COT: Reviewed Colossians 1:3-8 synopsis of Grateful Prayers for a Godly Church. A grateful church should always demonstrate genuine faith, hope & love. One quote that stuck with us is that we should be grateful when the gospel is bearing fruit all over the world. “If there’s no fruit, there’s a problem with the root.”

COT:
Remembering the story of Abraham and Issac in Genesis 22. Recognizing that God calls us into hard things to test our faith, but is with us intimately in those trials. God himself offered up his only son just as he asked Abraham to do, and Jesus willingly went and did actually die. The Lord knows us more intimately than any human ever could hope too, and therefore in hard times we can lean on Him and remember that he truly knows our suffering.

Hebrews 4:12-16
[14] Therefore, since we have a great high priest who has ascended into heaven, Jesus the Son of God, let us hold firmly to the faith we profess. [15] For we do not have a high priest who is unable to empathize with our weaknesses, but we have one who has been tempted in every way, just as we are—yet he did not sin. [16] Let us then approach God’s throne of grace with confidence, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us in our time of need.
