Unfair is Good

Normally, we don't like it when things are unfair.  We prefer fair treatment.  My kids are prime examples of this.  When one has a snack, the other has to have one...even if he's not hungry.  This is just the tip of the iceberg.  We all want things to be fair.  But the one area where we benefit from unfairness is with God's grace.  Romans 5:12-21 tells us that God's grace is far greater than our sin.  Imagine that your sin is on one side of a scale and God's grace is on the other side.  They do not balance each other out.  It's not like a yin and yang.  God's grace is far greater.  Take some time this week to thank God for His marvelous grace that washes you clean and ushers you into His presence.

Momentum

This Fall, our Church will be going through a sermon series and small group study called Momentum.  It's a study of the driving force of God's Spirit through the book of Acts!  I have been excited about this season at Northside for most of this year and it's finally upon us.  What has blown me away, however, is how God has begun building Momentum in this congregation even before we officially started the series!  Once again, God has reminded me in a simple way how this is His Church.  He brings the growth.  I'd love to hear how God is building spiritual momentum in your life.  Take a few minutes to respond and brag on God.
