Devotion of the Week: Yesterday was Groundhog Day. Maybe some of you anxiously anticipated the verdict from the groundhog, maybe it doesn't matter to you, or maybe you watched the movie. Groundhog Day derives from the Pennsylvania Dutch superstition that if a groundhog emerges from its burrow on February 2 and sees its shadow, it will retreat to its den, and winter will go on for six more weeks; if it does not see its shadow, spring will arrive early. Some hope for an early spring while others want winter to last as long as possible. Regardless of the outcome from the groundhog each year, winter will one day end and spring will arrive. Hopefully, not too many put their hope on the changing of a season due to the shadow of a groundhog! On the other hand, we can be firmly rooted in God's Word that tells us that Jesus lived a perfect life, died a horrible death, and rose victorious for each and everyone of us. Because of Christ's sacrificial death and His glorious resurrection, we are FORGIVEN and redeemed children of God. We don't have to wait to determine if we will be saved or not. We have the assurance of eternal life right now and we know we will spend the rest of our lives in perfection with our Lord and Savior! While the groundhog's shadow may seem to extend or shorten the winter months, Christ's death and resurrection guarantees our life in eternity. Thanks be to God for His grace and mercy that secures us in His loving arms, here on this earth and into eternity.

Hearts for Jesus Chapel Offerings: Jesus’ last words to his disciples in Acts 1:8 were “to the ends of the earth.” World Mission believes those words are extremely important and that is why they focus their ministry in the hard-to-reach places of the world where people have never heard of the name of Jesus.
World Mission works daily toward the fulfillment of the Great Commission. They focus their work mainly in the 10/40 Window (the rectangular area of North Africa, the Middle East, and Asia between 10-and 40-degrees north latitude) because that is where 2.9 billion people live that have never had a Gospel witness! Thank you for supporting World Mission with your chapel offerings.
