The Community of Grace

This Sunday we talked about the community of grace, as we continued together in our study of Galatians.  We learned from Galatians 6:6-10 that the community of grace should:


- Hold high the teaching of God's Word and its teachers
- Sow and invest our lives into God the Holy Spirit
- Recognize and act upon the opportunities God gives us to do good


We closed our time together with Paul's words to Titus, which would be a great verse to study and meditate on this week:


"For the grace of God has appeared, bringing salvation for all people,  training us to renounce ungodliness and worldly passions, and to live self-controlled, upright, and godly lives in the present age,  waiting for our blessed hope, the appearing of the glory of our great God and Savior Jesus Christ,  who gave himself for us to redeem us from all lawlessness and to purify for himself a people for his own possession who are zealous for good works." (Titus 2:11-14)


I pray that Old North would be "zealous for good works" this week, as we continue in connection with God, each other, and our communities.


Have a great week!


Chris
