Weekly Update - May 23 , 2021

| 5.23.21 |

This Sunday, Rayshawn Graves will be beginning our new series in Romans 8 titled, “If God is For Us” . This week’s passage will be Romans 7:14-8:2 . Last week’s sermon can be heard here. If you’re planning to watch online check us out this week on Facebook Live Sunday morning at 10:30am

We want to encourage you to take a moment this week as you prepare for our time together on Sunday by reading and praying through the passages. 

Consider thinking through these four questions as you read and pray. 

  1. How can I adore God from this passage?

  2. What sin does this passage lead me to confess?

  3. How does this passage help me to thank Jesus?

  4. From this passage, in what ways can I ask God's Spirit to help me this week?

Weekly Resources

Here are some resources that our elders recommend checking out this week. Please feel free to use them as discipleship opportunities to discuss with one another.

Doubt, Deconstruction, and Patient Faith Rather than constantly vacillating between pre- and post-anything in our faith, what if we valued patience? When we’re overwhelmed by the crease patterns of questions and doubts, we need deep breaths and even deeper prayers. We need grit and resolve to stay awhile, inviting the Holy Spirit to do his slow-growth work.

A Biblical Theology of Race and Justice Jim Davis and Mike Aitcheson talk live at TGC’s 2021 national conference with Tim Keller and Irwyn Ince about a biblical theology of race and justice.

The Holy Spirit Changes Everything  Stop and think, really think about the power of the Holy Spirit. Jesus was dead. Not breathing, not moving. He had no heartbeat, his lungs stopped working, his brain was no longer active for three days. And then on the third day, Jesus was alive again. Just like that. The same Spirit that did the impossible and brought a dead man to life again is living in us.
