Becoming Less

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Sep 8, 2024

The goal of service is not to seek numbers or results but to build one another up in faith for His glory, not our own. Let us seek first the kingdom of God and let our good deeds point to the Father, He may become greater, and I become less (John 3:30) for His honor and glory, amen.

God’s Righteousness Is Better Than We Could Ever Dream.

Contributed by Grant Van Boeschoten on Apr 5, 2017

Paul desperately wanted to know God’s righteousness working throughout his life. He wanted to grow day by day. We see what the Holy Spirit gave Paul to write about not just knowing about God’s righteousness, but living and experiencing it as well.

The Problem of Sin is worse than we thought, but God’s righteousness is better than we could ever dream. Do you ever dream about what your life would look like if you had God’s righteousness flowing in every part of who you are? (What is Righteousness? Doing right things, for the right reasons, ...read more
