Again he said, “what shall we say the kingdom of God is like, or what parable shall we use to describe it? It is like a mustard seed, which is the smallest of all seeds on earth. Yet when planted, it grows and becomes the largest of all garden plants, with such big branches that the birds can perch in its shade.” -Mark 4:30-32. Check out this week's devotion!

Yesterday we gathered around the Lord’s table and prayed we would have eyes to see other people and extend grace to them despite our differences. The lyrics of the song “Good Grace” by @hillsongunited reminds us what the Lord’s table is about. We are all welcome to the table not because anything we did, but because of Jesus sacrifice for his beloved children. . . “People come together Strange as neighbors Our blood is one Children of generations Of every nation Of kingdom come So don't let your heart be troubled Hold your head up high Don't fear no evil Fix your eyes on this one truth God is madly in love with you So take courage Hold on Be strong Remember where our help comes from” . . #goodgracegoodgod #mondaymotivation #communionliteragy #hillsongunitedworship #everyoneiswelcometothetable

Congrats to our Seniors! We loved celebrating this accomplishment with you yesterday in our services. May God guide you into this next chapter of your life. . . . “We can make our plans,but the LORD determines our steps” -Proverbs 16:9 . . . #fumctstudents #foomack #seniorsunday
