Give, Get Blessed

In everything I showed you that by working hard in this manner you must help the weak and remember the words of the Lord, Jesus, that He Himself said, “It is more blessed to give than to receive.”

Acts 20:35

God Will Take Care Of You

Are not five sparrows sold for two cents?  Yet not one of them is forgotten before God.  Indeed the very hairs of your head are all numbered.  Do not fear; you are more valuable than many sparrows.

Luke 12:6-7

Not Because We Are Good, Because Jesus Is Good

It is a trustworthy statement, deserving full acceptance, that Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners, among whom I am foremost of all.  Yet for this reason I found mercy, so that in me as the foremost, Jesus Christ might demonstrate His perfect patience as an example for those who would believe in Him for eternal life.

 

1 Timothy 1:15-16

It's Not What We Look Like, It's the Message

John the Baptist appeared in the wilderness preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sin.

And all the country of Judea was going out to him, and all the people of Jerusalem: and they were being baptized by him in the Jordan River, confessing their sins.

John was clothed with camel’s hair and wore a leather belt around his waist, and his diet was locusts and wild honey.

And he was preaching and saying, “After me One is coming who is mightier than I, and I am not fit to stoop down and untie the thong of His sandals.

I baptize you with water, but He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.

In those days Jesus came from Nazareth in Galilee and was baptized by John in the Jordan.

Mark 1:4-9

Care For Each Other

Bear one another’s burdens, and thereby fulfill the law of Christ.

Galatians 6:2

A New Body

But our citizenship is in heaven, and from it we await a Savior, the Lord Jesus Christ, who will transform our lowly body to be like his glorious body, by the power that enables him even to subject all things to himself.

Philippians 3:20-21
