Wednesday's Devotion & Rejection

This week I am daily posting verses and resources to help us keep our focus on God.
These resources and this past Sunday night's sermon were meant to build upon Pastor Doug's morning message "The Joy Placebo" from Isaiah 5:11-17

Today's verses are 1 Corinthians 11:17-34.
We need to take time to reflect upon what salvation is.

In God's Word, he provides us with two Biblically commanded reminders of salvation:

• Baptism  -  Matthew 28:19-20
• Communion  -  1 Corinthians 11:17-34

The Old Testament is filled with laws, events, and celebrations to remind the Israelites of God's faithfulness.  

Communion and Baptism are symbols given by God to remind us of Jesus Christ.

There are many other ways we can remember God's faithfulness.

During Sunday evening's message, I mentioned reading Christian biographies.  I specifically referred to the Swans Are Not Silent series.
One of the great things about this series is digital copies of these books are FREE. 

1. The Legacy of Sovereign Joy
2. The Hidden Smile of God
3. The Roots of Endurance
4. Contending for Our All
5. Filling Up the Afflictions of Christ
6. Seeing Beautiful and Saying Beautifully
7. A Camaraderie of Confidence
