First Church of Christ-Owosso, MI First Church of Christ

As a church where are we at in our faith journey? Where are we missing the mark? In what areas are we doing well? These are important questions to ask as a church. Our goal as the church is to glorify God through the gathering together of believers and to honor the upward call of God together. So... where are we at?

Do you want to know where you're at in your faith and walk with God? There are a few questions that we can ask ourselves to help us better learn and understand how we can reach our destination. God's goal is to transform our lives through the indwelling of the Holy Spirit. Together, let's follow the narrow road of life, with Jesus showing us the way.

In Matthew chapter 6, Jesus modeled to us how we should pray. The prayer Jesus offered is a simple and clear guide. May we as God's people commit ourselves to prayer, and may we pray that the Lord’s Prayer be fulfilled in our lives, in our community, and in our church!

God’s love for us is unconditional, and He calls us to be rooted and established in His love. When we allow the Holy Spirit of God to take control of our lives, He will draw us together in love. May we as a church be filled with the Holy Spirit and united in God’s love, and may God’s love flow freely out of every one of us to other people.

In our prayers, we may stumble in our words or approach, but what truly matters is our devotion and intention. God sees beyond the surface, straight into our hearts, understanding our deepest needs even when we struggle to articulate them perfectly. Through Solomon's example, we learn that there's nothing more precious than cultivating a genuine relationship with our Heavenly Father.

As the people of God, we need boldness! We need to always be willing and searching for opportunities to share the Gospel boldly and confidently with the lost.
