This is at least the 10th anniversary (we can’t say for sure when we started) of beginning the year with a focus on prayer. The first 3 weeks of the year are an engine that drives all 52 weeks, and a spark that gives fire to prayer as our only hope every day. This year we’re focusing on praying for 3 things, 1 per week:

• January 8-14 The next generation and our AKids ministry

• January 15-21 A brand new Arrowhead Church in another town nearby

• January 22-28 Our future on the campus of the Morristown congregation

You can find 21 days resources here, or pick up a card on Sunday January 8 (today) at church. Plan to fast once per week for 24 hours with us!

We are grounded in God’s truth. And we are free in that truth and by his Spirit. These days the phrase “your life is in the Word” can’t escape my mind. When Jesus said in Matthew 4 that we live by every word that comes from the mouth of God, He gave us a glimpse of what real life might be. I want to find it, and I believe we’ll find more together this month! As you begin to read Scripture according to our reading plan, you’ll find accounts of his teaching in Matthew, accounts of the works of the Holy Spirt in Acts, words to worship by in Psalms, and the creating power of God in Genesis. Join in.
