Memory Verse for the Week: Ephesians 3:20-21 (ESV)

INTRO: What drives your sense of hope (if you have hope)?

GOD’S GLORY & US
What is our relationship to God and His glory?

DEFIANT & DISHONEST
How do we live in pride and unbelief vs. God’s ownership and design?

LOVE THAT DEFIES CATEGORIES
What conquers our doubts and fears?

YOU CAN PRAY WITH US ...

1. Worship the LORD for the splendor of His glory. Praise Him, Father, Son and Holy Spirit for sourcing you in everything in your life and for His surpassing worth vs. every other created person, thing or experience.

2. How have you lived doubting God’s sourcing of you and refusing to credit Him for all of the goodness in your life? Confess your pride and unbelief to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and to heal your heart. 

3. Give thanks to Jesus for all that He has done that is unimaginable, and immeasurably generous. Thank Him for doing more than we could have asked or imagined, to leave heaven and be cursed so that we could be redeemed. 

4. Who do you know that claims to live an authentic life while denying God’s true ownership in their life? Pray for them, asking the Lord to help them come to reality, but in confessing their selfishness and trusting Jesus for His saving love. 

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to bear in you His fruit of love and joy, especially to find your glory (your heart’s true satisfaction) in Christ. Pray that He would fill you with His love and peace because of His infinite resources.
