WORDS OF LIFE

DEUTERONOMY 8:3 (CEV)
The LORD was teaching you that people need more than food to live—they need every word that the LORD has spoken.

JOHN 6:68 (ABP)
Simon Peter replied to Jesus, "Boss, we wouldn't presume to listen to anyone else. You've got the words that draw us into the forever-enduring life."

SUMMARY SENTENCE
We look to the teaching of Jesus as the gateway to real life.

PRAYER
Thank you, God, for Jesus-the-living word and for his instruction which leads us into the forever-enduring eternally-satisfying life. Forgive me for allowing myself to be distracted by the false propaganda of those who oppose you. Yes, they've repeated their fake news so often that they've begun to believe it. Keep me from getting sucked into their alternative reality. Gound me in your word so that your eternal life becomes evident to all within my realm of influence. Amen.

THE LORD’S PRAYER
Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your Name, your Kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and forever. Amen.
