Sýndesi: MSM In-Reach

11/18/2025

Syndesi showed OUT this weekend! 💛✨ Our Candle Making + Friendsgiving Fellowship was the perfect mix of creativity, good vibes, family, and fellowship. From the moment everyone walked in, the room was filled with laughter, colorful wax, and the sweet aroma of community.

We had kiddos, adults, aunties, uncles, and even grandparents diving into the candle-making fun; choosing scents, mixing colors, and creating candles as unique as each person in the room. And just like Syndesi always does… we connected, we encouraged, and we enjoyed being together.

Huge shoutout to everyone who came, stirred, poured, and fellowshipped with us. Nights like these are what Syndesi is all about — building bonds, strengthening our church family, and creating memories that shine long after the candles cool. ✨

If this is what Friendsgiving looks like with Syndesi… just wait until the next one. 👀🔥
We’re only getting started!

Saturday we had an amazing night of ministry and fellowship doing our prayer boards!

2 Chronicles 7:14 : “ Then if my people who are called by my name will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sins and restore their land”

There is something powerful about coming together and praying on each others behalf!

" 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us. 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body." 2 Corinthians 4: 7-10 ESV

Good morning,
I want to give a synopsis of a study I recently did and shared with some friends in Dallas. In this life have and will probably always experience things that have the opportunity to create cracks or breaks in us that have the opportunity to break you if you don't see or handle them correctly. The thought I shared with them is that when we entrust our brokenness to the God who knows us better than we know ourselves we are allowing Him to make beauty from brokenness. I refer to the photo below as a visual of what it looks like when God heals our hurt:

My encouragement to you is this what we deem broken God sees value. One of the things mentioned by my friend is this; there's more value to the remade pottery bed of the gold than when it was first created. There's more value to your story when you let God reimagine it for His glory.

Where ever you are, whatever you're going through; give it to God and let Him turn your broken into beautiful.

Happy Monday!

“In hope he believed against hope, that he should become the father of many nations, as he had been told, “So shall your offspring be.” He did not weaken in faith when he considered his own body, which was as good as dead (since he was about a hundred years old), or when he considered the barrenness of Sarah’s womb. No unbelief made him waver concerning the promise of God, but he grew strong in his faith as he gave glory to God, fully convinced that God was able to do what he had promised. That is why his faith was “counted to him as righteousness.””
‭‭Romans‬ ‭4‬:‭18‬-‭22‬ ‭ESV‬‬

“And he said to me, “Son of man, can these bones live?” And I answered, “O Lord God, you know.””
‭‭Ezekiel‬ ‭37‬:‭3‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Good morning! Question for reflection:

Are you fully convinced in what God can and will do in your life or the lives of those connected to you?

The two passages scripture pulled for today's devotion have a similarity in common; trusting God to do something they had never seen done before. For Abram (aka Abraham) it was believing that a promise of a child through Sarah would come to pass at their old age. For Ezekiel, it was seen dead driving things no signs of life to become alive again.

There are situations in our lives in our nation, in our world that we believe are dead and dry... barren and to the human eye have no hope... but we serve a God who called life into their things, calls life into dead things/situations. And just a word from Him can be revived to the fullest; but we have to be fully convinced that He will do it.

Miracles, signs, and wonders happen where expectation lives.

Be fully convinced and expected to see God

Happy Wednesday!

“Show yourself in all respects to be a model of good works, and in your teaching show integrity, dignity, and sound speech that cannot be condemned, so that an opponent may be put to shame, having nothing evil to say about us.”
‭‭Titus‬ ‭2‬:‭7‬-‭8‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Good morning,
From time to time I like to bring a thought or a question that has come from a different study group. I've mentioned before that the Bible study group in Dallas is studying Romans, and since we just finished Romans ourselves, I thought it would be a good conversation starter to bring one of the conversation questions they had had to our group for further introspection, and create a dialogue between everyone in the group. With that being said, I'm going to encourage you to go read Romans 2 in its entirety, focusing on verses 17 through 24, and think on these two questions throughout your day.

If you were going to disciple a new believer of the faith, whatelements of your life would need to change for their sake?

How would your current lifestyle affect your witness to anon-believer? Would it uphold the world or the Word?

Happy Monday!

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭ESV‬‬

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! This is my prayer for each of you today; that in every situation, and every encounter, that God's hope and peace shines through.

Have a blessed day!

“preach the word [as an official messenger]; be ready when the time is right and even when it is not [keep your sense of urgency, whether the opportunity seems favorable or unfavorable, whether convenient or inconvenient, whether welcome or unwelcome]; correct [those who err in doctrine or behavior], warn [those who sin], exhort and encourage [those who are growing toward spiritual maturity], with inexhaustible patience and [faithful] teaching.”
‭‭2 Timothy‬ ‭4‬:‭2‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Good morning! Happy Wednesday! When looking up the word charge; one definition was to burden or load, and if we dig deeper into what a burden is, it's a weight, or or something to be carried with a level of difficulty. I think that is fitting for this scripture because as Christ followers we have an obliobligation to speak the word of God whether it's palatable or not. Whether it's trendy or not. Whether we gain or loose friends, family, etc. it is a duty and a privilege to speak what thus says the Lord, because when it comes to being held accountable to God when we stand before Him the only thing that will matter is did you stand on His word. Did you live by His word. Did you spread His word (in love).

As you go forth today be reminded that you are Christ representatives in all you do and be ready to give a word when the time comes

“Why has the LORD defeated us today before the Philistines? Let us bring the ark of the covenant of the LORD here from Shiloh, that it may come among us and save us from the power of our enemies… So the Philistines fought, and Israel was defeated, and they fled, every man to his home. And there was a very great slaughter, for thirty thousand foot soldiers of Israel fell. And the ark of God was captured, and the two sons of Eli, Hophni and Phinehas, died.” 1 Samuel 4: 3, 10-11

Good morning everyone! As we get started on a new week, we wanted o talk a bit about the Isrealites from this passage of scripture. Often times when we read about them, we read it from a third person perspective, which can cause us to judge them more harshly than we should because there are times were we are falling short just like they did.

In our scripture today, we find the Israelites mid-battle with the Philistines, and to their dismay… they are loosing. The first question they ask is “Why is God letting us get defeated?” when, when we read the passage… they never asked for God’s guidance on if they were supposed to engage in the battle in the first place. Then they think the solution is to bring the Ark into the midst of the battle (in an effort to force God’s hand) believing that will get them the victory; it in fact did not. Actually, it was made things worse because the Ark ends up being captured.

How many situations, plans, ideas, have we gone forward with without asking God whether or not we should even do them, then we get upset or confused when they aren’t working out the way we thought they would? Or, how many times have we tried to add God into the situation after the fact hoping that He will undo all the things that have happened, that wouldn’t have happened if we would have just went to Him first?

The bible tells us that “ In all your ways, acknowledge Him, and He will Direct your path” (Prov. 3:6). This is the cheat code, but it requires a standard of not allowing flesh and impatience lead the way. It means that sometimes His answers aren’t what we may want be they are always what we need to Him moving in our lives.

Let’s be sure we are moving with God. God bless you, cover, and keep you! Love you all! Have a blessed week!

“For this cause everyone who is godly shall pray to You In a time when You may be found; Surely in a flood of great waters They shall not come near him. You are my hiding place; You shall preserve me from trouble; You shall surround me with songs of deliverance. Selah”
‭‭Psalms‬ ‭32‬:‭6‬-‭7‬ ‭NKJV‬

Good morning! There is beauty in forgiveness. Psalms 32 is about the joy of forgiveness. We often hear it said "forgive even when there is no apology present" because it releases you from the burden that unforgiveness has. The thing that blows my mind is that, that's exactly what Jesus did on the cross. He forgave us even though He knew some would be unrepentant. But for those that are truly repentant of our sins, how beautiful is it to know you were already forgiven before you were made aware of your sins to a Holy God?

In the passage taken for today's devotion, there's a piece that speaks on God being our hiding place, protecting us from trouble... to be able to rest in the knowledge that in His forgiveness of our sins He hides us in Him brings a sense of awe and reverence that we shouldn't take His gifts for granted.

God bless you all! Have a great day!

“May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing [through the experience of your faith] that by the power of the Holy Spirit you will abound in hope and overflow with confidence in His promises.”
‭‭Romans‬ ‭15‬:‭13‬ ‭AMP‬‬

Good morning, happy Wednesday!

I was reading this passage in CSB and it stated " Now may the God of Hope..." and the word now got me.

Now is an adverb that depending on how you use it can mean:
1) At the present time or moment

2) to draw attention to a particular statement or point in a narrative.

3) it can be used as a consequence of a fact.

I liked the third definition because as a consequence of submitting and following the God of hope, joy, peace... we get to experience an unlimited supply of His love, His joy, His peace, His hope.

The thing that keeps us from doing that is when we take our eyes off Him and allow the things of this world to deplete our self made peace, hope, etc. so the encouragement today is to look up to God who has given us access to a never ending reservoir of Him.
