Today's Lesson: Come and See: Why the World Should Praise Our God, Part I

On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Sheryl Daughety discuss the following questions:

As we invite the world to praise God, we need to tell the story of how we were set free from sin. How was the sin of your life like the ugly dross in impure silver?

When you were brought out of sin were there events in your life that served as a hunters net that held you down, so to speak, so that God could free you from sin?

How was your past sin like slavery? How did it brutalize, abuse, and break your back?

Who were some of the leaders that God raised up to bring you out of sin? After you accepted Christ, did you have to go through a season of "fire and flood" in order to get free from sin?

How do these things show the world they should praise our God?

The reading for the day is Psalm 66:1-12 .

Today's Lesson: You Can't Have One without the Other

On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Sheryl Daughety discuss the following questions:

Some believers would say they have great faith that God can forgive any sin. Yet those same believers struggle to believe that God will provide for their daily needs. Why is it easier to believe for forgiveness than it is to believe for provision?

In theory, forgiveness is greater than provision. Do you think that our lack of faithful provision implies that we minimize forgiveness because we minimize our sins?

The reading for the day is Psalm 65:9-13.

How would it change the way you work if you saw your job has a vehicle to share the gospel?

Why do you think it is difficult for us to imagine Paul in a manual labor job? Why do we separate manual labor from our spiritual assignment to preach the gospel?

The reading for the day is 1 Thessalonians 1.

The reading for the day is Colossians 4.

Today's Lesson: Benefits of the Gospel of Grace

On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Jay Rivenbark discuss the following questions:

What do you think it means to live the Christian life in the already and then not yet?

Paul talks as if we have already made it to heaven while we are still waiting to get there. Do you always feel like heaven is that certain? If so, why or why not?

The reading for the day is Colossians 3.

Today's Lesson: The Effects of a Gospel of Merits

On this edition of One Single Story, Pastors Stephen Mizell and Jay Rivenbark discuss the following questions:

What are some things / actions that some people think are sin and other people think are legalism?

For those things that are legalistic, how might those things challenge the Lordship of Jesus? How might they rob God of glory and the Christian of enjoyment? How do those things cater to the flesh, or create a works – based merit system in people's lives?

The reading for the day is Colossians 2.
