Disciples were first called Christians at Antioch. Many believe that the word “Christian” is a label to describe an ideology or set of beliefs similar to a political label. Others believe “Christian” is in reference to a culture or upbringing that has shaped a person’s life and experience. However, the only real Christians are those who have been miraculously transformed by a work of the Holy Spirit. There are several marks of a true Christian. Is your life marked by such things?

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.”
