AUGUST 25 – ASK

8/25 John 14:12-13
12 “The truth is, anyone who believes in me will do the same works I have done, and even greater works, because I am going to be with the Father. 13 You can ask for anything in my name, and I will do it, because the work of the Son brings glory to the Father.

AUGUST 24 – BELIEVE

8/24 John 14:8-11
8 Philip said, “Lord, show us the Father and we will be satisfied.” 9 Jesus replied, “Philip, don’t you even yet know who I am, even after all the time I have been with you? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father! So why are you asking to see him? 10 Don’t you believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words I say are not my own, but my Father who lives in me does his work through me. 11 Just believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me. Or at least believe because of what you have seen me do.
BELIEVE
We see as through a glass darkly but by faith we believe that we will one day stand with the risen Lord Jesus. He is our Savior. He forgives our sin and makes us righteous.

AUGUST 22 – ONLY WAY

8/22 John 14:5-6
5 “No, we don’t know, Lord,” Thomas said. “We haven’t any idea where you are going, so how can we know the way?” 6 Jesus told him, “I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one can come to the Father except through me.

AUGUST 19 – CALL

8/19 Acts 17:30-34
30 God overlooked people’s former ignorance about these things, but now he commands everyone everywhere to turn away from idols and turn to him. 31 For he has set a day for judging the world with justice by the man he has appointed, and he proved to everyone who this is by raising him from the dead.” 32 When they heard Paul speak of the resurrection of a person who had been dead, some laughed, but others said, “We want to hear more about this later.” 33 That ended Paul’s discussion with them, 34 but some joined him and became believers. Among them were Dionysius, a member of the Council, a woman named Damaris, and others.
CALL
When we are faithful to share what the Lord is doing in our life the Holy Spirit will impact those who are open to the claims of Christ. Proclaim the Gospel everywhere you go and to everyone you meet. Let the Lord call those who are open to His Good News and you remain faithful to your work. We share and the Lord calls.

AUGUST 18 – ALL

8/18 Acts 17:28-29
28 For in him we live and move and exist. As one of your own poets says, ‘We are his offspring.’ 29 And since this is true, we shouldn’t think of God as an idol designed by craftsmen from gold or silver or stone.
ALL
Christ is all. He is everything we need to lead a Christ centered life. We don’t have to go anywhere else. Jesus is God’s everything.

AUGUST 17 – NEAR

8/17 Acts 17:24-27
24 “He is the God who made the world and everything in it. Since he is Lord of heaven and earth, he doesn’t live in man-made temples, 25 and human hands can’t serve his needs — for he has no needs. He himself gives life and breath to everything, and he satisfies every need there is. 26 From one man he created all the nations throughout the whole earth. He decided beforehand which should rise and fall, and he determined their boundaries. 27 “His purpose in all of this was that the nations should seek after God and perhaps feel their way toward him and find him — though he is not far from any one of us.
NEAR
The Lord is near and will never desert us. He is our Savior. He is our righteousness. In Jesus we have access to the Father. Christ sent us

AUGUST 16 – GOD

8/16 Acts 17:22-23
22 So Paul, standing before the Council, addressed them as follows: “Men of Athens, I notice that you are very religious, 23 for as I was walking along I saw your many altars. And one of them had this inscription on it — ‘To an Unknown God.’ You have been worshiping him without knowing who he is, and now I wish to tell you about him.
GOD
We know God because Jesus has revealed Him to us. He is the exact image of the Father and enables us to know Him. Jesus is Lord and He seeks to engage us in His capacity as Savior. He sought us out. He holds us forever. Jesus is Lord of all.
