Prayer Wednesday

May all who seek you rejoice
And be glad in you;
May those who long for your
Saving help always say,
“The LORD is great!”

But as for me, I am poor and needy;
Come quickly to me, O God.
You are my help and my deliverer;
LORD, do not delay.

We know all the right answers:

  • “God is good all the time; all the time, God is good!”
  • “Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.”
  • “For the Spirit God gave us does not make us timid, but gives us power, love and self-discipline.”
  • “May all who seek you rejoice and be glad….”

All right answers and true, yet sometimes things feel different:

  • “I am poor and needy.”

That’s also true and honest.

You may be out in front of the marching band these days—it’s all sunshine and blue skies in your part of the world. Or you may be a bit beat up, or even desperate.

The LORD of all heaven and earth is our help and our deliverer. “Call to me in the day of trouble,” He says (Ps. 50). He is never far from the wounded and brokenhearted.

LORD do not delay!

Leaning into His arms with you this day.

Andrew

Baptism

May 25, 2025
Luke 3:1-20 - The first mention of baptism in the Bible begins with John. John was the cousin of Jesus and also His opening act. John called the people of his day to "Get Ready." The public sign of a life getting ready for God was, and still is, baptism. Get washed so God can do what God wants to do.

Revelation 21:1-8 - Jesus wins; Jesus has already won; stay faithful to Jesus! This is the message of John’s sometimes confusing book of Revelation. It is full of encouragement and hope for disciples. Jesus, the Lamb, is on the throne. And he is preparing a future for us that includes heaven and so much more!

Acts 21:37–22:22 - Acts 21 finds Paul in Jerusalem, at the Temple, getting beaten for his faith in Jesus. In a wild turn of events, Paul had the opportunity to talk to those who wanted to kill him. What do you say to people who want you dead? Paul told his story—a story of his own self-righteous zeal, of Jesus meeting him in an unmistakable way, and of a kind believer who stood with him. What a great testimony!

Acts 13:16-44 -Paul and Barnabas made their way through the known world, telling everyone they met about Jesus and the Resurrection. In one synagogue, Paul told the Jews their history, but he told it differently than they’d heard it before. He showed how God had often given Israel a second chance. He went on to explain that Jesus was their second, and final, chance. Some of their listeners believed; others hated the message. Nobody likes being told they’re wrong.

Acts 3:1-21 - Now what? The story of Acts is what happens after the death and resurrection of Jesus. God takes ordinary people, fills them with His Spirit, and sends them out into the world. It's a crazy idea! Peter and John transform an everyday visit to the Temple into a medical miracle and preach a compelling message to boot. Hundreds of people come to trust Jesus. Just another day of walking in the Spirit.

John 20:24-29 - All through his ministry, Jesus took time to speak with individuals. Even after the resurrection, he never changed course. John records an interaction with Thomas that speaks to doubt and the struggle it is for each of us to believe.
