Corinthians

WEEKLY MEDITATION 5-11 JANUARY 2015

As you begin this week we ask that you meditate on the following scriptures and how they apply to your life and your growing relationship with the Lord.

“Faith means being sure of the things we hope for an knowing that something is real even if we do not see it….it is by faith we understand that the whole world was made by God’s command so what we see was made by something that cannot be seen….without faith no one can please God. Any who comes to God must believe that he is real and that he rewards those who truly want to find him.” (Hebrews 11:1,3,6)

“The Good News shows how God makes people right with himself-that it begins and ends with faith. As the Scripture says, “but those who are right with God will live by trusting in him” “. (Romans 1:17)

“We have troubles all around us, but we are not defeated. We do not know what to do, but we do not give up the hope of living. We are persecuted, but God does not leave us. We are hurt sometimes, but we are not destroyed….So we do not give up. Our physical body is becoming older and weaker, but our spirit inside us is made new every day. We have small troubles for a while now, but they are helping us gain an eternal glory that is much greater than the troubles. We set our eyes not on what we see but on what we cannot see.” (2 Corinthians 4:8-9, 16-18)

WEEKLY MEDITATION 8 -14 DECEMBER 2014

During this Advent season, we ask that you meditate on the following scriptures, how they apply to your life and your growing relationship with the Lord.

“Serve wholeheartedly, as if you were serving the Lord, not men” (Ephesians 6:7)

“Acknowledge the God of your father, and serve him with the wholehearted devotion and with a willing mind, for the Lord searches every heart and understand every motive behind the thoughts. If you seek him, he will be found by you; but if you forsake him, he will reject you forever. (1Chronicles 28:9)

“What ever you do, work at it with all your heart, as working for the Lord, not for men, since you know that you will receive an inheritance from the Lord as a reward. It is the Lord Christ you are serving” (Colossians 3:23-24)

 

WEEKLY MEDITATION 27 OCT – 2 NOV 2014

As you begin this week, we ask that you meditate on the following scriptures and how they apply to your life and your growing relationship with the Lord.

“People should think of us as servants of Christ, the ones God has trusted with his secrets. Now in this way those who are trusted with something valuable must show they are worthy of that trust. As for myself, I do not care if I am judged by you or by any human court. I do not even judge myself….The Lord is the One who judges me.” (1 Corinthians 4:1-4)

“Do not let anyone treat you as if you are unimportant because you are young. Instead, be an example to the believers with your words, your actions, your love, your faith, and your pure life.” (1 Timothy 4:12)

“You have begun to live the new life, in which you are being made new and are becoming like the One who made you. This new life brings you the knowledge of God. In the new life there is no difference between Greeks and Jews….or those who are foreigners, or Scythians. There is no difference between slaves and free people. But Christ is in all believers, and Christ is all that is important” (Colossians 3:10-11)
