21 Days of Prayer: Day 17jumainejones459375541_a378ef5ab3

In 2 Chronicles 6:13-17, Solomon says a prayer of dedication for the new temple.  Prayers of dedication are reminders for us to surrender all of life to God.  Solomon reflects on God’s faithfulness and character.  God was faithful to keep His covenant with Israel.  God’s lovingkindness was steadfast throughout their history.  This is the same […]

Nehemiah 1:4 shows the connection between vision and prayer.  Whenever I am burdened about something, my initial reaction is to do something about it in my own strength.  I begin counting my resources to see if I have what it takes to pull it off.  Once I realize my resources are limited, I become discouraged.  […]

Yesterday morning, a group of us from The Bridge did a prayer walk in Downtown Silver Spring.  It was encouraging to see so many individuals ready to pray at 8:00am.  As we walked the streets of Silver Spring and DC, this Scripture came to mind.  1 Chronicles 4:9 – Now Jabez called on the God […]

One things for sure, we all go through difficulty in life.  Life is filled with ups and downs.  It is filled with good times and bad times.  There are moments of celebration and moments of mourning.  Here is the good news.  We serve a High Priest who sympathizes with our weaknesses.  Jesus was tempted with […]

1 Thessalonians 1:1-10 introduces to the three key virtues that sparked a spiritual renewal in Thessalonica.  They were the virtues that helped shaped the Church of Thessalonica into a model church: faith, hope, and love.  At The Bridge, we say “Love God (faith). Love Others (love). Make a Difference (hope).”  Regardless of the terminology we […]

Most of us have been in environments where we’ve shared prayer requests.  Not only do we share ours, but people also share their requests.  Very rarely have I heard someone request the things Paul prayed for the Ephesian church in Ephesians 1:16-21.  He prayed that they may have a spirit of wisdom and revelation.  He […]

The Bible is full of similes and comparisons..  Psalm 1 compares the righteous to the wicked.  Those that are righteous are like trees planted by water.  They are fruitful and flourish.  The wicked are like chaff.  Instead of being rooted, they are driven away by the wind.  Instead of flourishing, they are like dust.  The […]

I love Psalm 119.  If you want to get a greater appreciation for God’s Word, read Psalm 119.  I remember the first time I read vs. 9.  As a single man at the time, it immediately became my key verse for moral purity. “How can a young man keep his way pure? By keeping it […]

I just realize that today’s Scripture for our 21 Days of Prayer happen to be the same one I’m teaching on today.  I don’t think this was planned.  In John 14:16-17, God promised to send the disciples another parakletos.  The Spirit would be to the disciples all Jesus had been to them: a teacher, comforter, […]

Philippians 4:6-7 has become one of my favorite passages of Scripture over the years.  So much of our life is centered around wanting something.  In a life where desires are constant, we often become anxious as we eagerly hope that God would grant us the things we desire.  This passage is a reminder that God […]
