While we are not all farmers, we are all barn builders of one kind or another. Today's passage asks you to examine your heart and motives, are you trusting yourself more than you trust God?

What are we to do when life is overwhelming? Turn to Jesus. Turn to the victorious Lamb. In him you will find rest for your soul and certainty in times of trouble.

Our ability to be honest and humble is the way we open the door to letting God’s mercy and renewal in into our lives.

Jesus teaches that you should pray and not give up, it will be hard to persist in prayer because we will face opposition in this world, but God is good and he hears the prayers of his people.

God’s mercy is available to all; it is beautiful, it is a true gift. If you are feeling over looked or at the end of your rope, God sees you and desires to help you. But its also important to remember that how you respond to God’s grace matters. Receiving God’s mercy requires faith, obedience and should result in worship and gratitude.

July 26, 2026 - A Life Worthy - Ephesians 4:1-16 by Valleyview Friends Church

One of the boldest prayers you can pray is to pray for other Christians, the Church, to be filled with Jesus.

Grace is God’s gift to us, paid for by Jesus, worked through us by the Holy Spirit. Grace redeems us and grace moves us forward with purpose. Grace binds us together in unity. Grace humbles us, grace blesses us. We need the gift of God’s grace.

As we reflect on 250 years as a nation it is good to remember God's call to act justly, love mercy and to walk humbly with God.

You are God’s workmanship, and through Christ you become a new creation, a masterpiece.

Prayer built on your relationship with God will be stronger than prayer built on your desires, needs and worries.

To grow and mature as a Christian and as a Church you need to know who you are in Christ.

Following Jesus is not easy, but Jesus equips every Christian with everything they need to follow Him and carry out his great commission.

When you trust Jesus he will satisfy your thirst and open the way to the Holy Spirit in your life.

Where you live matters. The way you live with relationships, the thoughts you let reside in your minds, all the stuff you fill up your life with has consequences. Psalm 1 tells us that it is best to live near God.
