One Step at a Time

“I appeal to you therefore, brothers, by the mercies of God, to present your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God, which is your spiritual worship.

EPHESIANS 1.14 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ!

No Longer Orphans

Garrett ended Sunday with 10 implications of our adoption into the family of God. I simply want to restate them as a reminder of the enormous gift we have been given in Jesus Christ. ONE | We are free from the orphan’s burden to be good enough to receive God’s favor. God’s favor rests on […]

EPHESIANS 1.5-6 But now the righteousness of God has been manifested apart from the law, although the Law and the Prophets bear witness to it—the righteousness of God through faith in Jesus Christ for all who believe.

Tune my Heart to sing Thy Grace

Come, thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing thy grace; streams of mercy, never ceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Come Thou Fount has been one of my favorite hymns. Part of this was because in an organ-only worship environment, it was one of the only songs that had a rhythm […]

EPHESIANS 1.7-10 But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so […]

I Once was Blind, but now I See

T’was Grace that taught my heart to fear. And Grace, my fears relieved. How precious did that Grace appear the hour I first believed. As we sang Amazing Grace this Sunday, this verse jumped out at me. It was one of those things you have heard a thousand times, that hits you on the one […]

EPHESIANS 1.1-4 And we know that for those who love God all things work together for good, for those who are called according to his purpose. For those whom he foreknew he also predestined to be conformed to the image of his Son, in order that he might be the firstborn among many brothers. And […]
