Moody RadioAs Paul began to conclude his letter to the Galatians, he focused on the cross of Christ. He had praise for the cross. Then he explained the power, the promise, and the persecution of the cross. Learn more about what this means for us on today’s Treasured Truth.
We need to understand that failure isn’t final. Sure, we all fail. But then we get back up, brush ourselves off, and start all over again. Failure is not final! How do we know? Because we’re still alive! And if we’re still alive, that means that God still wants to use us.
As we look at the Lord’s Prayer in Matthew 6, we discover several reasons why we ought to praise God. And if we are going to respond to those reasons, we need to consider making praise a priority in our lives, in order to give God all the glory.
God gets all the glory, but He works through us to generate glorious results. We’re laborers together with Him. And so, why do we do what we do? It’s all for His glory. So, Pastor Ford will explain that if we’re not doing something for the glory of God, we should stop whatever it is—now! Because everything we do should be done completely for His glory.
Grace saves us, shapes us, and then gives us the power to serve God. He gives us power to be able to do what we cannot do, so that He can use us to impact the lives of people and show them His grace. And because of His grace, we need to make sure He gets the glory out of our lives.
Pastor James Ford Jr. has been the senior pastor of Christ Bible Church of Chicago, located on the south side of Chicago, Ill., for over 35 years. He also serves as the president of Impact Ministries, an outreach ministry committed to strengthening families in the South Shore community of Chicago.
