Our time on earth is short, that is a universal problem… Therefore, we must focus on things that are eternal. Psalm 49 equips us with practical wisdom for living and dealing with even the things that we cannot control.

In Psalms 114 and 115 David teaches us how to live a life of integrity. Integrity, honor, and genuine sacrificial love are not necessarily the same as depicted in our culture and media, but are critical to a relationship with God. Integrity may cost us worldly friends and opportunities, but are worth the cost to build a closer walk with God.
Pastor Rick continues with the second devotion in the book of Job as Job and his friends struggle to find a reason for suffering. We learn that God has a plan, is always in control, and is with Job all through his tribulation. God has a plan for us, too, and he is always with when we suffer. When we come through sufferint, we gain a deeper understanding of God, learn that our wisdom is primitive, and that we need to repent.
God is in charge and he never promised us an easy life. But if you are born-again, god loves you and he helps you through the trials and troubles of life.
What is Communion? It is an ordinance for all Christians to regularly come together in unity to memorialize the death of Jesus Christ until He returns. The bread is symbolic of the body of Jesus Christ, and the fruit of the vine is symbolic of Jesus’ shed blood.
