HANDS

H. A. N. D. S.
 
 

Large group starts at 7 pm (age requirements 15 years and older)

Small groups start at 8 pm (age requirements 18 years and older)
 
 
The Spirit of the Sovereign Lord is upon me, for the Lord has anointed me to bring good news to the poor.
He has sent me to comfort the brokenhearted  and to proclaim that captives will be released and prisoners will be freed. (Isaiah 61:1)
 
It has been said that, “The eyes are the windows to the soul.”  If that’s true then I believe our HANDS are the expressions of our heart.
 
How our HANDS reflect the way we serve God and others; and how our hands reflect how we give back to God and others, all the grace that we have been given so freely. 
 
 
 
 
Heart
Action
Needs
Depend
Serve
 
Are you serving from a heart that is going to build others up?  If you are, then your heart is in the right place.  You are ready to be used by God and to help others.
 
 
For you have been called to live in freedom, my brothers and sisters. But don’t use your freedom to satisfy your sinful nature. Instead, use your freedom to serve one another in love.  (Galatians 5:13)
 
Small Group Focus Question:  What can you do with your hands to serve Christ?

CR_18-Grace

 

Grace Lesson #18
 
 

Large group starts at 7 pm (age requirements 15 years and older)

Small groups start at 8 pm (age requirements 18 years and older)
 
We must make our amends, make restitution, offer our forgiveness, but most of all, we must receive and model Jesus Christ’s freely given gift of GRACE.
 
Principle 6:    Evaluate all my relationships.  Offer forgiveness to those who have hurt me and make amends for harm I’ve done to others, except when to do so would harm them or others.
 
“Blessed are the merciful.” (Matthew 5:7)
“Blessed are the peacemakers.” (Matthew 5:9)
 
Step 9: We made direct amends to such people whenever possible, except when to do so would injure them or others.
 
“Therefore, if you are offering your gift at the altar  and there remember that your brother has something against you, leave your gift  there in front of the altar.  First go and be reconciled to your brother, then  come and offer your gift.” (Matthew 5:23-24)
 
God’s gift
Received by our faith
Accepted by God’s love
Christ paid the price
Everlasting gift
 
Leader’s  Focus  Question:  In what ways have you experienced God’s GRACE in your recovery?
 
 
Lesson  Prayer:
Our  Father, thank You for Your love, for Your freely given grace.  Help me model  Your ways when I make my amends to those I have hurt and offer my forgiveness to  those who have injured me.  Help me to set aside my selfishness and speak the  truth in love.  I pray that I would focus only on my part, my responsibility in  the issue.  I know that I can forgive others because You first forgave me.   
Thank you for loving me.  
In the name of Jesus we pray,  Amen.
