Welcome; we are very glad you are here.

                             

             Thought for the Day

         Do you finish what you start, or can you see half-finished books and projects when you look around? Every year, millions of Americans quit their jobs, drop out of college, or abandon their New Year's resolutions by February. Look around your own home: maybe it’s the unfinished book, a home renovation project that remains incomplete, or the exercise equipment acting as a clothes rack.  We are masters at starting things but often struggle with finishing them. 

     In stark contrast, Jesus came to earth with a divine determination to finish what He started. Long before creation, He had a perfect plan with a beginning, middle and end. In His prayer to the Father in John 17:4, Jesus declared with confidence, "I have glorified thee on the earth: I have finished the work which thou gavest me to do." Jesus knew His purpose wasn't just to teach or heal, but to complete the work of redemption. He lived a perfect life, died in our place, and rose in triumph. His mission was comprehensive from start to finish. Your spiritual journey didn't end with a prayer you prayed years ago or a card you filled out at church. That was just the starting line!  God is still writing your story, and He's committed to completing the good work He began in you.

     Do you feel like you’ve stalled spiritually? God wants to reconnect with you when you are in each area; even if you feel like it has stalled. Find an accountability partner to help you stay the course and take one step toward progress today. 

     You may not finish everything you start in life, but your walk with Christ doesn’t have to be among the unfinished. There's too much He wants to do in you and through you. After all: He who began a good work in you will carry it on to completion!

          "Verse of the Month" Contest.

      Can you find our verse of the month?     Every week, we will reveal a word or a phrase that is a part of one special verse in the Bible (KJV or NKJV).   Those who find all the clues and guess the correct verse will receive a gift.     But every person will have only one guess, and your wrong guess will disqualify you; so wait until you get more clues and you are absolutely sure.    

     We appreciate all of you who spend time in God's Word.   

    The final clue for the month of April is: "Offer."  There are four clues for this month's verse.    (when you are sure, send your answers to gmbc1610@gmail.com)

    And; Good Luck.
