W@W WRAP - Week 11: You are chosen

Regardless of our mistakes, our inadequacies, our weaknesses or our failures, we have a Father who loves us, and who created us fearfully, wonderfully, and perfectly. He doesn’t make mistakes and He has chosen us!

 

John 15: 16-17 quotes the words of Jesus: "You didn’t choose me, remember; I chose you, and put you in the world to bear fruit, fruit that won’t spoil. As fruit bearers, whatever you ask the Father in relation to me, he gives you. But remember the root command: Love one another.“

W@W WRAP - Week 12: Where are you?

Can we be found in the presence of the One who made us? The One who has a wonderful plan for our lives? Do we really spend enough time with our amazing Father?

 

Genesis 3:8-9 (NIV): "Then the man and his wife heard the sound of the LORD God as he was walking in the garden in the cool of the day, and they hid from the LORD God among the trees of the garden. But the LORD God called to the man, “Where are you?”

 

W@W WRAP - Week 13: Tree of Life

Do you sometimes feel like hiding because you’ve eaten forbidden fruit? Know and believe, that regardless of our sin, shame or fear, we never again need to hide from God. Know that we have LIFE because of the One who gave His life for us (refer to Galatians 1:4).

 

Genesis 3:11 (NIV): “And God said, “Who told you that you were naked? Have you eaten from the tree that I commanded you not to eat from?”

W@W WRAP - Week 14: The greatest gift

The Merriam-Webster dictionary defines GIFT as: "Something voluntarily transferred by one person to another without compensation". What is the greatest GIFT you have every received?

 

John 3:16 (AMP): “For God so [greatly] loved and dearly prized the world, that He [even] gave His [One and] only begotten Son, so that whoever believes and trusts in Him [as Savior] shall not perish, but have eternal life."

 

W@W WRAP - Week 15: Celebrating Jesus

As we think about Calvary, let’s celebrate and praise the Name of our Lord, JESUS CHRIST.

 

1 Corinthians 11:26 (Amp): “For every time you eat this bread and drink this cup, you are [symbolically] proclaiming [the fact of] the Lord’s death until He comes [again].”

 

W@W WRAP - Week 16: Living attached to the one and only true Vine

Have you considered what it really means to be living attached to the one and only true Vine? Jesus says in John 15:4 (MSG): “Live in me. Make your home in me just as I do in you. In the same way that a branch can’t bear grapes by itself but only by being joined to the vine, you can’t bear fruit unless you are joined with me”.

 

John 15:5-7 (NIV): “I am the Vine, you are the branches. When you’re joined with me and I with you, the relation intimate and organic, the harvest is sure to be abundant. Separated, you can’t produce a thing."

 

W@W WRAP - Week 17: Love and kindness

Do you understand how much God truly loves you? There is no greater act of love or kindness than laying your life down so that someone else can live a life of freedom!

 

1 Corinthians 1:10 (NIV): “I have a serious concern to bring up with you, my friends, using the authority of Jesus, our Master. I’ll put it as urgently as I can: You must get along with each other. You must learn to be considerate of one another, cultivating a life in common.”

 

W@W WRAP - Week 18: A good good Father

We serve a good good Father, who wants the best for us, who holds our plans and dreams in the palm of His hand, and who provides and cares for us. He loves us more than we can ever comprehend!

 

Psalm 34:8 (MSG): “Open your mouth and taste, open your eyes and see - how good GOD is. Blessed are you who run to him.”

W@W WRAP - Week 19: Nothing is impossible!

Do you sometimes limit yourself or others? Do you do this merely because you don’t believe or dream big enough? Do you truly believe that for our amazing Father God – nothing is impossible?

 

Luke 1:36-38 (NIV): “And did you know that your cousin Elizabeth conceived a son, old as she is? Everyone called her barren, and here she is six months pregnant! Nothing, you see, is impossible with God.” And Mary said, Yes, I see it all now: I’m the Lord’s maid, ready to serve. Let it be with me just as you say. Then the angel left her.”

W@W WRAP - Week 20: Learning and understanding start with God

Wisdom is to know our Father God. To know Him, we need to spend time with Him. A God-first life is one in which we seek knowledge, understanding and insight from our Father God.  It involves setting our hearts to live in absolute obedience to His will, and to be 100% dependent on Him for everything.

 

Proverbs 1:7 (MSG): “Start with GOD - the first step in learning is bowing down to GOD; only fools thumb their noses at such wisdom and learning."
