Grace doesn't just forgive sin. It also teaches us how to live properly. It can say, 'I still love you,' and then, 'Now stop that!' Pray for your pastor to have the boldness to train you for effective service.

No itchy ears!
Teaching church folk can be challenging. We either don't understand the first time, forget over time, or probably both. We need to be reminded of our failures and responsibilities, as well as God’s grace, to help us through. Thank God for pastors who provide what we need. Let's go to the assembly of the saints this week, ready to receive what we need.
Barandillas de guía: Solo compra lo auténtico.
Asegúrate de poner a prueba tus revelaciones antes de hacerlas pasar por algo que viene de Dios. Si te equivocas, sé capaz de admitirlo. Eso te dará más credibilidad, no menos. No hay prisa, tenemos toda la eternidad y un Dios que conoce el final desde el principio.
See You in Church
We are designed by our Maker to seek connection and identification. This drive fills taverns and football stadiums. God put this drive in us to encourage us to connect with other believers. He wants us to depend on each other.
Reclaim the Sabbath
Itf you're struggling with the weight of life, or frustrated by unanswered prayers, or feeling discouraged and alone, or struggling for physical healing, maybe it's a good time to swallow that spiritual pride and go to church. Lives change in His Presence.
Take, Learn, Rest.
Jesus declared that all who come to Him will find rest. Our New Creation Sabbath is a person, not a day. Sure, we still need to take time to rest, contemplate, and marvel at His goodness, but we have a New Creation grace that makes rest our default position.
Let’s Try a Little Faith
As we prepare for church this week, we can make our meeting more than a lecture and a mini-concert. If we come with faith, Jesus will still show up. He hasn't changed!
Stay Steady!
When God speaks to us, we usually believe that it will happen very soon. That's a possibility, but it's not the rule. We see from God's advice to Habakkuk that once we have written the vision, it may take a while. Don't quit!
Barandillas de guía: Discernir la voz de Dios en un mundo ruidoso
Si somos honestos en nuestro deseo de agradar a Dios, no a nosotros mismos, nuestro primer paso es revisar nuestro propio corazón. Al fin y al cabo, todos somos humanos. La mayor parte de nuestro pensamiento gira en torno a nosotros. Todos tenemos nuestras propias experiencias, necesidades y deseos. Naturalmente, interpretamos las cosas a través de esas lentes. Por eso, tal vez sea necesario revisar nuestro corazón.
It is Finished!
Jesus sat down at the right hand of the Father because He had finished His work of redemption. Have you ever thought about all that is already yours because of what He did? Take a moment. Stop your work, mental and physical, and be thankful for what's already been done.
