Summary
As we near the end of our weeklong focus on being children of the most high God, we’re going to take time today to create space to discover and receive the blessings of our Father.
Our God is good, and loves to bless us in countless, wonderful ways.
May we taste and see God’s goodness today as we open our hands and hearts to receive the gifts of his love.
Our Scripture for today comes from James 1:17, and today's worship is Faithful Like The Dawn by Bryan McCleery.

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.
