Legacy of Faith – September 7, 2016

Today’s Translation: Holman Christian Standard Bible | Weekly Video: The Beginning (Hebrews 11:1-7)

“By faith Abel offered to God a better sacrifice than Cain did. By faith he was approved as a righteous man, because God approved his gifts, and even though he is dead, he still speaks through his faith.” – Hebrews 11:4 (HCSB)

Live It Out!

The impact of our faith is something that can outlast that of our physical lives. This life is short, so we need to make the most of it by honoring God through all we do. Abel did what was right in the eyes of God, and his own brother killed him for it. The story of Cain and Abel is still told today as an example of both faithfulness and jealousy. The decisions we make today could become the lessons taught to future generations. Let your legacy speak to your faith in the God of our fathers.

Commanded to Love – March 3, 2018 Introduction : Following Jesus -> John’s account of the Last Supper (ch13-17) Big Idea : If we love Jesus, we must love each other. Scripture : John 13:1-14:24 (CSB) John 13:1-11 (CSB) Before the Passover Festival, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. Now when it was time for supper, the devil had already put it into the heart of Judas, Simon Iscariot’s son, to betray him. Jesus knew that the Father had given everything into his hands, that he had come from God, and that he was going back to God. So he got up from supper, laid aside his outer clothing, took a towel, and tied it around himself. Next, he poured water into a basin and began to wash his disciples’ feet and to dry them with the towel tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who asked him, “Lord, are you going to wash my feet?” Jesus answered him, “What I’m doing you don

You Are My Witnesses – November 18, 2015

Today’s Translation : Holman Christian Standard Bible | Weekly Video : The Blind Will See (Isaiah 43:8-13) ““You are My witnesses”— this is the Lord’s declaration— “and My servant whom I have chosen, so that you may know and believe Me and understand that I am He. No god was formed before Me, and there will be none after Me.” – Isaiah 43:10 Live It Out! The only answer to the darkness of this world is the light of Christ. Just as God called out Israel to be His witnesses during their time in exile, He is calling us out in our exile. This world is not our home. Let us stay focused on heaven above while telling people about what Jesus has done in our lives. God is in control, and He loves us as His own children, so there is no reason to worry about the future. from Paradigm Shift Ministries http://ift.tt/1MUosaW via IFTTT
