30 Day Renewal Challenge

30 Day Renewal Challenge

Belmont Family,

In the month of May, we are asking God to renew our minds. That is a prayer that he wants to answer!  Here are the three daily steps to the challenge:  

5 Minutes–  Wake up and ask the Holy Spirit to Renew Your Mind. Do this before thinking about or doing anything else. This first week is for evaluation so pray Psalm 139:23-24 “Search Me O God”  Listen quietly to hear ways that your mind has been conformed to the world. 

2 Sentences- Keep a notepad nearby. Think about your thinking.  Write down two sentences that summarize what you became aware of during your prayer time. Add to your list everyday so you get a fuller picture of where you are with your thought life.  

1 Verse- Our memory verse for this week is Romans 8:5 Repeat this to yourself throughout the day and commit it to memory.  “Those who live according to the flesh have their minds set on what the flesh desires; but those who live in accordance with the Spirit have their minds set on what the Spirit desires.”

I hope you will commit to doing this with the church.  I think you will be surprised what God can do when you surrender to him and ask him to change you.  I’d love to pray for you this month so send me a quick email letting me know if you are taking the challenge.  

Be transformed by the renewing of your mind,

Pastor Jon

 

The Shepherd’s Staff The One Who Overcomes Shall Not Be Hurt By the Second Death

Persecution will not cease but will increase as we near the end times and the Great Tribulation.

The Shepherd’s Staff: Granted

The word “granted” may be obvious in meaning but, it is packed with incomprehensible meaning in Paul’s usage.

The Shepherd’s Staff: Devoted

Is the future of the church defined by a building or its people? What can we glean from the New Testament about this?

The Shepherd’s Staff: My Rock

With all that is going on in the early days of 2021, we need to have our perspective directed in the right place.
