#ThriveYear Reading Sunday November 8

Exodus 28-29.  Instructions for the Priests. It's amazing how ministry has changed! :)

It's Sunday. Looking forward to seeing everyone in Church today (if you weren't here last night of course).  Great worship & word waiting at both campuses.  If you're not connected into a small group, or any part of Church life, please contact me so I can help you connect and grow at Church.

See you today.  Things happen in the House of God that don't happen anywhere else!

#ThriveYear Reading Saturday November 7

Exodus 25-27.  The Tabernacle...the first House of God.  An appropriate topic for the start of a weekend.

As Christians, we love the House of God.  Today, we see the beginnings of this...the first place God instructed His people to build for worship.  This is where it all began. God's House may look much different today (thankfully), you can get a sense through today's reading that building the House of God is something the people of God do naturally.  It is our purpose...our mission...our worship.

It's the weekend!  Consider who you'll bring to Church this weekend.  We have an incredible message waiting on "Armor: Don't Leave Home Without It."  See you there!

#ThriveYear Reading Friday November 6

Exodus 22-24.  God's Law...and His covenant confirmed.

Today's reading is an incredible demonstration of direction by God...through His law, an angel, and His covenant.  You get the sense that God really cares about all aspects of our lives.  We're not living this life on our own.  We have an incredible Father in heaven who wants the best for us.

Walk with God's supernatural direction today.  Ask God what He wants for you today...He might just tell you!

#ThriveYear Reading Thursday November 5

Exodus 19-21.  Mount Sinai...Ten Commandments. 

It doesn't get much more epic than today's reading. The foundation of God's law...our first instructions for living.  We begin to see the first glimpse of God's plan for our lives...and ultimately, how we can never be perfect on our own.  This is the beginning of the way made for Jesus to come.

Great people have great habits.  I hope that THRIVE Year is helping you develop a new, healthy habit of reading God's Word regularly.  It's our foundation in living for God.  Enjoy the day!

#ThriveYear Reading Wednesday November 4

Exodus 16-18.  Supernatural provision in the desert, and a leadership lesson from Jethro. 

It's Wednesday...and that means tonight holds an incredible Anthem252 service at the Tacoma Campus.  Make it out tonight, to get some great worship & Word. New month...new teaching topics...new people to meet.  We're pumped.   

Remember, God is your provider.  Trust him for all you need today.

#ThriveYear Reading Tuesday November 3

Exodus 13-15.  Crossing the Red Sea...one of the great signs of God's power.

It's THRIVE Tuesday.  If you're not a part of a CLG, I hope you'll make it out to one of the campuses tonight for a great groups night.  In Tacoma, we're starting a new time of praise & worship on campus...that promises to be awesome. 

I apologize that our blog hasn't updated in the past couple of days.  It looks like I have the problem fixed, and you should be back to receiving daily updates for THRIVE Year.  

Have an incredible day...walk in God's Power!

THRIVE YEAR - November 2-8


Hello Thrive Year participants! We're into a new month, and I'm excited about where the reading plan is taking us...starting with Exodus.  This is no doubt one of the GREAT stories of the Bible, so enjoy reading it.  Soak up the power of God.  It's an incredible faith builder.

I'm thoroughly enjoying reading this together. But I do want to encourage you to not just stop here, with your involvement in the community of the Church. I want to encourage you to take the step to join or host a small group at Church, as it is the best place to discuss and put God's Word into practice.


Here is this week's reading:

Monday, November 2 --- Exodus 10-12

Tuesday, November 3 --- Exodus 13-15
Wednesday, November 4 --- Exodus 16-18
Thursday, November 5 --- Exodus 19-21
Friday, November 6 --- Exodus 22-24
Saturday, November 7 --- Exodus 25-27
Sunday, November 8 --- Exodus 28-29

Daily updates will continue this week.  And continue to let us know how we can improve this blog and site for your reading...we're here to serve.

Have an awesome week!
