Go in peace, serve the Lord. Thanks be to God!
Grace comes into our lives unexpectedly, since we do not earn it. This message does not come with the strings attached to serve others, but what else would we do once we've been freed from the power of sin, death, and the devil?
Paul starts out, "Throw yourself into this work for Christ." In the NIV it reads, "Be strong in the grace of Christ." Build up the faith you need to live this life, but also use that strength to help others join you in The Way.
"Concentrate on doing your best for God, work you won't be ashamed of, laying out the truth plain and simple."
We did that last week. The question remains: can we do it this week? next week? how about all year until the next mission trip?
One last verse worth lifting up, "Run after mature righteousness—faith, love, peace—joining those who are in honest and serious prayer before God."
Please keep Jaime in your prayers. Let's run this race together.
