Shepherd to Sheep

Joshua 3:13 (10/19/2025)

"And it shall come about when the soles of the feet of the priests who carry the ark of the Lord, the Lord of all the earth, shall rest in the waters of the Jordan, the waters of the Jordan shall be cut off, and the waters which are flowing down from above, shall stand up in one heap."

As the priests stepped out in faith, not knowing what to expect from the raging waters, we too often step out into uncharted waters. Whether unforeseen physical ailments, a financial reversal, of a loved one going through changes we have no control of, we too have only the Lord to trust in. Our world turned topsy turvy, filled with uncertainty, we can only place our hope, trust and faith in the Lord. One step at a time, through the challenges, He is faithful to prevail.

Opportunities

Prayer- All the more, we should be praying for one another throughout the week, the month, continually. Spiritual warfare and attack come fast and furious in these last days. Ask the Lord to give you the names of those you should be praying for, as well as para-church organizations, our leaders and the peace of Jerusalem.

Prayer Points

River of Life Mission - Continue to pray for the Mission as the staff and leadership for so many years have been devoted to the houseless community, those underserved, those who may be considered latch-key kids and the many more who have come for a hot meal, a word of encouragement and some clean clothes, a word of hope.

Lahaina Recovery - Continue to keep in prayer the people of Lahaina and for the entirety of Maui. Long term effects and status of rebuilding, housing for the displaced, job recovery and financial ramifications all come into recovery efforts.

California Wildfire - Continue to pray for the many families affected by the fires.

East Coast - Continue to pray for the ongoing hurricane relief work on the east coast.

Pray for the peace of Jerusalem - As the Middle East heats up, pray for the nation of Israel along with all of those in this region who have come to the knowledge of Jesus Christ as Lord and Saviour.
