Earning the Right – June 18, 2016

Today’s Translation: The Amplified Bible | Weekly Video: Those Who Care (Matthew 4:23-5:2)

“When Jesus saw the crowds, He went up on the mountain; and when He was seated, His disciples came to Him. Then He began to teach them, saying…” – Matthew 5:1-2 (AMP)

Live It Out!

Before Jesus delivered His famous Sermon on the Mount, He had to earn the right to be heard. He did this by traveling around and healing people, giving them hope despite their hopeless situations. We need to emulate our Lord’s model by loving first and using words second. Our actions speak louder than any sermon or Bible study. If we want to be able to tell people about who Jesus is and what He came to do, we need to first become ‘those who care’.

Loved by God – June 8, 2016

Today’s Translation: Holman Christian Standard Bible | Weekly Video: United We Stand (John 17:20-26) “I am in them and You are in Me. May they be made completely one, so the world may know You have sent Me and have loved them as You have loved Me.” – John 17:23 (HCSB) Live It Out! When Jesus died on the cross for our sin, it was the ultimate act of love. Because we have been washed clean by the blood of Christ, our bodies are now God’s holy temple. Just as the Spirit filled Jesus to allow Him to do His ministry, the indwelling of the Spirit gives us everything we need to accomplish the work God has set before us. We must be one as Jesus and the Father are one by allowing the Holy Spirit to direct our steps each and every day. from Paradigm Shift Ministries http://ift.tt/1t81ZEW via IFTTT
