How to wake up your community
November 22, 2019
BIBLE MEDITATION:
And above all things, have fervent charity among yourselves: for charity shall cover the multitude of sins. 1 Peter 4:8
DEVOTIONAL THOUGHT:
Why is love so important?
- First, because it is the greatest virtue. Love supersedes faith and hope (1 Corinthians 13:13).
- Second, because it is the greatest command. Jesus said, “Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind” (Matthew 22:37).
- Third, love is the greatest testimony. What is really going to make your community wake up and believe that your church is really the church of the Lord Jesus Christ? The size of your building? The way your lawn looks? The signage at the street? No. The way you love God and show love to others.
ACTION POINT:
Nothing can motivate a lost sinner like the heartfelt love of Jesus Christ.

Front Porch Moments by Gayle Foster
WITH KEY INSIGHTS FROM HER FATHER, ADRIAN ROGERS
I try to unplug each morning with Jesus with just my rocking chair, my Bible, and a pen.
Having a secret place is very important because I know that Jesus is always there waiting for me. I know where I can find Him! His presence is everywhere, but there are places where it is so thick you can cut it with a knife. You may not even have a front porch, but there is a secret place for you as well. God’s invitations are for anyone who will respond. There is no more important request than the one found in Psalm 27:8: “My heart has heard You say, ‘Come and talk with Me.’ And my heart responds, ‘Lord, I am coming.’”
