Our labor of love each week—especially in this heat! 🥵 While the words on the sign are tied to each Sunday's upcoming sermon, Phil and my prayer is that for the words found there are an encouragement to the community ❤ May they be a blessing to you!

This week kicks off volleyball for our Lady Coyotes and football for our Men Coyotes. Participation in sports fosters so many positive values that these young men and women will carry for the rest of their lives. Let's be sure and support them in their efforts and let them know how proud we are of them when we see them. Be sure to also thank our cheerleaders for their hard work and enthusiasm in cheering them on.

Heavenly Father, we are so thankful for our young people. Thank you for the opportunities you have provided for them to grow physically, mentally, and spiritually through their participation in all of the programs that Tatum Municipal Schools offer. We thank you for the teachers, coaches, parents, and members of the community who pour into them, investing in them during their crucial formative years.

Lord, please watch over each player and keep them safe as they engage in their competitions. We pray for strength and agility on the playing field, and for kindness and compassion wherever they find themselves.

May this school year be a season where they discover their potential and rise to meet it, in ways they never thought possible. May it be a time of great joy as they work hard to reach their goals. May they feel the love and encouragement of their community as they strive to represent Tatum to the best of their abilities.

And may all of this be done to Your glory.

Amen

We had such a special time worshiping together today. I love how our church family surrounds each other with the love of Christ, walking alongside each other and sharing each other's burdens—Romans 12:15 tells us to "Rejoice with those who rejoice; mourn with those who mourn" and Tatum Methodist Church lives out this verse beautifully—truly what God meant His church to be!

Today's sermon focused on using our own life experiences (our t-shirts) to minister to others who are walking a similar path, so that we may comfort them with the same comfort we have received from God (2 Cor 1:3-4) and how God can use those tribulations in our lives to draw us closer to Him.

Benediction:

Now may our Lord Jesus Christ himself, and God our Father, who loved us and gave us eternal comfort and good hope through grace, comfort your hearts and establish them in every good work and word. (2 Thessalonians 2:16-17)

Go forth into the world as confident children of God, strong in His endless love for you. Respond to that love with grateful hearts, by bringing the hope and comfort of God to those in need and sharing with them the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ.

When the Holy Spirit leads you, be courageous in sharing the hard things of your own lives so that you may comfort those walking a similar path with the same comfort you yourself received from God.

Know that these afflictions are momentary when seen through the lens of eternity, and glory beyond comparison awaits us. Keep strong in the certain hope we have in Jesus: our joyful and confident expectation of eternal salvation.

And now may the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ and the love of God and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit be with you all.

Amen

We live in a broken world and all of us have experienced bad things because of it. Romans 8:28 tells us that God works all things for our good, but when we have experienced tragedy and heartbreak—how can we find meaning in that verse?

Come this Sunday to hear what God has put on my heart to share with you about how He does that, and how you can use your own experiences to be a part of His redemptive plan and minister to those around you 👕❤
