Mission Trip - Monday Update and Devotional

The Cedar Run Youth are on our annual mission trip to Coatesville, PA. We arrived safely and ready to do a great work. We are broken up into 3 teams. Each team will have a dedicated house to work on for the entire week. The great news is that every house has 3-5 children there in which we can minister to. In fact, Good Works, Inc. has told us that our 1st priority is to minister to the families and then work on their house. That means that if a child comes up to us and wants to talk and play a game, we are to take the time and minister to them. The work on their house will come later.

We are all very excited for the week ahead. If you want to track along with us on what we are doing devotionally, take a minute and do the devotional below.

DEVOTIONAL

What chore is the hardest for you to do at home? Why?

Read John 14:21

From this verse, what does it mean to obey Jesus?

When we obey, what does that demonstrate?

What does Jesus promise us if we obey?


Additional Thoughts and Application:

Charles Colson once said, “Holiness is obeying God”. We should be striving daily to become holy. Becoming holy comes from obeying God.

Are you obedient to God with your life? Are you being obedient during this trip? Obedience is more than just saying yes and doing the job. It takes place in your heart first and foremost. So, check your heart – how is your heart?

Write down 1 way you can become more obedient this week.

Pray, then Do!
