Thank you to
Mrs. Marie Chang-Pisano
Advisory Committee Member
for this week's prayer offering
Dear Heavenly Father,
As we anxiously await the coming of Spring. We also anticipate new beginnings, growth, and change. We praise You for Your glory, mercy, and ability to redeem every situation converting challenges into positive growth.
God’s plan for our lives includes change and growth. Some of us resist and fear anything different - even when it can be a move towards something better. Change can be hard. God gently pushes us beyond what we think we are capable of. He holds us in His hands as He guides us through the steps of change knowing that we can do it and will grow through the challenge. He brings us challenges that will guide us to become our best selves. We must trust Him and follow His loving guidance knowing that the outcome of change will be good. Therefore, we pray…
Dear Lord, help us be more resilient and open to accepting Your plan for us. We love You and know that Your plan is good and is good for us. We come to You with open minds, open hearts, and acceptance. This we pray in His name, Amen.
Listen to this song, Times of Refreshing, and let the Lord refresh you.
Times of Refreshing (listen here) by Marty Norstrom
Here in Your presence
No greater blessing
Than being with You
My soul is restored
My mind is renewed
There's no greater joy, Lord
Than being with You...

Dear Young People... (and everyone else...;)
| |

With each generation, each decade, there is change. Clothes change. Music changes. Hairstyles change. Toys change. Houses change. Cars change. Language changes. I remember back in the day (but not during my day...I'm not that old :), I would hear people say, "What it is, man?" or "What's happening, brother?" Honestly, I don't know what you young people say to each other today! :) but my point is, time brings about change. Anyone remember tape recorders and cassette tapes? Well, that's how old I am! Anyway, although these things have changed over the years, the Word of God has not! God still expects us to live by faith in Him (Luke 18:8), still expects us to love one another (John 13:34), still expects us to trust Him (Prov. 3:5-6), and still wants to save us (1st Tim. 3:4). There's more but I don't have the space to fit it all in here. Bottom line, it doesn't matter how times have changed. It doesn't matter what was considered not good then but is ok now. God's standard of living has not changed. My point? If you don't know how the Lord expects you to live, find out. Read and study your Bible. It's in there. If you don't know how to love, or forgive, or live by faith. It's in the Bible. Read it for yourself.
Calling all girls and boys ages 13-18! Come to our upcoming GirlsFOCUSED/BoysFOCUSED session scheduled for this Saturday, March 25, 2023, at 1:00 pm where you will share a meal together (pizza) with Christian adults who love God and His Word and talk with you all about it. Register above and we will see you on Saturday. Registration is closing soon, so don't delay, register today!
Thanking God for His grace and mercy as we continue to grow, expand, and move forward, in Jesus' name!
In His love and for His service,
Dr. Baker

With the debt for sin having been paid by Jesus Christ on the Cross, we now have the opportunity to life eternal. Jesus said, ...I am the way, the truth, and the life: no man cometh unto the Father, but by me (John 14 KJV). Romans 10:9 says, That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God had raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved (KJV). If you have not asked Jesus to come into your heart, do it today. Simply say,
Jesus, I acknowledge that I am a sinner. I believe in my heart that You died on the cross to save me from the debt of my sin. I confess You now as my Lord and Savior and ask You to come into my heart and change my life, in Your name I pray, amen.
If you prayed this prayer, welcome to the family of God! We rejoice with you! Let us pray with you as you begin a new life in Christ. Call or drop us a text at 1-331-308-1309, or email us at focused-ministries.org. We'd love to pray with you!
