Living It Out This Week
There are many types of learning but regardless we must put to practice what we learn. God’s people don’t just hear the Word and we must live it out. May these verses help you live out God’s Word with grace, compassion and love.

Sunday-James 1.19-27: What do you “hear” in this passage? What did you “hear” in the sermon? Now the hard task of doing what was heard. Spend a few minutes planning how you will live out the love of Jesus this week.

Monday-Luke 8.1-15: Which soil are you today? What type of soil are those you interact with? Ask for discernment to know the truth. As you start your week may you be the “good soil” and allow the great Gardener sow into your life?

Tuesday-Amos 5.1-17: The prophet was concerned with how the nation lived out their “choseness” of God; not just where they went to worship. We must be careful to not let outward acts of worship be a substitute for a heart and life of worship.

Wednesday-Matthew 12.33-37: Jesus gives us a hard statement about words. Our speech reveals a lot about what is going on inside. What do your words reveal?

Thursday-Isaiah1.10-20: Right worship is not what is done on Sunday but what is done throughout the week: justice, compassion, grace, and truth. There is a reward: the good things of God.

Friday-Ephesians 4.20-5.2: We are made new in Christ, which means new living. What is the Spirit telling you to take off? Put on? Reflect on how you showed the way of love this week? Where do you want to show it next week?

Saturday-James 2.1-13: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to be with you in church.
