Todays person we talk about went from empty to totally filled in a very short time. Be encouraged.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

What a wonderful week we had here. First of all the weather was beautiful almost the whole week. Second I love how when you build and live community you get invited to things from friends in your community. This week we had invitations for dinner, a fundraiser and a wedding. Having community is a blessing. Think about how you can start community where you are!! If you need some tips on how, follow love your neighbor on Instagram  or Facebook

And 2 more things at the end about the video: Where do you set your hope to fill an emptiness in your life, often subconsciously? Ask Jesus to come into this place and let him truly fill you!

This week it’s about a table that needs to be filled. Be challenged! P.S. the Psalm passage I was referring to is Psalm 68.6 or 7 (depending on the translation)

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

Every week I am part of a prayer meeting where we come together on zoom to pray. We pray for different needs of people like health, things related to church, for our city and the leaders and worldwide things going on. It is so important for believers to come together and pray together for things going on local as well as other places. We want to encourage you to join a local prayer meeting and pray together with fellow believers in your area!

And don’t forget to think and pray this week about who is lonely in your circle and who you can invite for the Christmas season! Make a list and then invite!!

This week is about fear and trust. Be encouraged.

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

One late afternoon I decided to go for a quick walk around the block to just get a few steps in. Just by doing that I ran into multiple neighbor friends and some strangers. I got into good conversations with all of them and I don’t even know how an hour went by and I just walked one lap. Its amazing how easily to get into conversation and connect with people. The blue angles doing their airshow over the city was a great conversation starter. We want to encourage you to also walk around your area and connect with the people there. Start a conversation with a simple topic that is relevant right now (besides politics since that can be very divisive). Watch how your connections and relationships in the neighborhood grow just by doing something simple like this.

And 2 more things at the end about the video: 1. Pray and ask yourself where you have subconsciously allowed fear into your life and made decisions out of fear. 2. Give this fear to God and express your trust in Him in a completely new way no matter what circumstance!

This weeks video blog is about righteousness. Be inspired and encouraged!

Hi our friend

We hope you had a wonderful week!!

We love our church in San Francisco and have been part of it for 16 years. Last Sunday our church celebrated the 40^th anniversary. Its amazing to see how God used it to empower, encourage and build up people for a long time. Even with many moves, challenging times, pastor changes and other circumstances the church kept going. I want to encourage you with that to be perseverant. Keep going in the things God called you to do and don’t give up in times of challenge.

And 2 more things at the end about the video: 1. Read Romans 4 and 5 and let God encourage you through them. 2. Let us ask God to show us where we still try to prove ourselves instead of leaning into his grace!

God bless you
