Welcome!

Isn't it true that all of us are "Walking It Out" day by day with the Lord? We are in this journey together—perhaps in different stages and circumstances, but certainly not alone. Let us help each other by lifting one another up and being encouraged to continue on this marvelous journey. In the end, this journey will lead us to the face of God.

"Walking It Out" is a Sunday school class offered at Praise Assembly in Springfield, Missouri, and taught by Doug and Nancy Thomas. We are glad you came to visit us here at this site and hope that you find something helpful in your own faith as you are "Walking It Out."

Message from Scott Jordan

Scott shared several Scriptures in class and talked about his journey as he's battled with drugs off and on for 20 years. He shared verses that have helped him overcome. He reminded us of the Apostle Peter, who had walked on earth with Jesus yet still denied Him, still sank in the waves. Those who struggle with addictions can trust God to lift them up and deliver them.

Scott said, "I know what it's like to have cravings. I fall all the time. We need to stay in the Word. It'll keep you strong. And we have a room full of brothers and sisters here who will lift you up in prayer.

Blessings to you, Scott, and thanks for sharing!

Prayer Requests

  • Continue to remember Doug in prayer as he is in Pakistan. He also asks us to pray for Saad, a Pakistani who said he wants to "find the one true God." He asked Doug for a Bible and said, "There's something different about you and Philip (the only other American there)." Doug told him to read Jesus' words and pray, and then Jesus will show him the one true God.
