Week 2 - God's Masterpiece
This week, we continue on the series "Who Do You Think You Are?"
Ps. Ron Flynn preaches on how we are designed to walk in communion with God. We are created for Godʼs purpose and God uses everything in our life to bring about His purpose. Are we going to believe the lies of the devil or the word of God?
“Once you were dead because of your disobedience and your many sins. You used to live in sin, just like the rest of
the world, obeying the devil—the commander of the powers in the unseen world. He is the spirit at work in the hearts of those who refuse to obey God. All of us used to live that way, following the passionate desires and inclinations of our sinful nature. By our very nature we were subject to Godʼs anger, just like everyone else. But God is so rich in mercy, and he loved us so much, that even though we were dead because of our sins, he gave us life when he raised Christ from the dead. (It is only by Godʼs grace that you have been saved!)”
“God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you canʼt take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are Godʼs masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.”
Ephesians 2:1-5, 8-10 NLT
“You made all the delicate, inner parts of my body and knit me together in my motherʼs womb. Thank you for making me so wonderfully complex! Your workmanship is marvellous—how well I know it. You watched me as I was being formed in utter seclusion, as I was woven together in the dark of the womb. You saw me before I was born. Every day of my life was recorded in your book. Every moment was laid out before a single day had passed.”
“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.”
“So I did as he told me and found the potter working at his wheel. But the jar he was making did not turn out as he had hoped, so he crushed it into a lump of clay again and started over.”
“And I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day when Christ Jesus returns.”
