Grain Valley Congregation

This Grain Valley Community of Christ page is dedicated to the unification and strengthening of the saints of these latter days. A daily prayer accompanied with some scriptures are our efforts to draw those reading closer together. That we may, if even for a brief moment, during our day be connected throughout the work week, and remember God's promise that where 2 or 3 gather in his name, he will be in their midst! This page is not intended to be exclusive to Grain Valley me...mbers only, but it is meant to focus and unify our thoughts towards God and the building of Zion. Please read, praise and worship with us!

Food for thought: DC 28:1a-1b 28:1a Listen to the voice of Jesus Christ, your Redeemer, the great I AM, whose arm of mercy hath atoned for your sins, who will gather his people even as a hen gathereth her chickens under her wings, even as many as will hearken to my voice, and humble themselves before me, and call upon me in mighty prayer. 28:1b Behold, verily, verily I say unto you, that at this time your sins are forgiven you, therefore ye receive these things; but rememb...er to sin no more, lest perils shall come upon you. ______________ Dear Father, Let us repent and prepare ourselves for the remembrance of the covenant we've made with you. Let is remember the calling that each of us has, that we should be forgiven, and sin no more. In Christ's eternal name Amen See more

Food for thought: DC 24:1b 24:1b A revelation I give unto thee concerning my will, and if thou art faithful and walk in the paths of virtue before me, I will preserve thy life, and thou shalt receive an inheritance in Zion. ___________ Dear Lord,... Though this scripture was directly written to Emma Smith, it is my hope that we apply it to ourselves. In Christ's name Amen See more

Food for thought: Matthew 23:1-9 23:1 Then spake Jesus to the multitude, and to his disciples, saying, The Scribes and the Pharisees sit in Moses' seat. 23:2 All, therefore, whatsoever they bid you observe, they will make you observe and do; for they are ministers of the law, and they make themselves your judges. But do not ye after their works; for they say, and do not. 23:3 For they bind heavy burdens and lay on men's shoulders, and they are grievous to be borne; but they... will not move them with one of their fingers. 23:4 And all their works they do to be seen of men. They make broad their phylacteries, and enlarge the borders of their garments, and love the uppermost rooms at feasts, and the chief seats in the synagogues, and greetings in the markets, and to be called of men, Rabbi, Rabbi, (which is master.) 23:5 But be not ye called Rabbi; for one is your master, which is Christ; and all ye are brethren. 23:6 And call no one your creator upon the earth, or your heavenly Father; for one is your creator and heavenly Father, even he who is in heaven. 23:7 Neither be ye called masters; for one is your master, even he whom your heavenly Father sent, which is Christ; for he hath sent him among you that ye might have life. 23:8 But he that is greatest among you shall be your servant. 23:9 And whosoever shall exalt himself shall be abased of him; and he that shall humble himself shall be exalted of him. _________ Heavenly Father, As it becomes more and more difficult to find leaders in the different aspects of our lives who serve you, I ask that we are able to see when their servitude is actually for themselves rather than you. In Christ's name Amen See more

Food for thought: 2 Nephi 9:5-10 9:5 Then said I, wo is unto me! for I am undone; because I am a man of unclean lips; and I dwell in the midst of a people of unclean lips; for mine eyes have seen the King, the Lord of hosts. 9:6 Then flew one of the seraphims unto me, having a live coal in his hand, which he had taken with the tongs from off the altar: 9:7 And he laid it upon my mouth, and said, Lo, this has touched thy lips; and thine iniquity is taken away, and thy sin pur...ged. 9:8 Also I heard the voice of the Lord, saying, Whom shall I send, and who will go for us? Then I said, Here am I; send me. 9:9 And he said, Go, and tell this people, hear ye indeed, but they understood not; and see ye indeed, but they perceived not. 9:10 Make the heart of this people fat, and make their ears heavy, and shut their eyes; lest they see with their eyes and hear with their ears, and understand with their heart, and be converted, and be healed. _____________ Eternal Father, When we feel unworthy or inadequate, help us to remember that we are cleansed through your sacrifice. You do not call the qualified, but qualify the called, and by doing so, I ask that our struggles are realized as the qualifications that they're meant to be. In Christ's most holy name Amen See more
