November 22, 2024 • James 1:2–4, 1 Peter 2:1–3, Ephesians 3:20

MINISTRY MOMENT We grow in our faith and spiritual maturity by being stretched by God. What stretching is He doing in your life right now? Are you allowing Him to stretch you? PRAYER POINT "Father, am I allowing You to stretch and grow me? Help me to not become stagnant in my faith. I want to continue to grow and know You more. Tune my ear to hear Your voice. In Jesus’ name, Amen!" GOING DEEPER Read and study James 1:2-4, 1 Peter 2:1-3, and Ephesians 3:20.

Ep. 389 - The Main Thing!

November 21, 2024 • Ephesians 2, 2 Corinthians 5

MINISTRY MOMENT Have there been ways you have put more thought and intentionality into the titles/things you do instead of who Jesus made you to be? Your God-given identity matters MUCH more than the title you hold here on earth. Your identity has an eternal meaning! PRAYER POINT “God, remind me of my identity in You. Bring me back to a place of encouragement not in the things I do, but in who You created me to be and see me as. Thank You for being my Father and creating me so intentionally, thoughtfully, and specifically. I want to live from a deeply rooted understanding of my identity in You! In Jesus’ name, Amen.” GOING DEEPER Read and study Ephesians 2 and 2 Corinthians 5. WALK IT OUT What things have you placed in importance or held higher in your mind that have been taking over your identity (school, work, parenting, failures, successes, etc.)? Write down a list of who God says you are (go into the Word and find them!). Each day, repeat the list out loud to yourself to remind you of your identity in God! SHARE WITH OTHERS Tell others about where your identity lies and how they are seen the same way through Christ! It’s not about what you do but who God made you to be - His children!
