GETTING OUR HEARTS AND MINDS PREPARED...

  

We are gearing up for another GREAT IMPACT mission trip week July 6-13th! 

PLEASE KEEP OUR TRIP PREPARATIONS IN YOUR PRAYERS!  A special thanks to our Prayer Pals who will be with us spiritually each step of our journey!

 To prepare our hearts for our devotions...Use this scripture from Luke...this will be at the heart of our worship while on the trip~

“Why do you call me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ and do not do what I say?   As for everyone who comes to me and hears my words and puts them into practice, I will show you what they are like.   They are like a man building a house, who dug down deep and laid the foundation on rock. When a flood came, the torrent struck that house but could not shake it, because it was well built. But the one who hears my words and does not put them into practice is like a man who built a house on the ground without a foundation. The moment the torrent struck that house, it collapsed and its destruction was complete.”    Luke 6:46-49

Additional scripture to prepare for our week...

1 Corinthians 3:11  For no one can lay any foundation other than the one already laid, which is Jesus Christ

James 1:12  Blessed is the one who perseveres under trial because, having stood the test, that person will receive the crown of life that the Lord has promised to those who love him

 Romans 5:3-4  But that’s not all! We gladly suffer,[a] because we know that suffering helps us to endure. And endurance builds character, which gives us a hope

Matthew 23:25-28   You Pharisees and teachers are show-offs, and you’re in for trouble! You wash the outside of your cups and dishes, while inside there is nothing but greed and selfishness.  You blind Pharisee! First clean the inside of a cup, and then the outside will also be clean.

You Pharisees and teachers are in for trouble! You’re nothing but show-offs. You’re like tombs that have been whitewashed.[a] On the outside they are beautiful, but inside they are full of bones and filth.  That’s what you are like. Outside you look good, but inside you are evil and only pretend to be good
