Whether you are here in person or engaging from home, we are thankful you have chosen to worship with us today. If it is your first time, welcome! we would love to get to know you better. Would you consider filling out our Next Steps card and let us know you stopped by?

At Grace Family we focus our worship on Sunday to impact our lives every other day of the week as well. We also believe no one is perfect but everyone is welcome to worship God with us. So, no matter where you're from, what you've done, or what your week has been like, let's worship God and learn from His word together today.

How do I do my "devotions"?

2 Timothy 3:16-17

"16 All Scripture is inspired by God and is useful to teach us what is true and to make us realize what is wrong in our lives. It corrects us when we are wrong and teaches us to do what is right. 17 God uses it to prepare and equip his people to do every good work.:

The scriptures were written to...

Give us information.

Connect us to God and other believers.

Inspire change in our lives.

Isaiah 55:10-11

"“The rain and snow come down from the heavens

    and stay on the ground to water the earth.

They cause the grain to grow,

    producing seed for the farmer

    and bread for the hungry.

11 It is the same with my word.

    I send it out, and it always produces fruit.

It will accomplish all I want it to,

    and it will prosper everywhere I send it."

Spiritual fruit is the result of connection with God and others.

Spiritual fruit is the result of Biblical application.

We're not talking about self-help.

We are talking about worship.

I've got my Bible...now what?

Look. - Observation -> What stands out?

Think. - Interpretation -> Ask questions.

Do. - Application -> Put it to work.

4 Steps

1. What did the text mean to the Biblical audience?
2. What are the differences between the Biblical audience and me?
3. What is the theological principle in this text?
4. How should Christians today apply this theological principle in their lives?

You cannot apply a Biblical principle to your life without first understanding what it meant to the original audience.

This process takes practice.

Philippians 2:1-4

" Is there any encouragement from belonging to Christ? Any comfort from his love? Any fellowship together in the Spirit? Are your hearts tender and compassionate? 2 Then make me truly happy by agreeing wholeheartedly with each other, loving one another, and working together with one mind and purpose.

3 Don’t be selfish; don’t try to impress others. Be humble, thinking of others as better than yourselves. 4 Don’t look out only for your own interests, but take an interest in others, too."

What is a principle for me to take away from this text?
