Be A Blessing
When God set his affection on his people, he rooted this relationship in blessing. Because God has faithfully demonstrated this reality in our lives, we now have the privilege of being to others what God has been to us. We do this through missional living, Spirit-led generosity and an intentional posture towards the nations. All of these efforts are fueled by our desire to help others see God for who He really is and themselves for who they can be. Let’s be a blessing!
Memory Verse
Christ redeemed us from the curse of the law by becoming a curse for us—for it is written, “Cursed is everyone who is hanged on a tree”— so that in Christ Jesus the blessing of Abraham might come to the Gentiles, so that we might receive the promised Spirit through faith.
Galatians 3:13-14
Speaking
Our blessings to the Lord and to others are not totally different things, or even two sides of a single coin: they are much more unified than that. All blessings flow from above, and our spoken blessings tell that truth from a loving heart. We echo heaven as we speak good of God and others. In this lesson we'll unpack the true power and purpose of blessing.
