12/06          Ephesians 2:8-9

God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can’t 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.

Jesus is Lord and He will set you free.

Focus on Jesus.

Christ has set us free, and you are free indeed.

Choose this day whom you will follow. 

Choose Jesus.  He is the way, the truth and the life.

Focus on Jesus.

CALL

We are called ones.
We have a call from God.
Our call is Godly living.
Live like Jesus. 
Read the red letters.
Jesus clearly calls us to a new ethic.
Love one another, surrender self, maintain a lifestyle of humility.

The Lord calls us to relationship.  
God is first.  
Life is hard but God equips us to survive in life.  
Jesus is Lord, claim Him, serve Him-He is the way.

TURN

The Bible tells us we are to be different than the world.  Are you?  Jesus is Lord.  

God’s grace has come to us.

We lived in a dark place.  

God’s grace is provided for us in Jesus Christ.  

Claim His gift to you, God’s grace and family, eternal life for you.  

All we need is in Jesus.  

His way is the way we are to go.  HE is Lord.

But my life is worth nothing to me unless I use it for finishing the work assigned me by the Lord Jesus—the work of telling others the Good News about the wonderful grace of God.

TELL

NOV. 27 – ROMANS 5:21
