This Week | July 1-7
July 3 | The Pursuit of Grace In the Midst of Suffering
Sunday’s Message – In today’s world, many individuals are suffering emotionally, mentally, and/or physically. In response to this suffering, the Body of Christ is called to display unconditional grace and compassion in a manner modeled to us by Jesus Christ, in many of his interactions documented in the New Testament. In displaying unconditional grace, we as followers of Christ display one of the unique characteristics of our faith. Likewise, this intercession serves to surround and support those that are suffering to bolster their faith in the midst of suffering. In some cases, this may lead to spiritual healing and an understanding “that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose (Romans 8:28).”
Weekly Fighter Verse – When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man. Son, your sins are forgiven.– Mark 2:5
We want EVERYONE to participate in this challenge of reading through the New Testament in just 40 days. You can listen to it, read individually, as a family, couple, or however works best for you, but we challenge you to commit! If you haven’t already, pick up a printed bookmark with the reading plan at church or you can access and save it right HERE as well. Let’s do this together!
