Hump Day Encouragement

Well, I've completed a post two weeks in a row having begun my Monday Confessions (again, I'll be surprised if I post yet another). So I thought I'd give another weekly assignment a try.

I'll call it Hump Day Encouragement.

I'm encouraged because of God's ministry through His people.

AWANA Clubs never ceases to amaze me.

The volume of kids who attend surely is a blessing but as much so are the leaders.
The sometimes chaotic evening is tempered with the calm that accompanies God's grace.

And then the clear teaching of God's Word, the personal one-on-one (or one-on-two) interaction during handbook time, and the excitement of the games point to one thing… the gospel of Christ demonstrated and proclaimed.

Last night in Sparks twenty-two k-2nd graders quoted the following:

S is for Savior
   1 John 4:14, … the Father has sent the Son as Savior of the world.

P is for Power
   Psalm 147:5, Great is our Lord, and mighty in power.

A is for According to the Scriptures
   1 Corinthians 15:3, … Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures. 

R is for Rose Again
   1 Corinthians 15:4, And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to the scriptures. 

K is for Keep
   James 2:10, For whoever shall keep the whole law, and yet stumble in one point, he is guilty of all. 

S is for Saved
   Acts 16:31, … believe on the Lord Jesus Christ and you will be saved…

Encouraged? You betcha! So what has encouraged you this week?
