For the grace of God that brings salvation has appeared to all men. Titus 2:11 Read Titus 2: 11-14 Grace is the free, kind, and generous way God relates to people. Paul speaks of grace as if it was a human – a teacher from God. The foundation of Titus 2 is found in verses 11-14. The behavior Paul encourages the five groups is to respond to the grace of God that has appeared and taught us. What were we like when grace found us? Grace alone brings God’s offer of salvation to all. God’s grace is for all people. The powerful grace that took…

Reflection Day
Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the heathen, I will be exalted in the earth. Psalm 46:10 Today is Reflection Day! I love reflection day. It’s a time for me to go back and reflect on what God has spoken to me. It gives me time to pray and seek God about what he wants to change in my life. It gives me time to make a game plan of putting action to what God is telling me and asking of me. Reflection Day gives me a slower pace to grasp what God is telling me. It gives…

Prayer Time
Our Father in heaven, Your name is honored as holy. Your kingdom come. Your Will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us today our daily bread.

Amen.] Let’s take some time and focus on prayer. Look up these verses and glean from them. Prayer! It’s a conversation with God. Do you struggle with praying? Is it intimidating to you to pray to God? Is there a right way to…

In Hard Times
I thank God, whom I serve, as my forefathers did, with a clear conscience, as night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 2 Timothy 1:3 What types of problems was Paul facing as he wrote his final letter? Read 2 Timothy 1: 1-7 Paul was set in a Roman prison awaiting martyrdom for his faith. He is writing for the last time to his son in the faith, Timothy. False teachers are wrecking the faith for believers and themselves. The other Apostles have left Paul high and dry. Paul was alone in his final days on earth. Paul was discouraged. Have…

Relating To Self and The Rich
But godliness with contentment is a significant gain. 1 Timothy 6:6 What is the balance of contentment and wanting more? Read 1 Timothy 6 Isaiah said some people are like greedy dogs. Read Isaiah 56:11, Luke 12:15, Hebrews 13:5. We need to be content with what we have and what we honestly earn to have those things. Paul warns that the desire for riches is a temptation and a trap – an invitation to ruin and destruction. Paul warns us that we cannot serve God and money – we must choose one or the other. The love of money is the root of many evils,…
