Daily devotionals

We at Grace Bible Church in Grants Pass are reading Our Daily Bread and the Bible together this year using one of the following Daily reading plans. Please pick a reading plan and join us.

Our Daily Bread. If you are prone to putting booklets down and “forgetting” where they are, here is an idea. Go to http://ourdailybread.org click the subscribe button, and then click to have the daily devotional sent to your email or smart phone. Now you can’t forget. There it is, in your in-box. For me, this has added a blessing to “checking the mail.”

We are reading the Bible together using one of four daily reading plans.

The New Testament reading plan will take you through the New Testament in a year, with weekends off to reflect on what you have read, or catch up if need be.

The Read the Bible plan is just that - Genisus through Revelation.

The Chronilogical reading plan will take you through the bible as it was written.

New and Old Testament Bible Reading for the Year will take you through the Bible in a year reading some of each every day.

These reading plans are available in the vestieule. Please pick one up and join us. They also make great bookmarks, so you won't loose your place in your Bible.

The link to the Bible Gateway is provided as an easy way to look up your choice reading with plenty of research available .

Sermon Study Notes

February 28, 2021—GBC

Acts 19:8-22

Have you ever been in awe of something

Awe—a feeling of reverential respect mixed with fear or wonder

Living for Jesus can be hard work:

-People lose their awe of God—sometimes Christians can lose this

1. There is a hardening of the heart

A. It is gradually & silently

B. It is usually subtle, imperceptible way

C. Meanwhile, the HS continues to point out secret faults

-To gain or regain that awe of God

1. We need a willingness to surrender

A. To abandon everything we’ve used to substitute our relationship we have with Jesus/God

B. It is different for everyone

Money, possessions, self-reliance, power, relationships, alcohol, drugs, sex, achievements religion, recognition

You know what is yours

It is what you would fear to lose if the Lord sat you down for a heart-to-heart talk

It’s giving EVERYTHING to God lock, stock, & barrel

Bible Memorization

February, 2021

Philippians 2:5-11 (NLV)

5 You must have the same attitude that Christ Jesus had.

6 Though he was God,[a]
he did not think of equality with God
as something to cling to.
7 Instead, he gave up his divine privileges[b];
he took the humble position of a slave[c]
and was born as a human being.
When he appeared in human form,[d]
8 he humbled himself in obedience to God
and died a criminal’s death on a cross.

9 Therefore, God elevated him to the place of highest honor
and gave him the name above all other names,
10 that at the name of Jesus every knee should bow,
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
11 and every tongue declare that Jesus Christ is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father.
