Thoughts From This Week's Leader

For the Week of April 27, 2026

For the Week of April 27, 2026

Have you drawn closer to our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ during the Easter season?  May the unfolding of spring remind us of the freshness and renewal God pours out in the physical world. Let this encourage us as to what is possible in our lives when we  trust in God and follow his ways.

Praise

Praise

Isaiah 61:11  
For as the soil makes the sprout come up and a garden causes seeds to grow, so the  Sovereign Lord will make righteousness and praise spring up before all nations.  

Psalms 119:171  
May my lips overflow with praise, for you teach me your decrees.  

Ephesians 1:3,7
3 Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us in the  heavenly realms with every spiritual blessing in Christ.    

7 In him we have redemption through his blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance  with the riches of God’s grace  8 that he lavished on us.


Lament

Lament

Heavenly Father, we lament allowing our heart to be troubled and not putting our trust in you. Too often we ‘weep and morn’ and then seek solutions through our own power rather than seeking your wisdom and your way.

Lamentations 1:18
The Lord is righteous, yet I rebelled against his command. Listen, all you peoples; look  on my suffering.


Lamentations 3:40
Let us examine our ways and test them, and let us return to the Lord.

Psalms 55:17
Evening, morning and noon I cry out in distress, and he hears my voice.

John 16:20
Very truly I tell you, you will weep and mourn while the world rejoices. You will grieve,  but your grief will turn to joy.


Prayers for Our World

Prayers for Our World

Lord, as you bore our sins and healed us through your death on the cross and gave us  new life through your resurrection, guide us away from our sinful nature and toward  living in your holy ways.

1 Peter 2:24
“He himself bore our sins” in his body on the cross, so that we might die to  sins and live for righteousness; “by his wounds you have been healed.”

2 Chronicles 7:14
If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek  my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive  their sin and will heal their land.

Hope

Hope

Jeremiah 29:11  
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans to prosper you and not to  harm you, plans to give you hope and a future.  

Romans 15:13  

May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace as you trust in him, so that you may  overflow with hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.  

1 Peter 1:3  
Praise be to the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! In his great mercy he has  given us new birth into a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the  dead…
