Welcome to First Houston United Methodist Church

We are one of the oldest Methodist churches in Houston, Texas. We continue to evolve throughout the years and have been serving the communities of Downtown Houston and the Westchase district. Please join us for our 11 AM Sunday worship service at our downtown campus.

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.

January 29 – Devotional

Scripture: Your word is a lamp before my feet and a light for my journey. - Psalm 119:105, CEB

Psalm 119 describes God’s Word as a source of guidance, life, and hope. The Psalmist wrote that God’s Word keeps us from sinning, comforts, gives reason to praise and thank God, instructs, gives wisdom, lights our way, strengthens, revives, brings salvation, gives life, and delivers us. Interestingly, Psalm 119 is the longest Psalm and is found in the center of the Bible. No doubt that is not a coincidence because the Psalm is about God’s Word, and God’s Word is at the center of our faith. As the Statement of Faith (Creed) of the Korean Methodist Church says, “We believe in the Word of God contained in the Old and New Testaments as the sufficient rule both of faith and of practice.” We know that God’s vision for our church will be aligned with Scripture; the challenge we as individuals and the church as a whole face is how we put God’s Word into practice.
