Your Father Gives Good Gifts

FIRST15
About this episode

This week we’ll start a new series, making space to simply stir up our affections for God every day.

Today, we’re going to look at the reality that our God loves to give us good gifts. May God empower us to live with open hands and an open heart, ready and willing to receive all that he longs to give.

 

Our Scripture for today comes from James 1:17, and today's worship is Gifts from God by Chris Tomlin .

--

Jesus’ invitation in Matthew 11 to find real rest is for YOU. 

 

First15’s brand-new devotional book called Rhythms was written with you in mind. 

 

Each day of this 28-day devotional invites you to break away from your normal rhythm of waking, eating, working, and sleeping to discover a spiritual rhythm that, when practiced, will lead you into a more vibrant, abundant life in every way that matters.

 

Jesus wasn’t kidding when he said you can find rest in the midst of the craziness of life. He can give it to you, and Rhythms will guide you in that direction.

 

We’d love to send you a copy to say thanks for your donation of $25 or more today.
