It is a new week and another Monday :)


Last week was a short verse with a ton of meaning.  We ALL need a Savior! 

This week’s verse is
Ephesians 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith.

So who is saved?
How are they saved?
Does he look at our abilities and save us because we have something he can use to bring himself glory?
What things do we have faith in?
What is something that you have faith in that never fails?

Seriously think and look at the fact that the only thing that saves you and me from eternal life in Hell is the grace of Jesus, and then ask yourself, “How do I respond to this grace in my every day life?”

Day 2
Ephesians 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith.

Romans 5:1-2 
Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God.

If you are a child of God how are you justified? 
How can you have peace?
How can you gain access to the grace?
What can you boast in?
Once again, “How do you respond to the grace given by faith?”

Day 3
Ephesians 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith

Romans 1:5
Through him we received grace and apostleship to call all the Gentiles to the obedience that comes from faith for his name’s sake is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God

How do we get faith?
Who do we need to receive grace?
We keep coming back to it is really not about me – How do we respond as we think of faith as a gift?

Day 4
Ephesians 2:8
For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith

Hebrews 11:8
 By faith Abraham, when called to go to a place he would later receive as his inheritance, obeyed and went, even though he did not know where he was going.

Is there any action to our faith?  Have you been called to move out on your faith?  What does obedience look like in the life of faith?

Day 5

What is the memory verse and what is something “new” you learned?

Forgiveness

Good Morning! I was thinking about "love" this morning as I sat with my cup of coffee and my paper and waited on the Lord. Last weeks verse was about being able to love because Christ loved us first.  Do you find loving people we like is pretty easy and it is even kind of easy to love those we don't like.  We can be the first to love someone but the question I had for myself was... ...how come I can't be the first to forgive someone.   Forgiveness is a place I can get stuck! Loving seems easy compared to forgiveness.  I think they may go hand in hand. This weeks verse is from Colossians 3:13  Bear with each other and forgive whatever grievenaces you may have aginst one another. Forgive as the Lord forgave you It sounds so easy as you "read" it in your Bible!  It sounds so easy as you "think" about forgiveness.  Can it be easy if we stay in step with the spirit as we walk through our day?  Is forgiveness supposed to be hard for us so

The Royal Wedding and Psalm 145

I was listening to the radio yesterday and the question they asked was, "Why would you want to watch the royal wedding?"  A few callers called in with a few reasons with one of those being... ...It is kind of like a girls super bowl.  The second thought someone had phone in was that if we compared it to King David and Bible times we could understand the royalty of that time in scripture.  One of the callers suggested that we read Psalm 145 in comparison of this royal day.  I have to admit I really had no intention of watching the event at all.  My husband and I figured we would just stay in bed a little longer because the news and weather wouldn't be one anyways.  But our internal alarm clocks went off and we found ourselves watching the event and the cars and the guests coming and being announced as they approached the church. The cheering was so loud and as Kate approached I found myself a little excited and caught up in the "princess" part of the day.  T
