Text: Colossians 3:18-25 The Bible encourages us to work heartily as to the Lord, and not to man (v. 23).

Text: Philippians 4:10-23 Always rely on Christ’s power as you execute your work (v.13). The power of Christ in you will enable you to face all situations of life with contentment.

Text: Philippians 2:1-18 The Bible encourages us to do all things without grumbling or questioning (v.14). Why should we not grumble?

Text: Ephesians 2:1-10 As a follower of Jesus Christ, I must practice good works (v.10), even though good works cannot and will never contribute to one’s salvation.

Text: Galatians 6:5-18 Many times one gets discouraged if after putting in a lot of effort one receives neither word of gratitude nor sees tangible results.

Text: Galatians 6:1-4 Whatever you do, do not compare it with others (v.4); instead, look unto Jesus Christ as your standard. With the standard of Christ before you, the best in you will be produced.

Shalom, Last Sunday’s Topic was: Walking in the Spirit. [Gal 5:13-24 & John 14:8-17].
