2. Be the hope.
3. You are not alone.
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.
Amplify Your Day
Today’s episode of Evening Devotionals is by author and pastor Magrey deVega. Pastor deVega helps us think about the characters Elisha and Elijah. Read chapters 17-19 of 1 Kings and prepare your heart for an uplifting word to our community of faith.
