Work hard for sin your whole life and your pension is death. But God’s gift is real life, eternal life, delivered by Jesus, our Master. —Romans 6.23 The Message Bible

Living It Out This Week

Sin separates. Sin causes the conflicts between people and our conflict with Christ. May these verses help you to see God and to repent of your sins as you become aware.

Sunday-Hosea 5.1-14: The role sin of the people, leaders and priest in making the nation who they were is easy to see. However, spend some time reflecting on your sin and relationship with Christ.

Monday-1 Samuel 13.1-15: What was the sin of King Saul? What was the consequence of his sin? May we see our own sin this day and go to Jesus for the forgiveness of sin.

Tuesday-2 Chronicles 28.1-27: Some of the historical background to Hosea can be found in these verses. What do you notice going on which helps to see Hosea clearly?

Wednesday-Romans 1.18-32: Paul tells us the results of a hardened heart; God gives us what we want. This only produces more sin and more darkness. Pray for our community, state, nation and world.

Thursday-Romans 6.23: Though just one first there is a big power and promise in these words. Notice the natural result of sin will be death. Yet, there is a promise about eternal life not being from ourselves but from Christ. Praise Jesus for the gift of salvation.

Friday-1 John 1.5-2.2: What truths does the Apostle John give us in these verses? In order to get some of the promises what must we do? Sin is powerful but Christ is greater than any sin. We must trust Jesus!

Saturday-Hosea 5.15-6.1-10: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to church.
