HomeFront Check-In - GRACE

This month we are going through the prayer calendar as a starting point to focus our hearts on the Spirit of God! I've been pairing two of my favorite Spiritual Parenting resources, HomeFront Magazine and Seeds Family Worship music! 

When I was looking at today's topic and verse I was excited to find another overlap in these resources. Saturday is a great time to listen to new music and spend some family time together, so check it out!

Today's word: grace

The passage today is:: 

 For it is by grace you have been saved through faith-- and this not from yourselves it is the gift of God--not by works so that no one can boast. Ephesians 2:8-9

New International Version (NIV)

Seeds Family Worship has another song that corresponds with the verse of the day streaming free HERE called Grace from Ephesians 2:8! HomeFront made the suggestion of choosing one verse from the week and memorizing as a family. This song would be a great place to start! When you purchase a CD from Seeds Family Worship, you actually receive 2 -- one for you and one to share with a friend! --what a great way to spread God's Word!

Have a wonderful weekend!

Compassion: HERE

Josh Mitchael Music - and thoughts on worship

Let me introduce you to my husband, Josh! He serves as a Worship Pastor at Coastal Community Church in Coconut Creek, FL. This summer, Josh is co-leading a music Connect Group to join together in song writing and creativity. I can't wait to hear the results! I am so thankful for this community and Josh's heart for our Savior, Jesus.

He has has released a single on iTunes. We'd love to have your support!  To download YOUR GRACE, click HERE! 

I would love to share some of Josh's thoughts on worship::

One of the most influential things I’ve learned about worship is that it does not stop. We’re always worshiping something. Harold Best says in his book Unceasing Worship, “When we sin, worship doesn’t stop. It changes direction.” When I sin, I take my eyes off the cross of Christ and become an idol worshiper. Regardless of my struggles and failures, Jesus is my Savior, Healer, Rescuer, Redeemer, and my King.  I long to see people come to know Jesus and take their passions and use them for his glory. Just as Jesus invested in a very focused group, I long to be in a community that is sharing each other’s joys, sorrows, struggles, practices the spiritual disciplines necessary for a growing relationship with Jesus, keeps each other accountable, and carries each other’s burdens. I dream of a group like this that lives to be like Christ and shares his message of salvation and eternal life. In the words of singer/songwriter Jon Foreman, “I wanna thrive, not just survive.”

This month [JUNE 2014] We are going through the prayer calendar as a starting point to focus our hearts on the Spirit of God!

Today's word: compassion

The verse today is:: 

 Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness and patience Colossians 3:12

English Standard Version (ESV)

Seeds Family Worship has another song that corresponds with the verse of the day streaming free HERE called Put On Love from Colossians 3:12&14! This would be a great choice for a family verse of the week! 

Happy Thursday!

HomeFront Check-In

I love learning while browsing through the HomeFront Magazine from David C Cook's TRU Children's Ministry Curriculum. The magazine is a FREE monthly resource for families:: http://homefrontmag.com/

This month [JUNE 2014] I really thought it would be a great opportunity to go through their 30 day prayer calendar. Each day has a verse and a theme attribute or fruit of the Spirit to pray through and incorporate as a family. 

Today's word: peace

The verse today is::  

You will keep in perfect peace

those whose minds are steadfast, 

because they trust in you. Isaiah 26:3

New International Version (NIV)

Seeds Family Worship has a wonderful family tune streaming for free HERE called The Rock Eternal from Isaiah 26:3-4! This is a wonderful way to help you and your kids remember and be encouraged by the Word of God throughout the day.

Blessings on your family!
