But since I was worse than anyone else, God had mercy on me and let me be an example of the endless patience of Christ Jesus. He did this so that others would put their faith in Christ and have eternal life. -1 Timothy 1:16
To have faith is to be sure of the things we hope for, to be certain of the things we cannot see. - Hebrews 11:1
Be strong in the Lord and in His mighty power. - Ephesians 6:10 We come now to the last week of our 40 days of growth. I pray that we won’t stop here with our regular times of studying the word and prayer but continue in the good habit we have begun.
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. - Ephesians 5:1,2 I would love to hear how you are finding the 40 days of growth through Ephesians. I am praying that the above verse will be a great challenge to all of us. In the last 2 weeks we focus on family relationships – Marriage & Parenting. Our prayer supper this week will focus on prayer for the families in Claremont and next Sunday (15th) is Fathers’ day. Our prayer is that God will renew our family relationships.
