Summary

Today we continue our weeklong focus on being a child of God, by looking at how God guides us throughout our life.

All of us long for, a need a guide through this life. In this journey, there are so many twists and turns, so many unknowns, so many roads we can take, we need a good, omniscient, and omnipotent guide to help us know which way to go.

May you sense the leadership of your loving Father today as we create space to receive his guidance.

Our Scripture for today comes from Psalm 32:8-9, and today's worship is Give Me Your Peace by Gateway Worship.

Message From Craig:

We're launching a summer initiative partnering with generous donors like you to rapidly guide more believers to the presence of God through First15. And I need your help.

I ask you to prayerfully consider what you are able to give today to help us reach more people with First15. For every $1 you can give today, we can bring a real person into consistent connection with God. That’s a real person spending time daily in worship, reading, and prayer. That’s a real person going into their day with love to give, because they’ve met with Love himself.

And, if you give today, a generous donor has stepped forward with a $30,000 match, to DOUBLE every dollar you’re able to give! Thank you for your continued generosity and prayers. We cannot do this without you.

Craig Denison - Author & Founder, First15
