By Faith, Not Works

Mike talked about Ephesians 2:8-9, which says, “For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.” These verses are an encouragement to not concern ourselves with the things we can do to earn God’s grace, but to accept his salvation for us as it is freely given. In the end, there is only one person who can boast perfection– Jesus Christ. It’s such a relief that we don’t have to hold ourselves to that standard!

Abby shared one of her favorite passages, Mark 10:13-16— “And they were bringing children to him that he might touch them, and the disciples rebuked them. But when Jesus saw it, he was indignant and said to them, ‘Let the children come to me; do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God. Truly, I say to you, whoever does not receive the kingdom of God like a child shall not enter it.’ And he took them in his arms and blessed them, laying his hands on them.” Jesus is encouraging us to become like children– to humble ourselves in our faith and live in childlike awe for what he has in store. What a beautiful image, that Jesus takes us into his arms and blesses us!

Shout out to Ron for correctly guessing today’s name that tune– Fake It by Tauren Wells.

Thanks for listening!

The grace when I hit the bottom

Today’s Monday Motivation comes from Colton Dixon and his song, My Light.

Psalm 119 reminds us, “Your word is a lamp for my feet, a light on my path.”

I’ve tried on my own strength, but I just trip and fall
Put my faith in the wrong things, turns out after all
You’re the answer for every problem
You’re the grace when I hit the bottom
The lamp unto my feet, oh Lord, let it shine

Here’s Colton’s lyric video:

Name a fruit you might eat for breakfast.

Orange (38)
Grapefruit (27)
Banana (18)
Blueberries (9)
Strawberries (8)

We Believe It!

Today, Mike and Abby shared some Scripture relating to this year’s upcoming Lifeline theme, “I Believe It.”

Abby read a passage starting with her favorite verse, Hebrews 11:1— “Now faith is the assurance of things hoped for, the conviction of things not seen. For by it the people of old received their commendation. By faith we understand that the universe was created by the word of God, so that what is seen was not made out of things that are visible.” By declaring our belief in Christ, we are also making a statement of faith. We can be convicted of something we know is true, even when we don’t see it with our eyes.

Mike read John 20:31, which says, “but these are written so that you may believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that by believing you may have life in his name.” This verse points out the wonderful guarantee that we have as a result of our belief–life in Jesus’s name! This is a guarantee that we can rest in as believers, no matter the circumstances.

Shout out to Alyssa for correctly guessing today’s Name That Tune, Jesus Can by Austin French! She wins TWO gift cards to Watt’s Restaurant, since last week was a stumper.

Thanks for listening!
