God at Work! 


Here is a little project for us this week.  As you read through Ephesians, take note of all the works God did, is doing or will do, as revealed in Ephesians. I was shocked at just how much He is doing.  One little hint; remember Ephesians 2:10 as you read chapters 4-6.  What are the “good works” of God that He has done, is doing or will do through us? 

Take special note also of two key components of His work: 1. It is according to HIS will, and 2. It is done by His power, strength and might!

I was blown away by just how much God is doing in me and in His other children. It definitely brought praise and thanksgiving to my heart.  It also motivated me to;  Do the works of God because God is working in me with the strength of His might!

I’ll try to give a summary of all God did, is doing and will do at the end of the week.  Maybe you can list some works of God you see revealed in your life this week below in the comments section?

I do admit that the current quarantine advisements from the White House have provided me with some much-overdue time with my family. I am, however, concerned about the destructive impact this could have on the church. What should be our perspective on the local church right now? What is our responsibility toward bel

  Romans 3:1-18 Answers Questions to Go Deeper “Then” is translated “therefore” by some translations.  “Therefore” best points to the Greek text.  What would Paul be referencing with with “therefore”? His previous discourse on the Jewish person’s state of condemnation despite their identity as Jews. Based on Paul’s answer in verse 2 He knows the answer to the two questions before he asks them.  Why would he use these two questions? Who would he be speaking for in the two questions? Paul is giving the hypothetical Jewish critics questions.  If there was absolutely no advantage or benefit Jews over Gentiles, then what would be the answer to the answer to the two questions?  However, what is the answer (2)? He would have to say there is no advantage or benefit.  But he says the opposite…Great in every respect. What does the phrase “first of all” imply about the advantages or benefits?  How many advantages are listed (2)?  Where is the list completed (hint Romans
