Summary
In today’s devotional we wrap up our week on seeking God by looking at the act of seeking God through community. You may be a people person, or a total introvert, but either way, God wants to use his church to encourage you and draw you closer to him. The Lord loves unity in his body, and he longs for his church, his Bride to worship and seek him as one. May God open your heart and mind today to the community in which he’s placed you in this season.
Our Scripture for today comes from Hebrews 10:24-25, and today's worship is We Love Your Name (All Cry Glory) by Jaye Thomas feat. Chris Tofilon.

Podcast Wrap up Script for Craig:
“ If you need wisdom, ask our generous God, and he will give it to you. He will not rebuke you for asking.” - James 1:5
We live in a world saturated with information but yet seemingly starving for wisdom. Glory to our good God that He is a fount of wisdom and offers to pour out His beautiful truth and wisdom into our hearts whenever we ask. Jesus modeled this beautifully through his parables and teachings, both of which are included in our Wisdom devotional!
Wisdom will take you through four weeks of quality time with the Lord. Experience a fresh glimpse into the life-giving grace of God!
- How to be responsive to the presence of God in our lives
- How to fulfill our deepest longings through intimacy with God
- How to hear Jesus speak directly to our situation through his parables
- How to free ourselves of the tyranny of constant busyness by creating boundaries
And every dollar you give today goes to help more people like you experience the nearness and love of our God.
