Isaiah 2:4-7

This series focuses on building three types of community: between you and God, between you and self, and you and others. We will focus initially on the first Christian community found in Acts 2:42-47 which showcases the purity of devotion each believer had to God and each other. As their community grew stronger, so did their faith as God added to their number day by day.

Peace. Who among us doesn’t long for the state of mind and heart that is quiet and calm? A place where our inner being is as tranquil and undisturbed as a quiet lake? We pray that as you read through the following 5 days' reflections from Our Daily Bread, you will experience Jesus' gift of peace - of mind and heart.

What would our lives look like if we recognized that gratitude is the key to understanding our relationships with one another, the world around us, and God? By exploring gratitude, we will discover that being grateful to God is our righteous duty and also the best predictor of our well-being. Gratitude is an urgent necessity that, remarkably, also makes us more faithful, joyful, generous, healthy, and content.
