CrossWalk Ministry

Blessings in Christ Jesus! I had a God time witnessing on Black Friday. I walked a couple laps around the Coventry Mall and had some great conversation with shoppers. On Thanksgiving we focus on family and what we are thankful for... then Black Friday, it seemed those shoppers left Thanksgiving at the door and went chasing discount deals. Today, a dozen of us from Coventry Church of the Brethren handed out flyers to the local community to invite them to our Advent series titled "Unbelievable!!" If you're in the Coventry area and don't have a home church you should come check us out! Verse of the Day: Have nothing to do with the fruitless deeds of darkness, but rather expose them. For it is shameful even to mention what the disobedient do in secret. But everything exposed by the light becomes visible, for it is light that makes everything visible. This is why it is said: "Wake up, O sleeper, rise from the dead, and Christ will shine on you." Eph

Just as you received Christ Jesus as Lord, continue to live in him, rooted and built up in him, strengthened in the faith as you were taught, and overflowing with thankfulness. —Colossians 2:6-7

Enter [the Lord's] gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise; give thanks to him and praise his name. For the Lord is good and his love endures forever; his faithfulness continues through all generations. —Psalm 100:4-5

Let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, since as members of one body you were called to peace. And be thankful. —Colossians 3:15

I always thank God for you because of his grace given you in Christ Jesus. For in him you have been enriched in every way - in all your speaking and in all your knowledge. —1 Corinthians 1:4-5

I've been having to work long hours at the Veteran's Hospital so I haven't done street ministry in a little while. This season has been a blessing in many ways. I've been able to share Christ with the veterans and with nurses and staff. Moreover, it's challenging me to live more Christ-like because they are all watching me! Self Assessment: Is that a daily goal for you...to live more Christ-like? Verse of the Day: Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path. —Psalm 119:105

Our testimony should never be past-tense. Obviously it includes things that have happened but our relationship with God should always be growing and thriving. What can we do keep it fresh?

If serving the Lord seems undesirable to you, then choose for yourselves this day whom you will serve.... As for me and my household, we will serve the Lord. —Joshua 24:15
