Deuteronomy 16:18-18:22
12 June 2022
We long for good leaders in every part of our lives. Politicians, bosses, school principals, judges and business leaders. But even the best human leaders will always let us down. We need something better. This week we see from Deuteronomy 16:18-18:22 that God’s people need good leaders who love the Lord, obey his law and reflect his holiness. Only Jesus can fit this bill as our just judge, good king, faithful priest and true prophet.
Passage: Deuteronomy 16:18-18:22

Redemption – Sinners Bought by God

What do you need to see real, long-term change in your life? Just trying harder won’t do it. Guilt and shame won’t work long-term. It’s only God’s grace that can do it… This week we look at our next Big Word in God’s Big Plan: Redemption – Sinners Bought by God. We see from Titus 2:11-14 that in Jesus, God paid the price to redeem us from sin so we live for Him, able to turn away from sin and grow in Godliness by his grace.

Resurrection – Raised from death to eternal life

If you’re united to Jesus by faith, then you get a new life now and a new body in the future. In our new life we consider ourselves as dead to sin and we conduct ourselves by presenting ourselves to God as instruments for doing righteousness. This week we look at our next Big Word in God’s Big Plan: Resurrection – Raised from death to eternal life. We see from Romans 6:1-14 that because Jesus has been raised from the dead, we’ve been given new life to live for Him.
