Song Of The Week

This week I went to Girls night in and the subject was self hate/ injury. Needless to say it was a very intense subject. If you are cutting/burning or hurting yourself in anyway… I REALLY encourage you to listen to this song!  This song has helped many get through their injury problems. This song is telling you that you are not worthless and Jesus shed his blood for you so you don’t have to. Jesus was mocked, spat on, accused of doing something he didn’t do, beaten, whipped, gambled on, and killed for a reason. He did that just for YOU! He did all of that for you. He went through all that trouble so you don’t have to. So hurting yourself isn’t going to help fulfill what he did for you.  So PLEASE again, if you or someone you know is hurting themselves, please listen to this song, it is called You Are More by Tenth Avenue North…http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cgi-G-dHYkY

Home Study March 12 through 17, 2012

Monday – Read Ephesians 2:1-10

Why is it important to remember that we are saved by grace through faith in Jesus and not by works?

However, God has prepared good works for us to do. How can we know what works He created us to do?

Take time to pray for God to reveal or affirm the works He would have you do in His church and kingdom.

 

Tuesday – Read Romans 12:1-2

What does it mean to “offer your bodies as living sacrifices?”

Why is this important?

To be a living sacrifice implies more than a one-time event, how can we live a lifestyle of sacrifice?

How does this passage challenge you? How will you respond?

 

Wednesday – Read Romans 12:3-8

By what measure should we consider how we live for Jesus?

Why is it important to use the proper measure?

What can happen if we use the wrong measure?

Why is it important for every believer to know and use their spiritual gifts?

How does this challenge you? What will you do?

 

Thursday – Read I Corinthians 12:27-31

Who gives us the spiritual gifts that we receive?

How does God intend for all of the gifts to work together?

How do these different gifts make us dependent on one another to fulfill the work that God has given us?

 

Friday – Read Ephesians 4:11-16

What is God’s purpose for the spiritual gifts He gives us?

How does the operation of each gift allow us to mature in Jesus?

How important is each gift to the Christ’s church and kingdom?

How does this passage challenge you? How will you respond?
