Getting a glimpse of God's holiness would be the ruin of us if not for the grace of God.

God's new community is a family. Not perfect, but destined to grow and develop into Christlike maturity.

As Paul answers four criticisms of his ministry among the Corinthians, he shows us the difference between being a true leader and a false, or fake, leader. We can learn not only how to choose true leaders to follow, but also how to be good leaders.

We all want to be a part of something important. We want to see God's power released. Paul challenges us to look in unexpected places and live in unexpected ways.

Aligning ourselves to God's truth through faith and repentance leads to life.

The ripple effect of God's grace in our lives is the amazing experience of investing in God's mission. When we entrust God with the resources he has given us, He multiplies our giving for the benefit of the world and for His glory. Our generosity shows the world our generous God.

When Jesus becomes priority one, His Lordship influences every area of our lives including our financial giving. We can seek to excel in this act of grace too.

In 1 Samuel 17, we find a familiar story that should encourage all of us to go deeper in worship as we face the giants of this life. For it is in presence and character of our Lord that we will ultimately find our victory.

God has given us a sacred privilege. He so wants to be with us that for those who believe in him he has made us his place of residence. Holy.

God is compassionate and cares for His people, especially those that are disadvantaged. With correction and promise, God brings to light His desire for us to exercise justice and hospitality. As we let our light shine in caring for others and especially those who are vulnerable, God promises a bright future.
