Living It Out This Week

We are capable of good, yes. But we are capable of great evil. Our present world, and history, shows us this truth. Sin comes not from outside but from what is on the inside. May these verses help guard you against sin this week.
Sunday-James 1.13-18: There is good news among the troubling truth of sin being in us. We must guard against allowing our hearts lead us astray. One solution—focus on the giver of all good gifts. How will you focus on Jesus this week?
Monday-Mathew 15.1-20: Jesus has some tough words for the leaders of his day, and us today. Where does Jesus say sin comes from? What solution does he give? May Jesus have your heart this week.
Tuesday-Psalm 51.1-19: David gives us a glimpse at how he dealt with sin—by going to the Lord. He asks for cleansing from the sin within and without. Pray a prayer asking for cleansing from sin this day.
Wednesday-John 1.1-14: Jesus is full of grace and truth; just what we need. We need his truth to see things from his point of view. We need His eyes!
Thursday-1 Corinthians 10.11-13: God is faithful! Even in our temptation and struggles with evil desires God provides. Take time to notice how God has provided in your past struggles.
Friday-1 Corinthians 3.10-15: God rewards us for being faithful and obeying him. This is not a bribe to do something but a gift for bringing Him joy. How we live matters to God, and our world.
Saturday-James 1.19-27: 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.
