God’ Plan - Our Future
Today’s Bible Verse:
Jeremiah 29:11 ESV
For I know the plans I have for you, declares the Lord, plans for welfare and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.
Let us remember—God knows everything. From before we were born, God knew what our lives would be like. And God’s plan for us is simple: He wants us to believe in His Son, our Lord Jesus Christ. God wants us to believe that His Son came from heaven to earth to pay for our sins, suffer at the hands of His enemies, be crucified on the cross, die, rise, and ascend back to heaven for our justification. God’s plan gives us a future - eternal life. As we live this life, let us trust in God for all that He’s done for us. May hope in Him guide us daily.

Apostles’ Creed:
I believe in God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth.
And in Jesus Christ, His only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried. He descended into hell. The third day He rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven and sits at the right hand of God the Father Almighty. From thence He will come to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy Christian Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be Thy name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven; give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.
