God has spoken through His Word directly to us today. As we respond in obedience to these verses, how will it calm us and bring needed perspective? https://t.co/KYAw07cwkY
This has been a week.
As we go into a hunkered-down weekend, I curated this playlist for @TGC: “Songs of Comfort for Anxious Souls.”
This weekend, turn off the news and turn up the music. https://t.co/wR3rVL517W
"Greatness comes from serving the Lord, not from serving ourselves. Greatness comes when we, like John, say, 'We must decrease; Jesus must increase' … The prophet of salvation never replaces the bringer of salvation."—Thabiti Anyabwile
After talking about the deity and humanity of Christ through the lens of His genealogy last week, #AdvanceKids will dive into the New Testament beginning with John the Baptist this Sunday!
"The birth of John was designed to open the eyes and ears of Israel, but the birth of Jesus was designed to open their mouths agape and their hearts anew to the gospel message He would proclaim." https://t.co/EIO5xHGkuU
"The Holy Spirit, through Matthew, is careful to connect what follows with what precedes. All of the Bible is one big story of God’s plan to redeem people through Jesus Christ." Check out this week's leader training for preschool and kids. https://t.co/SFgvzeoJn2
Jesus the Messiah begins Sunday! Jesus came to earth as a human. Jesus had earthly parents, Mary and Joseph, but His true Father is God. Through Jesus, God kept His promises to Abraham and David. Jesus saves people from their sins and adopts them into God’s family.
"We are proclamation people. We speak God’s truth. We open our homes to friends and neighbors, telling them about Jesus who came to save sinners." https://t.co/Hb3kC2KcUr
This week in #AdvanceKids: Malachi told about another messenger God would send. This messenger, John the Baptist, would call people to repent and get them ready for a final Messenger, Jesus Christ.... #thegospelprojectkids#Christconnection
"The beauty of the gospel is that it all depends on God. What we cannot do, God has done. We cannot be holy, but in Christ we are declared holy because we have been credited with Christ’s righteousness." https://t.co/Oc5JKrhB60
"Like Israel and like most of the people that we hear mentioned in the Scriptures, it takes a repeated process for us to learn to hate our sin the way that we should." @jenniferwilkin
Remind your kids that God's people rebuilt the temple so they would have a place to worship God. Years later, God sent His Son, Jesus, to be with His people. Jesus provided something better than the temple; He gives us Himself.
It is never what you do for God that is your hope's resting place, but rather the miracle of all that he graciously, patiently and faithfully has done, is doing and will continue to do for you.
This photo was taken by an @Acts29 pastor near their church in the Southern Highlands, NSW. Would you join us in praying for rain and for those affected by bushfires around Australia right now? 🙏🏽
