I John 4:15 – I Confess, Jesus Changed My Life

This Week’s Theme: Faith That Works – by Ken Turner, July 2, 2018

I John 4:15

Whoever confesses that Jesus is the Son of God, God abides in him, and he in God.

Thought for today…

Are you living in with a full commitment of faith in Jesus Christ? Do you genuinely believe that Jesus is who He says He is? He is the Son of God. God abides in Him. He abides in God. He is the only source of salvation. He is the door to unlock a personal relationship with God and attain heaven.  Your faith in Christ is shown to the world when you believe it enough to confess it (admit it, talk about it) to your friends, family, and acquaintances. Are you a messenger of the gospel to those around you? It’s time to start confessing Christ to the world.

Colossians 1:10 – Fully Please God

This Week’s Theme: Faith That Works – by Ken Turner, June 28, 2018

Colossians 1:10

That you may walk worthy of the Lord, fully pleasing Him, being fruitful in every good work and increasing in the knowledge of God;

Thought for today…

The goal is to “fully please God” and be “fruitful in every good work.” Too often we are satisfied with “partially pleasing God” and being “fruitful in some of our good works.” What is keeping you from going all in with your commitment to Him? Here’s a suggestion. The third part of today’s verse may give the missing piece in your spiritual progress. Continue to “increase in the knowledge of God.” Get into the word and see how much more you desire to be fully committed to Him.

Ephesians 2:10 – We Are His Workmanship

This Week’s Theme: Faith That Works – by Ken Turner, June 27, 2018

Ephesians 2:10

For we are His workmanship, created in Christ Jesus for good works, which God prepared beforehand that we should walk in them.

Thought for today…

God transforms the lives of those who place their faith in Him through Christ. He continues to shape His children for the work. He has purposed them to do. You were “handmade” by God, gifted and skilled for specific works. Are you pursuing His will and following His plan for you?

James 2:20 – Effective Faith

This Week’s Theme: Faith That Works – by Ken Turner, June 26, 2018

James 2:18, 20

But someone will say, “You have faith, and I have works.” Show me your faith without your works, and I will show you my faith by my works. But wilt thou know, O vain man, that faith without works is dead?

Thought for today…

Jesus made clear this truth about our faith and our works. Our Salvation in Christ is not faith “by” works, but it is faith “that” works. Your faith in Christ should have changed you, and it should be continually changing you into His image.

Matthew 5:16 – Is Your Faith Working?

This Week’s Theme: Faith That Works – by Ken Turner, June 25, 2018

Matthew 5:16

Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.

Thought for today…

You’ve heard that “Man looks on the outward appearance, but God looks on the heart.” Both parts of this statement are correct. God looks at the heart. But man looks at our works and actions. Those among us are looking at believers every day to see if Christ has the power to change our lives. Let’s live out our faith, so others see that Christ makes all the difference.
