God’s Big Vision: his vision for your life What do you love? What dreams do you have that may be from God? Some of us are afraid to have vision for our life. Some of us have had the dreams beaten out of us. But this doesn’t change the fact that God has exciting plans […]
God’s Big Vision: his vision for your life Most of us overestimate what we can accomplish in one year and underestimate what we can accomplish over a lifetime. God has vision for each of us. He has plans and dreams for us. Daniel prayed three times a day with his windows opened toward Jerusalem. He
God’s Big Vision for You: his vision for you today If God were to speak one word to you today, one phrase or thought, what would it be? God sees you as you are now, but also as you will one day be. He sees the future you just as clearly as he sees you
God’s Big Vision for You: his presence with you today So many of us rush through our days without any thought or awareness of God’s presence with us. But the reality is that he is always with us. Perhaps God’s greatest wish for you today is simply that you are aware of his desire to
A Big Vision of God: how big is your God? Nebuchadnezzar exclaimed “who is the god who will deliver you out of my hands?” when three brave Hebrew men refused to bow and worship him. They were thrown into a fiery furnace for their disobedience to the king (and for their obedience to God). When the
A Big Vision of God: big God, big prayers When we have a stunted image of God, we tend to pray small prayers. When we have an expanded vision of God, we tend to pray bigger prayers. We know Daniel had a big vision of God by the kind of prayers he prayed. He prayed
The vision is to see everyone in WCV walk in a daily awareness and anticipation of God’s presence, and to see that awareness and reality spill out to those around them. We’ll start with a 30-day challenge: Pray 3 times a day for 30 days. When we set aside time, seek God’s heart, and get
The 30-Day Prayer Challenge is a practical application of our “Windows Open: how to pray like Daniel” series. Since we’ve been exploring prayer in the life of Daniel, we’d like to challenge all of us to make it real in our lives. It’s a call to pray three times a day for 30 days.
This Fall brings a new preaching series. We’re going to be looking at one particular aspect of Daniel’s life – his prayer life. We’ll ask together, what fuelled his walk with God? What was it that propelled him and his friends to have such confidence in God? What caused him to “open his windows to Jerusalem and
Drawing near to God: Today is the last day of our fast – tomorrow we will celebrate the resurrection of Jesus! But for today, reflect on what God has whispered to you this past week. What has he done in you? Where has he lead you? What has he given you? What has he said?
Drawing near to God: Today is the Friday that’s called Good. The day Jesus was crucified. Everyone who confesses Jesus as Lord must also “take up their cross” and follow him (Mt 16). We are to follow his lead and embrace the path he travelled. Jesus was crucified and went on to defeat death. Thankfully
Drawing near to God: Manitoba’s new tourism slogan is “Canada’s Heart… Beats.” It’s a good one. It makes me think of the drum and how it echoes God’s heartbeat. His heart beats too, and the reverberations go far beyond the borders of our Province to reach every nook and cranny of creation. It’s not an
Drawing near to God: The bible says that it is impossible to draw near to God without drawing near to others. When asked what commandment was the greatest, Jesus replied: “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind.’ This is the first and greatest
