Matthew 22:1-5

Clear communication is a goal that we pursue but do not always achieve. Some inhibiting factors are incorrect reception, muddled messages, misunderstanding, false assumptions, poor body language, allowing our emotions to interfere, and not listening to what the other person is saying. It’s important to remind ourselves of the practice of effective verbal and non-verbal communication, especially as it relates to a healthy marriage.

This plan is to encourage people that there is still power when we speak the name of Jesus over people. He can heal the parts of them they think are impossible. He still heals people physically. He still heals marriages. He still breaks addictions. He still frees people from anxiety and depression. There is still power in His name. Speak the name of Jesus.

Much of the Bible describes events around food. At least three times a day, we pause for food. Food has to be grown, bought, prepared and presented. It comes at a cost, but there can be a strong sense of fellowship around each step of that process.

The Bible compares life in God’s presence with an abundant feast. And you are invited! This reading plan explores several Bible passages about this joyful theme.
