Once Jesus was buried in the tomb, great efforts were made to ensure it’s security. Many of those who had rejected Him feared the disciples would steal the body in order to fake His resurrection. However, inspite of the added security, an angel from Heaven descended amid a great earthquake and rolled the stone away. Upon immediate investigation, all who were at the tomb that day found it to be empty. This discovery produced belief in some, and yet others held fast to their unbelief while knowing Jesus had in fact risen from the dead.

Prayer: Forgive Us Our Debts
December 18, 2022
Jesus calls us to pray for forgiveness for our debts as we forgive others. When we seek the Lord for this wonderful grace, our hearts are cleansed, relationships restored, and our worship purified. Jesus also calls us to forgive others who have sinned against us. He even promises that it will be impossible to live the abundant Christian life while holding on to unforgiveness. Do you need to seek the Lord for his forgiveness? Are you holding somebody hostage in unforgiveness?
Prayer: Our Daily Bread
December 11, 2022
Jesus encouraged His disciples to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread.” God has promised to sustain His people as they walk in His purpose for their lives. Throughout the Scripture we see God provide the physical bread for food, the soul nourishing bread from heaven and the eternal bread of life found only through faith in Jesus. This daily bread is essential to our spiritual life and we must be in constant prayer for The Lord’s “daily bread.”
