The question we want to ask you, both today and in the coming weeks, is this:
In your life, what are the things that you need, perhaps desperately, that deep down, you know only God can deliver in you, for you, and through you?
Things like:
We invite you to prepare for Resurrection Sunday - Easter - with the expectation of Resurrection Power…IN YOUR OWN LIFE! Cards will be available each week for you to ask God in your prayer life, allowing our staff to pray over those requests with you.
But please, remember that this is about your intimate relationship with God when we ask, “What is it that you need that only He can fulfill?"
God encourages you to approach Him with boldness and faith—so don’t hesitate to ask for what you truly need!
"O LORD, you have examined my heart and know everything about me. You know when I sit down or stand up. You know my thoughts even when I'm far away. You see me when I travel and when I rest at home. You know everything I do." (Psalm 139:1-3 NLT)
"Give all your worries and cares to God, for he cares about you." (1 Peter 5:7 NLT)
God doesn't merely tolerate our concerns—He treasures them because He treasures us.
"For I am about to do something new. See, I have already begun! Do you not see it?" (Isaiah 43:19 NLT)
"So let us come boldly to the throne of our gracious God. There we will receive his mercy, and we will find grace to help us when we need it most." (Hebrews 4:16 NLT)
What if love isn’t something you fall into, but a foundation you build?
"If I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, but do not have love, I have
become a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal." —1 Corinthians 13:1 (NASB95)
The Love You Can’t Fake is the Love Only God Can Form.
"Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant." —1 Corinthians 13:4 (NASB95)
"Love is patient, love is kind, it is not jealous; love does not brag, it is not arrogant. It does not act disgracefully, it does not seek its own benefit; it is not provoked, does not keep an account of a wrong suffered," —1 Corinthians 13:4-5 (NASB95)
God’s love isn’t soft — it’s strong. It chooses sacrifice over comfort and action over apathy.
"Love never fails; but if there are gifts of prophecy, they will be done away with; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be done away with." —1 Corinthians 13:8 (NASB95)
"But now faith, hope, and love remain, these three; but the greatest of these is love." —1 Corinthians 13:13 (NASB95)
You’ll be remembered for how you loved — not what you owned.
People won’t remember your inbox — they’ll remember how you made them feel
"We love because He first loved us." —1 John 4:19 (NASB95)
You can’t fake God’s kind of love — but when you surrender to it, it will form you, free you, and flow through you.
