Why would you look to others for your identity when Jesus has purchased your acceptance as a child of the Father?
Will you set your heart today on things that cannot satisfy or rest your heart on the eternally satisfying love of Jesus?
The DNA of joy is thankfulness. Have you noticed that entitled, complaining people don't happen to be very joyful?
Envy denies grace. The assumption of envy is that you deserve what another has been given, when in fact you and I deserve nothing.
If the story of your life is the chronicle of underserved favor, why would you boast or act like you're better than someone else?
If you look into the mirror of God's Word and see someone in need of grace, why would you be impatient with others who share that need?
Where is hope to be found? In six life-altering words, "I will be with you always."
Hope is not a thing, not a location, not a situation, not an experience. Hope is a person and his name is Jesus.
Today you can give way to fear producing "What ifs...?" or rest in the sovereign care of your wise and gracious Savior King.
If you underestimate the power of remaining sin, you'll under value your need for forgiving, rescuing, transforming grace.
By yourself you don't have what it takes to live in this broken world, that's why God hasn't left you to yourself.
Corporate worship is designed to expose your false hope and introduce you to the true hope that is Jesus.
Being a sinner means you have the perverse ability to look at what God says is horrible and see something attractive-for this there's grace.
