AKINA Community Church

 
Welcome to
 
AKINA Communty Church
 
AKINA is an Ojibwe word for “everyone”. At Akina
 
 Community Church everyone is welcome; all ages,
 
cultures and backgrounds. We gather every week to
 
do what is difficult to do on our own and that is to
 
honor our Creator by giving our full attention (our
 
mind, heart & soul) to Him. We were never meant to
 
walk this trail alone but together. It is our desire that
 
Akina would be a place where you can connect with
 
God and others on this journey. We meat every
 
Sunday at 10:45. We look forward to meeting you.

Be Discerning

Read 2 Chronicles 10:1 through 13:22

When two tourists were lost in the back roads of Ireland, they asked an elderly farmer for directions. “If I was going there, I wouldn’t start from here,” he responded.

Whom we ask for advice is as important as knowing the way ahead. When Rehoboam became king, he sought advice about how to respond to Jeroboam’s request to remove the heavy burdens placed on some people.

Rehoboam answered, “Come back to me in three days” (2 Chronicles 10:5).

Rehoboam’s elders counseled him to reduce burdens. However, he accepted the advice of younger friends who encouraged him to increase the people’s burden. This resulted in the division of the kingdom and Rehoboam’s abandonment of God’s Law.

Following bad advice can lead to disaster. Like Rehoboam, we may be tempted to listen only to peers for direction. Instead we need to first turn to God and His Holy Spirit for discernment. Then seek godly advice and prayer from those with experience and wisdom.

Prayer Suggestion: Holy Spirit, give me the gifts of wisdom and discernment to make good decisions.

Quicklook: 2 Chronicles 10:2–15
