Paris First Christian Church

Paris First Christian Church We extend the Good News of God's Love through Worship. Please join us on Sunday mornings at 10 a.m.

It is said that the roots of anything really worthwhile lie in the heart and mind of a single individual, and so it was with the First Christian Church of Paris. In fact, it was said that in the beginning, the whole town of Paris revolved around James Cephas Fox as the planets revolve around the sun. His picture still hangs in our sanctuary as the founder of the church; it is still regarded as his

brain-child though three different buildings have stood on the site. We lovingly remember our heritage, and continue lifting high the cross and proclaiming the love of Christ to all the world.

Dear Heavenly Father,

In the quiet of this morning, I seek to dwell in Your shelter and find rest in Your shadow.

With each challenge and opportunity this day brings, guide me to lean more deeply into Your promises.

Help me find peace in Your presence, even amidst the storms of life.

Thank You for Your unwavering love and protection.

Lead me in Your ways, Lord, for in You alone do I find my refuge.

In Jesus' name, I pray… Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,

We thank You for Your total forgiveness. Thank You that You do not dangle our sins over us, but You choose to forget them and see us through Jesus. Help us to walk in the freedom You purchased on the cross.

Teach us to stop dwelling on our past mistakes and to extend that same grace and forgiveness to those around us. We choose to align our hearts with Your new covenant today.

In Jesus’ name… Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,

I pray that You would wrap Your arms around us and give us a sense of peace.

Remind us daily that You are in control, that You are powerful, and that You can do so much more than we could ever do on our own.

May we never forget how much we are loved, how precious we are in Your sight and how much You care for us.

Teach us to lean on You and to keep leaning on You. Help us to love one another according to Your will and by Your power.

In the name of Jesus we pray… Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,

Life moves so fast, and I sometimes forget to pause and appreciate the simple joys You give me each day. Help me to slow down and truly see Your blessings all around me.

When things get too busy, remind me that You're right here with me, guiding and providing. Fill my heart with gratitude and joy, especially in the little things. Give me the strength to embrace both the good times and the tough ones, knowing that neither is permanent on this side of heaven.

In Jesus' name… Amen.

Dear Heavenly Father,

As I start this day, I'm trying to hold onto Your words about not worrying. I know it's what You want for me, but sometimes my mind just won't stop spinning with all these concerns. When those anxious thoughts creep in, help me turn them into prayers instead.

Thank You for all the times You've carried me through, even when I didn't realize it was You. When things get tough today, remind me of Your faithfulness. Fill my heart with that peace that only You can give - the kind that doesn't make sense to the world but means everything to me.

In Jesus' name… Amen.

Dear God,

Sometimes life feels like a whirlwind, and carefully laid plans just seem to blow away. But Your Word remains steady and true. Thank you that Your Word always speaks to the deepest needs of our hearts, offering guidance and comfort no matter what else is going on.

When things feel shaky, help us cling to Your promises. Your Word is our safe place, the source of all strength and hope. Help us live by it every day, letting it guide our choices and shape who we are.

Keep us close to You, Lord. Help us hear Your voice clearly above the noise and confusion. Let Your truth cheer us on and keep us on the right path. Thank you for always being our rock and refuge.

In Jesus name… Amen.
