Our Only Hope | Sep. 2nd

“For by grace you have been saved through faith. And this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God, not a result of works, so that no one may boast.”

  Ephesians 2:8-9

   Beloved, let us live in the light of these verses daily. For within them we find the Gospel and the hope of grace for daily living.

  It is a constant reminder of our need for Christ and the salvation we have in Him. We cannot boast in anything before conversion, and there is never a place for boasting after the new life in Jesus. Works cannot save us, and works do not guarantee our eternal life. It is Christ alone.

  Those who labor for the Lord do not stand upon what they have done; Jesus Christ is the only cornerstone and capstone. The grace of God guards us from pride and self-righteousness. It encourages us and works humility in our hearts before the Lord and others.

  Let us trust in the grace of God alone, which has saved us but keeps us as well.

In Christ Alone.

RSVP | Sep. 1st

 “The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who hears say, ‘Come.’ And let the one who is thirsty come; let the one who desires take the water of life without price.”

   Revelation 22:17

   Beloved, the Lord is high and holy, but His mercy is no less. Our sins are as scarlet, but His atonement has removed the guilt and shame. Therefore, let not doubts keep you from receiving the invitation.

   We cannot and dare not come on our own merit. Christ has called us by name, and so we come to a table that has been prepared for us. He has set the place where you shall be seated. He has made provision, and there shall be no want at the table of God.

   Let us hear the call of God today. Let us come to the table of His word and receive all that we need according to the promises of God. The invitation still stands, do not delay and come. The Lord would not invite you unless He has already provided for you and desires you to be present.

In Christ Alone.

Noticed by God | Aug 15th

 “For God is not unjust so as to overlook your work and the love that you have shown for his name in serving the saints, as you still do.”

   Hebrews 6:10

   The deeds of kindness that we do in the name of the Lord for His people do not go unnoticed. Let us be reminded that whatever we do for the lord is never in vain. As you desire to be a blessing to others because of your love for God and the body of Christ, know that the Lord sees it all.

   There may be times when you will become weary in well-doing, feel alone, or unappreciated. Do not become disheartened; rather, fix your eyes upon the Lord. Remember His kindness towards you and how faithful God has been in your life. Seek His approval and renewed strength. The Lord will help you and notice all that you are doing for Him, both in public and in secret, for the benefit of His children.

 Rest in the favor of God. By His grace, you shall hear, “ Well done, good and faithful servant, enter into your rest.”

In Christ Alone.
