“Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is honorable, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is commendable, if there is any excellence, if there is anything worthy of praise, think about these things.” – Philippians 4:8 ESV

Thank you for your many years of sharing the Gospel of Jesus Christ and your ministry of loving and caring for God’s people. Thank you for dedication and service to pastors and their families as Region Director with PastorCare. We miss you and pray for comfort for your family in their grief.

“Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you. For everyone who asks receives, and the one who seeks finds, and to the one who knocks it will be opened.” – Matthew 7:7-8 ESV

Among other things that Paul asked prayer for - this one stands out - "that I may proclaim clearly (the mystery of Christ)" Receive these prayer points and begin to see how God will be glorified in what you do! 

Keep me focused on You, Lord! Keep my heart tuned to Your heart as I walk the path of steadfastness that You, Lord, have laid out for me as I follow your Word and its instruction.

“Now to him who is able to do far more abundantly than all that we ask or think, according to the power at work within us, to him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus throughout all generations, forever and ever.” Amen. Ephesians 3:20-21 ESV

I desire to operate daily with you. "Keep falsehood and lies far from me; give me neither poverty nor riches, but give me only my daily bread." I desire to know, live in, and give away the truth. You are my provision and cornerstone.

Matthew 5:13-16 KJV You glorify God by being what God has declared you to be.  You are salt that makes stuff taste better and last longer.  You are the light that always shows others the way!

William Carey – “Expect great things from God, attempt great things for God!” I wonder this morning what it is that we’re expecting and attempting that’s bigger than we are? I reminded someone this week the only reason the widow’s oil ended was because of the number of pots that she gathered. Maybe we’re not gathering enough pots!

This first Sunday of 2026, are we ready?   Eccl. 3:1. ‘To everything there is a season and a time to every purpose under heaven.’
