We are TRANSFORMED by the Word of God
Proverbs 16:1-3
We may make our plans, but God has the last word. You may think everything you do is right, but the Lord judges your motives. Commit your actions to the Lord, and your plans will succeed.
James 4:13-17
Now listen, you who say, “Today or tomorrow we will go to this or that city, spend a year there, carry on business and make money.” Why, you do not even know what will happen tomorrow. What is your life? You are a mist that appears for a little while and then vanishes. Instead, you ought to say, “If it is the Lord’s will, we will live and do this or that.” As it is, you boast in your arrogant schemes. All such boasting is evil. If anyone, then, knows the good they ought to do and doesn’t do it, it is sin for them.
GOOD NEWS – Have You Checked Your Plan with God?
The Good News for this Sunday is that God wants us to include Him in our plan.
SONG – I Am Thine, O Lord (UM Hymnal # 419)
RESPONSE TO GOD’S GRACE (OFFERING)
Pastor: God wants our love more than God wants our offerings; God cares about our hearts not the amounts of our offerings. (Hosea 6:6).
All: As we count all the blessings God has already given to us, we cheerfully give our offerings to God, the Provider, with grateful hearts. Amen! (2 Corinthians 9:7).
