Happy Thanksgiving

We're thankful for your prayers, encouragement, and financial support!

 #thankful
Whatever happens, conduct yourselves in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ. Then, whether I come and see you or only hear about you in my absence, I will know that you stand firm in one spirit, contending as one man for the faith of the gospel without being frightened in any way by those who oppose you. This is a sign to them that they will be destroyed, but that you will be saved — and that by God.
— Philippians 1:27-28

Thoughts on Today's Verse...

Let's live as if we've been redeemed because we have been! Let's show God's love and character in our daily lives. Let's especially work together, with one voice and Spirit, making a vigorous effort to share the Gospel with those who have never heard of the grace of God in the life and ministry of Jesus. In the face of opposition, let's not be deterred or divided. Instead, let's work hand in hand for the cause of the Gospel as we live for God and give thanks for his amazing grace!
The Verse of the Day team is thankful for you! See the full greeting!

My Prayer...

O Lord, please give us greater unity of purpose and greater courage in the face of opposition so that we can show the world that we are your children and Jesus' disciples. May our thanksgiving for your grace show up in the way we live among others, especially those who need to know Jesus, our Savior. We pray this in his name. Amen.
