Summary
As we end our week looking to Jesus, today we’ll explore one of my favorite aspects of his nature: his humility. Jesus, the King of all the earth, the one who has every reason to boast and show his power, chooses the path of humility, of submission, of lowering himself. We have so much to learn from this beautiful King. It is my hope that you are encouraged and challenged today. But also that your heart is burst open and flooded with worship at the beauty of our Jesus.
Our Scripture for today comes from Philippians 2:5-7, and today's worship is Prince of Heaven by Hillsong Worship.
Help people connect with God in 2022
Your gift is doubled!
Millions of people today are searching for peace. They’re searching for rest. They’re searching for something to help them find healing.
That something is a person: God himself.
And today, you can help more people connect with the God of true healing when you help expand the reach of First15 in 2022.
Thankfully, some generous friends have stepped forward with a $100,000 Matching Grant — which will DOUBLE your gift to help meet the $340,000 year-end goal and finish the year strong.
Reaching this goal in full couldn’t be more important, because every dollar given reaches one new First15 reader, listener, or viewer. And with the match, that means your $1 investment impacts two people.
Here’s just a taste of what your gift will accomplish in 2022...
- You’ll help the First15 daily devotional reach more people through our app and emails.
- You’ll be a part of producing more podcasts that draw people into a deeper relationship with God.
- You’ll help produce more printed resources and devotionals.
- You’ll help create more powerful moments of worship music.
