January Daily
Devotionals
Our focus as a congregation during the month of January is to seek God’s will, His best future, for First Houston United Methodist Church by joining together to pray, listen, and share.
This guide was designed to lead and unite us in that endeavor. Each day, you will find a Scripture reading and a key verse or verses from that passage. Please find a quiet time to read and meditate on these verses.

Can people look at our church and know we belong to Jesus by the way we love our neighbors?
