10,000 Reasons, 1500 Pieces, One Vision
Stewardship Prayer
Loving God, I come to you in thanksgiving, knowing that all I am and all that I have is a gift from you. During this month of study and prayer, help me to see with Your greater vision. Help me to understand the 10,000 reasons for our Church to move forward in ministry and mission to our community. By Your Spirit, grant me such faith to believe that You are at work in our church family and that You will work through all of us to touch the lives both inside of our church and outside in our community. Grant me today the wisdom and insight to understand your will for me and what I may do to bless Your name in my own life. I offer my gifts of time, talent and possessions to you as a true act of faith, to reflect my love for you and my neighbor. Help me to reach out to others as you, my God, have reached out to me. Amen.
The Word
Matthew 7:24-29
“Everyone then who hears these words of mine and acts on them will be like a wise man who built his house on rock. The rain fell, the floods came, and the winds blew and beat on that house, but it did not fall, because it had been founded on rock. And everyone who hears these words of mine and does not act on them will be like a foolish man who built his house on sand. The rain fell, and the floods came, and the winds blew and beat against that house, and it fell—and great was its fall!”
Now when Jesus had finished saying these things, the crowds were astounded at his teaching, for he taught them as one having authority, and not as their scribes.
