. And today your gift can be DOUBLED up to a total of $20,000!

It's a byproduct of time spent experiencing the faithfulness of our God. It's a gift given to us by the Giver of good gifts, himself. It was a supernatural faith that allowed Paul to sing even while in chains. It was supernatural faith that allowed Peter to proclaim the gospel, even unto death. And it's supernatural faith that will carry you to and through the greatest gospel opportunities in front of you. We pray our printed devotionals, Faith and Trust, help people like you experience the life changing reality that faith and trust have on your everyday life. With Faith you'll: Discover a Biblical framework for living faithfully Study powerful moments of God's faithfulness in scripture Tear down personal strongholds in your life where you struggle with faith Develop a lifestyle of faith, that weathers the storms of life And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God. Everything changes when we learn to trust and become filled with faith in our good, good God. Get your copy at supportfirst15.org!
Opening Song: No Other God by Steph Macleod (https://open.spotify.com/track/670uY91jVrMGQtK7Fj619U?si=341da58c69954192) Lyrics: No other God can judge The weight of sin that dwells in us And yet amid His grace His blood declares my guilt erased What is this love This ancient hope You come to me With righteous robes Clothing me in Your salvation No other God I know Would ever aim to bow so low That He would make a way To rise again in victory What is this love This ancient hope You come to me With righteous robes Clothing me in Your salvation You see my pain You hear my doubts And in the place You fix Your crown Adorning me with Your salvation I lift my eyes My head held high I know that I will fear no evil You call my name I rise again Your mercy bought my heart's revival Passage: 16 Thus says the LORD, who makes a way in the sea, a path in the mighty waters, 17 who brings forth chariot and horse, army and warrior; they lie down, they cannot rise, they are extinguished, quenched like a wick: 18 “Remember not the former things, nor consider the things of old. 19 Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert. 20 The wild beasts will honor me, the jackals and the ostriches, for I give water in the wilderness, rivers in the desert, to give drink to my chosen people, 21 the people whom I formed for myself that they might declare my praise. (Isaiah 43:16–21 ESV) Musical Reflection: “Be Thou My Vision,” old Irish folk tune Reflection Notes: The hymn commonly known as “Be Thou My Vision” is set to the tune SLANE, which is an old Irish folk tune. It samples both major and minor tonalities, with a perfect balance between the two. Prayer: This is another day, O Lord. I know not what it will bring forth, but make me ready, Lord, for whatever it may be. If I am to stand up, help me to stand bravely. If I am to sit still, help me to sit quietly. If I am to lie low, help me to do it patiently. And if I am to do nothing, let me do it gallantly. Make these words more than words, and give me the Spirit of Jesus. Amen.

Amazing Grace/He is Lord by Steph Macleod
Opening Song: O Perfect Father by Steph Macleod Lyrics: O Perfect Father on Heaven's throne Who gave my orphan heart a home Treasured and destined before all time Forever claimed by Your love divine What wondrous kindness shown to me To know that I'm eternally A chosen child of God above The perfect Father with perfect love You never fail me You never leave You will provide my every need Joyful or burdened I seek Your face O Father You never turn away Your presence is my perfect peace No other place I long to be A chosen child of God above The perfect Father with perfect love Whom shall I fear in the days to come You are the great Almighty One Formed in Your image I bear Your name Yet in Your heart still my heart remains My silent prayer You always hear You cradle every secret tear A chosen child of God above The perfect Father with perfect love Father my Father who reigns on High Your sovereign name be glorified Lead me through life with great words of truth My passion Father to worship You What joy to serve You all my days I live to follow and obey A chosen child of God above The perfect Father with perfect love What joy to follow all my days I live to follow and obey A chosen child of God above The perfect Father with perfect love Passage: 1 Long ago, at many times and in many ways, God spoke to our fathers by the prophets, 2 but in these last days he has spoken to us by his Son, whom he appointed the heir of all things, through whom also he created the world. 3 He is the radiance of the glory of God and the exact imprint of his nature, and he upholds the universe by the word of his power. After making purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on high, 4 having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs. 5 For it was not to angels that God subjected the world to come, of which we are speaking. 6 It has been testified somewhere, “What is man, that you are mindful of him, or the son of man, that you care for him? 7 You made him for a little while lower than the angels; you have crowned him with glory and honor, 8 putting everything in subjection under his feet.” Now in putting everything in subjection to him, he left nothing outside his control. At present, we do not yet see everything in subjection to him. 9 But we see him who for a little while was made lower than the angels, namely Jesus, crowned with glory and honor because of the suffering of death, so that by the grace of God he might taste death for everyone. 10 For it was fitting that he, for whom and by whom all things exist, in bringing many sons to glory, should make the founder of their salvation perfect through suffering. 11 For he who sanctifies and those who are sanctified all have one source. That is why he is not ashamed to call them brothers, 12 saying, “I will tell of your name to my brothers; in the midst of the congregation I will sing your praise.” (Hebrews 1:1–4; 2:5–12) Musical Reflection: Bless the Lord, My Soul by Jacques Berthier Reflection Notes: Another contribution to the Taizé tradition, this tune by Berthier provides a reverent foundation for the text: “Bless the Lord, my soul, and bless God's holy name. Bless the Lord, my soul, who leads me into life.” Prayer: O God, who desires not the death but the repentance of sinners, we beseech you, in your loving kindness, to turn your people to yourself; that when they devote themselves to you, you may remove the scourges of your anger; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Part of Issue 4, Jonny and Leeza are joined by Steph Macleod, a former alcoholic and drug addict who Jesus met when he was at rock bottom. Steph retells his redemptive story of how small emotional deficiencies turned into full-on addiction and homelessness, before Jesus revealed himself to him through the faithful witness of an Edinburgh charity. But what happened next? Did becoming a Christian mean Steph never touched a drink again? What did the road to recovery look like? What would he say to someone under the iron first of addiction? Join Jonny, Leeza and Steph for more of this amazing story of God's grace. https://heirsmagazine.com/substance-abuse
As we explore the simplicity of love this week, today we’ll look at how God’s love has redeemed us. There is an amazing Brennan Manning quote that says, “In loving me, you made me lovable.” And that is basically the concept we’ll be unpacking today. God’s love has come in and given us meaning, beauty, redemption, and purpose. It is through God loving us that we become sons and daughters; we become saints. I hope today you’ll open your heart up to this life-changing love, and never be the same again. Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 130:7, and today's worship is O Perfect Father by Steph Macleod. Check out our Worship for the Weekday playlist on Spotify! ________ First15 Worship is here! As believers, we want a real connection with God every day, not just on Sunday. We want the peace and passion that comes from living with God, not for God. But when Monday morning rolls around we’re left thinking: “Now what?” “How do I find and keep a daily connection with my Creator on my own?” At First15, we know that meaningful worship isn’t just for Sunday. Every believer should be able to find a daily connection to God with fresh worship created specifically for their weekday. _____ First15 is a daily devotional written and recorded by Craig Denison. If you would like to learn more about the First15 app, books, blogs, videos and our other resources, please visit first15.org. You can always reach out to us on our contact page on the website.

In this in-depth interview, the Scottish singer-songwriter and worship leader Steph Macleod speaks to Premier Christianity's Sam Hailes about overcoming drug and alcohol dependency. Steph was homeless when he found Christ, but that decision to surrender everything to Jesus marked an important turning point in his life story. That's not to say the singer gives the impression that his life is all rosy. Far from it. Steph says he's still "in recovery", and when asked how Covid-19 has affected him, he replies "It's been a really tough year." Others have called him open and honest, but Steph says he needs to be real in order to survive. Alongside writing worship songs, he's also a mental health advocate. In opening up about his struggles, Steph says he's always mindful of the support of his friends, family and church community in helping him stay sober. The pair also discuss Steph's new single, 'No Other God', which is out now, and discuss how the digital world is allowing the singer - along with the wider Celtic Worship community - to reach audiences all over the world.
