It seems like the judgment of the world is based on how we treat each other today.
Christ can either welcome us to his kingdom or we can stand there and ask,
but when was it that we saw you hungry, thirsty, naked, a stranger, sick, or in prison?
Christ will respond, “Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family,
you did it to me.”

What are you doing today for “the least of these”?

Matthew 25:31-46

From our message this past Sunday, our faith calls us to action and requires that we take risks at times.
Playing it safe or being an idle Christian is not being faithful. 

What actions or risks are you taking this week to exemplify your faith? 
Matthew 25:14-30

And, since it is Thanksgiving week, each day think of someone or something to be grateful for.

Each day, we’re presented with multitude of choices and decisions to make.
We choose from what we eat, to what we wear, to our friends, to what influences us,
to our happiness, to where we worship and to whom we pray and serve. 
Joshua presented the Israelites an ultimatum, “… choose this day whom you will serve
…but as for me and my household, we will serve the Lord.”
Who are you choosing to serve as your Lord?
How are you serving your Lord? 
Joshua 24:14-25

Paul reminded the church in Thessalonica that they were to live a life worthy of God
because they were witnesses to the living Gospel of Christ. 

How are you living a life worthy of God? Is your life a living pursuit of Christ?
