Do you like receiving critique and correction? Me, neither. But God offers us loving correction that draws us closer to the beauty He intends and, when we do it right, the correction we give and receive each other can do the same.
Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“With what attitude should we pray?”). How do we approach talking with God?
Even when we have the truth, we need to figure out how to convey it in love. Conveying truth in love involves caring about how the person we’re speaking to will hear it because of how we say it and when we say it.
When we’re ready to accuse others of missing the mark of righteousness, are we prepared to explore the differences between ourselves and the righteous person too?
Pastor Tim helps us think about the next question in the New City Catechism (“How does the Holy Spirit help us?”) as we continue to explore how God the Holy Spirit helps us.
We constantly seek to strive for the better position in society, but what if we stopped trying to see ourselves as important and instead saw ourselves humbly?
Seeking wise counsel that will lead us closer to the Lord is at the heart of helping good leaders and being good leaders.
Pastor Tim provides an update about our new sermon series and special Sunday school class tonight along with a brief look at our next catechism question (“Since we are redeemed by grace alone, through faith alone, where does this faith come from?”) and accompanying Scripture.
As we continue to explore what good leadership looks like, the next verse in Proverbs 25 helps clue us in: God values virtuous curiosity that neither seeks to needlessly cause trouble nor values stability over truth.
Pastor Tim takes us to the question “Since we are redeemed by grace alone, through Christ alone, must we still do good works and obey God’s Word?” from the New City Catechism. We all need to think about what it means to have faith in the only one who can offer us true salvation.
