Reflections: November 1, 2009

This week's "Reflection" by Jeff Taylor, Pastor of Teaching & Worship

How does the idea of doing something out of importance rather than performance produce freedom in your heart?

Ephesians 2:8-10: God saved you by his grace when you believed. And you can¹t take credit for this; it is a gift from God. Salvation is not a reward for the good things we have done, so none of us can boast about it. For we are God's masterpiece. He has created us anew in Christ Jesus, so we can do the good things he planned for us long ago.

What are/have been areas that you have felt you need to "perform" for God? Bible reading? Quiet times or prayer? Going to church? What does this passage from scripture do to your purpose for doing these things?

And be sure to come next Sunday as we discuss further this idea of freedom through grace!
