Make Straight the Way of the Lord
We are going to be working our way through the Gospel of John for a little while. If you are interested in taking a closer look at what we are studying on Sundays please read through the Gospel and be praying for God to illuminate it to you. Also, I am going to be looking at A.W. Tozer’s “And He Dwelt Among Us” so if you enjoy reading and want to follow along as we study please pick up a copy. Along with that, text Bible.Org has some good resources that help in our study of Scripture so be sure to check those out!
I am praying that God’s powerful truth would cause us to long for more of Him daily.

NEW AGAIN!
As we step into the New Year I am excited and nervous. The Lord is doing good things and changing life up in some beautiful and painful ways for us here at Medford Friends Church. We have an opportunity to step into some new relationships and find ourselves connecting in new ways with God through them. I look forward to the ways in which we seek these things together and how God will continue to show His love and favor to us as we step into these new things. But the saying goes, “the more things change, the more they stay the same.” So even as we step into these new things we continue to be faithful to God and seek to worship Him day by day, to point to Jesus in all that we do. Even when the world changes and things seem like they won’t ever be the same for us that truth remains: God loves us and is shaping our lives to reflect that love to the world!
