Never give up — This week at ELC

June 10, 2016 by john

Faith not sightBecause we live in response to God’s love and promise, we can persevere regardless of the events of each  day.  The truth about our lives is not determined by the headlines, or any particular hardship, or even the opinion of others.  Instead the truth that sustains us is the love of God we find in Jesus.

Worship this week:

Saturday — 5:00 p.m. in the chapel

Sunday — 8:30 a.m. Traditional Worship

10:00 a.m. Contemporary Worship

Devotions for the week:

Walk by Faith Not Sight                                       June 11-12, 2016

SHARE:   What was a high point of your day? What was a low point?

READ: Read the following daily readings to deepen your understanding

Sunday, 2 Corinthians 4:16 – 5:10, Walk by Faith Not Sight

Monday, Romans 7:14-24, The Inner Conflict

Tuesday, Colossians 3:1-17, The New Life in Christ

Wednesday, Romans 8:18-30, Future Glory

Thursday, 2 Peter 1:3-15, The Christian’s Call and Election

Friday, Hebrews 11:8-22, The Faith of Abraham

Saturday, 1 Corinthians 13:1-13, The Gift of Love

TALK:  Consider some of these ideas:

So we are always confident; even though we know that while we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord— for we walk by faith, not by sight.                              2 Corinthians 5:6-7

Paul is on a roll. He puts life in perspective for the Corinthians. While we live upon the earth, what we do here matters. One day we will no longer live on this earth. Our forever home is a heavenly one which cannot be destroyed.

  • What does it mean to “walk by faith, not by sight”? How do you walk by faith? How do you walk by sight?
  • Tell a story of a time you trusted God, even when trusting was hard.
  • Try this: Make a sandwich blindfolded. Prep your space with all the ingredients you need. Then put on the blindfold and make your sandwich. Eat your sandwich with the blindfold on. Take notice of what you hear, feel, smell, and taste. What did you learn from the experience?

PRAY:  Loving God, you renew us when we feel our strength waning. Point us to your eternal promise, in which we are secure, through your Son Jesus Christ. Amen.

BLESS: May God guide you as you walk by faith. Amen.
