This kind of devotion only comes out of a clear understanding of the Grace God has given.

Ephesians 2:8-22

It is by Grace you have been saved. So that we can be one in Christ! Devoted to each other.

Ephesians 5:1 Be imitators of God, therefore, as dearly loved children and live a life of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God

This is the WHY. This is the reason we are devoted. It is because of what Jesus has done for us.

We are all called to be in the journey of discipling others and being discipled. Who is teaching you and who are you teaching. Listen to this weeks message taught by Tawnya Mathers from Acts 2:42

They devoted themselves to the apostles’ teaching and to fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

John 15:5
“I am the vine; you are the branches. If you remain in me and I in you, you will bear much fruit; apart from me you can do nothing.

If we aren’t rooted in God’s love, we’ll live missionaly to prove ourselves, to find our identity, to find our purpose. If we are rooted in God, missional living is the overflow.

“Praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.”

Thanks for listening to this weeks message where we talk about how the church lives out the presence, love, and mission of Jesus, it earns favor with people and opens hearts to the gospel. Hope you enjoy.
