“BLESSED ARE THOSE WHO HUNGER AND THIRST” — HEALING FROM EMPTINESS (Matthew 5:6)😇

The synoptic Gospels refer to the first three books of the New Testament: Mathew, Mark, and Luke. They are called "synoptic" because they share a similar perspective and outline of Jesus's life and teachings. These Gospels often present the same stories and follow a similar sequence of events. This common viewpoint makes them easier to compare with each other. Example: Mathew 1:1-This is a record of the ancestors of Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of David and of Abraham: Mark 1:1- This is the Good News about Jesus the Messiah, the Son of God. It began Luke: 1:1-Many people have set out to write accounts about the events that have been fulfilled among us.

I've been praying over this space for a while now. The vision for Rising Together comes from a place of wanting us to truly see and support one another. Life is beautiful, but it can also be heavy, and we weren't meant to carry the weight alone. I want this to be more than just a group; I want it to be a family where we can be our authentic selves. Where we can start: Thessalonians 5:11 says- '' Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing." God is already doing something new in us. Let's commit to being the hands and feet for each other as we grow. I am so honored to walk this path with you. I'd love to hear from you personally: Please share one thing (even if it's small) that you're currently thankful for, or something you're trusting God for in this season. I'll be in the comments reading every single one!
