TODAY'S EPISODE:

In a land overshadowed by strife, a man named Hunter emerges with a lineage rooted in resilience and divine intervention. Born in the town of Zorah, within the tribe of Dan, his story begins with his parents, Manoah and his wife, who longed for a child amidst years of oppression by the Philistines. For a time, it seemed they would remain childless, until an angel of the Lord appeared to his mother, promising the birth of a son despite her inability to conceive. This miraculous promise came with a vow—a commitment to purity, abstaining from wine, and living a life dedicated to the path set forth by divine guidance. Hunter's existence signifies hope and renewal in a tumultuous world, a testament to faith and the unfolding of unexpected blessings.

TODAY'S DEVOTION:

A life giving perfume. Paul says, that's what our lives are to be. Perfume is beautiful. It's treasured. It fills the senses. It revives us. It beautifies us. This perfume Paul's talking about goes even further. It gives life. This life giving perfume never evaporates or dissipates over time. Once poured out, it grows and multiplies. It fills the room. It fills the world. Its fragrance spreads through time, and it gives life to each new generation, each new civilization. This is eternal life giving perfume. It has been poured out on us, and we are to pour it out on others.

On this Good Friday, we remember that God's life giving perfume was poured out in the life of our Lord Jesus upon the whole Earth as he hung from the cross, he gave himself so that he might offer radical forgiveness for all, that he might suffer on behalf of all, that that fragrant life would beautify all. So this day, may the spirit of Christ, the fragrance of his life, emanate from our souls into this world. May others be awakened to the fragrant life, the self giving, radically forgiving, co suffering life of our lord. May we all be awakened to this life that is ours in him today.

And that's the prayer that I have for you. May it be so.

TODAY'S PRAYERS:

Lord God Almighty and everlasting father you have brought us in safety to this new day preserve us with your Mighty power that we might not fall into sin or be overcome by adversity. And in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose  through Jesus Christ Our Lord amen.  

Oh God you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth and sent your blessed son to preach peace to those who are far and those who are near. Grant that people everywhere may seek after you, and find you. Bring the nations into your fold, pour out your Spirit on all flesh, and hasten the coming of your kingdom through Jesus Christ our Lord, Amen.  

And now Lord,  make me an instrument of your peace.  Where there is hatred let me sow love. Where there is injury, pardon.  Where there is doubt, faith. Where there is despair, hope.  Where there is darkness, light.  And where there is sadness,  Joy.  Oh Lord grant that I might not seek to be consoled as to console. To be understood as to understand, to be loved as to love.  For it is in the giving that we receive, in the pardoning that we are pardoned, it is in the dying that we are born unto eternal life.  Amen

And now as our Lord has taught us we are bold to pray...

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 tresspasses as we forgive those who trespass against us, and lead us not unto temptation, but deliver us from evil, for thine is the Kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.

Loving God, we give you thanks for restoring us in your image. And nourishing us with spiritual food, now send us forth as forgiven people, healed and renewed, that we may proclaim your love to the world, and continue in the risen life of Christ.  Amen.
