“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.

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.’

May we be centered this Christmas in the person of peace, and not simply wish for the circumstances of peace!

“My sons, do not now be negligent, for the Lord has chosen you to stand in his presence, to minister to him, and to be his ministers and make offerings to him.” – 2 Chronicles 29:11

“Has not my hand made all these things, and so they came into being?” declares the Lord. “These are the ones I look on with favor: those who are humble and contrite in spirit, and who tremble at my word.” – Isaiah‬ ‭66‬:‭2‬ ‭NIV

"...for apart from me you can do nothing."  Today and this week let’s lean on Jesus to accomplish what is to be done in His name!

“So then, just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live your lives in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness.” ‭‭Colossians‬ ‭2‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NIV

“Jesus called them together and said, ‘You know that those who are regarded as rulers of the Gentiles Lord it over them, and their high officials exercise authority over them. Not so with you. Instead, whoever wants to become great among you must be your servant, and whoever wants to be first must be slave of all. For even the Son of Man did not come to be served, but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many.’” – Mark‬ ‭10‬:‭42‬-‭45‬ ‭NIV‬‬
