    God calls us to fruitfulness, inviting our prayers and faithful actions to cultivate blessing, growth, and goodness in every area of our ordinary lives.

    If you listen closely to the first pages of Scripture, you can almost hear it—the cadence of creation, the hush before the first sunrise, the smile of God as He blesses the world He just made.

    LIVES MADE OVER Jeremiah 18:1-5 A product with which most of us have grown up is Ivory soap. Besides being 99.44% pure, it has two uncommon qualities among soap.

    What do these 3 things have in common? Maybe Jesus changes more than just menus!
