Amplify Your Faith: Evening Devotionals
Pastor Joanie Joy is the bloom in the midst of rubble.
Pastor Matt Rawle
During this time while we are still mostly apart, we encourage you to engage in devotion and Bible study with us on a more regular basis. We will be doing this together, but separately using our new online church resource – Amplify Media. Three to four times a week,
- We will include a link to devotional video from Amplify Media
- Click the link to open the video with your free Amply Media account courtesy of Hood Memorial Christian Church (instructions below if you still need to set up your account)
- We will also include 2-3 questions that we invite you to reflect upon after watching the video.
- Feel free to share your thoughts with one another. You can even text or e-mail your thoughts to Pastors Jason & Joanie.
- Each Friday on our church-wide noon Prayer Call, we will reflect on the videos together and share our thoughts and insights.
Even though physical space separates us, we can continue our journey of faith together in a new way. We pray that our entire church family will watch these devotions and Bible messages each week. Let’s Amplify our faith together even when we are at home!
Amplify Your Day
We begin with a video series called Evening Devotionals. The first video is from Pastor and Author Matt Rawle. Pastor Matt focuses his thoughts around Jeremiah 29-32. If you have time, read those few chapters and prepare your heart for an uplifting word to our community of faith.

Questions for Reflection:
- How does your faith show up in your daily life?
- What things, people, events, activities, etc. are worth investing in?
- What steals your joy? and How is joy blooming in your life?
**Amplify media has a huge library of resources. If this particular video did not speak to you, feel free to explore the website and find something that reaches your heart. Please share what you have found with Jason, Joanie, or Ryan. We would love to hear from you.
