God’s Good and Perfect Gifts (10)
For just as the body is one and has many parts, and all the parts of that body, though many, are one body—so also is Christ.

God’s Good and Perfect Gifts (3)
For you are saved by grace through faith, and this is not from yourselves; it is God’s gift – Ephesians 2:8 CSB “Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me.” I know it’s not a Christmas hymn, but as I prepared to write today’s devotion, I couldn’t stop humming “Amazing Grace”.…

Thankful for Calvary
He himself bore our sins in his body on the tree; so that, having died to sins, we might live for righteousness. By his wounds you have been healed. 1 Peter 2:24 CSB Earlier this week, I had the blessing of hearing a song titled “Calvary’s Enough” by Brooke Ligertwood. If you haven’t heard it, I encourage you to check…
