Meeting Overview

Devotion Winsome Witness or Stumbling Block?

If we claim to be without sin, we deceive ourselves and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, He

is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness.

1 John 1:8-9

I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do... I agree that

the law is good... What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? Thanks be to

God – through Jesus Christ our Lord. Romans 7:15-16, 24-25

‣ What’s driving you, stewardship or temporal gain coupled with fear over losing material comfort?

‣ Whose approval and what idols are you seeking?

‣ How would being “chief repenter” look in your work and life?
