We remember this thought for the day as our week unfolds . . . While we were still sinners, God sent Jesus to die for us, not because we were good, but because He loves us. | From our June 3rd Worship Service. Gathering Red Hymnal #96: “Praise Him!” Red Hymnal #32: “How Great Thou Art” Offering Red Hymnal #28: “Come Thou Fount of Every Blessing” Scripture: Psalm 32 Prayers of the Saints The Lord’s Prayer The Lord’s Supper Message: “Left Overs” Blue Hymnal #117: “The Last Mile of the Way” |
We enjoy the peace that comes from being made right with God, but we still face daily problems that often help us grow. If we remember these two sides of the Christian life, we will not grow discouraged as we face temptations and problems. Instead we will learn the power available to us from Christ, who lives in us by the Holy Spirit. On one hand we are complete in Christ ( acceptance with Him is secure.) On the other hand, we are growing in Christ (becoming more and more like Him). Peace with God is possible only because Jesus paid the price for our sins through His death on the cross.
