1 Chronicles 3-4

Psalm 36

WEEKEND REFLECTION

Blessed is the one whose transgression is forgiven, whose sin is covered. - Psalm 32:1 

What an encouraging truth. This verse does not say, blessed is the one who never sins! Of course, such a one would certainly be blessed, but the reality is that we all sin. David was a sinner. He did not deserve the kindness and favor of God. He did not deserve to have his sins forgiven. And neither do we. 

But we are still blessed. We still, even though we are sinners, have cause for great rejoicing. Why? Because in Jesus Christ, our transgressions are forgiven, and our sins are covered by his atoning work. 

Friend, as bad as your sin is, the work of Christ is sufficient. Let’s turn to Jesus and be blessed forever in him, as those whose sins are forgiven. 

PRAY

For the months of July and August in our Daily Worship we will be praying through our Five Loves during the week and our Mission and Vision statements on the weekend.  

To be a vibrant, healthy family of Christ-like believers proclaiming a cross-centered gospel, living cross-centered lives. 

By "cross-centered" we mean that we strive to keep the truth of the gospel central in all that we do. It is central to what we proclaim, (our doctrine), and it is central to how we live, (our culture). As believers who have been adopted into God’s family through Jesus Christ, we aspire to be a church that consistently proclaims the gospel that has saved us and consistently lives in a manner that reflects our love for Christ, one another, and our neighbors. 

• Pray that God would keep you and our church always rooted and grounded in God’s word. 

• Pray that God would help you and our church to live in way that is consistent with what we believe. 

• Ask God to make us a “vibrant, healthy family of Christ-like believers” who love one another. 

• Pray for God to grow our church spiritually by his word and his Spirit.
