God’s amazing love. Do you ever stop to think about it? Mankind was separated from God because of our sin. God desired to restore this relationship with his creation so because of this great love, He provided a way through His only Son, Jesus Christ.

Because of God’s love we can be saved

Because of sacrifice on the cross, our debt is paid.

This leads us to confession.

This leads us to relationship.

This leads us to respond by living our relationship.

More than ever we should never stop being amazed.

Do you ever take your faith for granted?  We sing “amazing Grace” but are we rarely “amazed” because we’re 
so used to it.

What would it take to totally be amazed? How would we live differently?

Oh The Glory

William S. Hayes

How I wish I could tell it, what Jesus did for me,
And what He still is doing every day;
But, bless His name, it’s growing so fast upon my hands,
My happy soul can only seem to say:

Refrain:
Oh, the glory of Calv’ry’s love story,
Oh, the glory that’s in my soul;
Hallelujah, I’ll never get over
Praising God for saving me while ages roll.

There’s nothing like the glory to show the world around
We have the best of life in every way;
We walk and talk with Jesus, He makes our joys abound
With something new from heaven every day.

Stop wishing that you had it and felt this glory, too—
You don’t get it by wishing, you must yield;
Come out from Egypt’s bondage, be washed in Jesus’ blood,
Just pay the price, get in God’s clover field.

Some think this great salvation will stop all their good times,
They must not do a thing but sing and pray; We do just what we want to, and go where’er we please,
And that is what we’re doing here today.

God is still doing amazing things. We need to open our eyes to see them and to recognize them and to share them with everyone we know. 

Ask God to show you how to recognize how He is at work in your life and the lives around you. Ask God to amaze you so you would dance for joy and proclaim "Oh the glory...!"
