(Carmelcast) Humbled And Honored In Christ (Isaiah 62:3; Luke 14:10) (Identity)

The CarmelCast concludes its summer of podcasts with today’s message. Next week the podcasts will come to us from the Theta ministry in San Pedro, CA. But Mount Carmel also is the site for a similar young adult ministry like Theta. It is called TAP or The Awaken Project. And you are welcome to join the students in this year’s Awaken Project by coming to Mount Carmel between September 15 and December 5. During this time there will be 8 different weeks when TAP will bring in teachers to train the students in Bible Study and other theological skills to help shape them for their ministry leadership. Sonja and I attended one week last year for the first time. We rented a cabin, enjoyed our own meals, shared in the daily teaching times (both morning and afternoon) and did other activities on the site. We are going to be back again this fall for the third week that begins at the end of September. You can join us or come at another time when it is convenient for your schedule. Download the PDF journal page for a complete schedule. You can also contact us at joso@groundupgrace.com or Steven Wagner, steve@theawakenprojectmn.com.

Daily Texts for 08/28/2025
Old Testament Verse

You shall be a beautiful crown in the hand of the Lord and a royal diadem in the hand of your God.
Isaiah 62:3

New Testament Verse

Jesus said, "When you are invited, go and sit down at the lowest place, so that when your host comes, he may say to you, 'Friend, move up higher'; then you will be honored in the presence of all who sit at the table with you."
Luke 14:10

Prayer

Thank you, God, for seeing me as you made me. You tell me I am the most elegant crown, regal and majestic as the most elaborate tiara. I regret I don't see myself this way. I only see what is in the mirror. Give me new eyes to see myself and others the way you see us. Amen.
