PASSAGE: Final Warnings, Final Greetings
MEMORY VERSE: "You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which was being corrupted by its deceitful desires, to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on a new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness" Ephesians 4:22-24
NOTES: (v.4) For to be sure, he was crucified in weakness, yet he lives by God's power. Likewise, we are weak in him, yet by God's power we will live with him to serve you."
(v.5) "Examine yourselves to see whether you are in faith; test yourselves. Do you not realize that Christ Jesus is in you--unless, of course, you fail the test?"
(v.8) "For we cannot do anything against the truth, but only for the truth."
(v.10) "This is why I write these things when I am absent, that when I come I may not have to be harsh in my use of authority--the authority the Lord gave me for building you up, not for tearing you down."
(v.11) "Aim for perfection, listen to my appeal, be of one mind, live in peace. And the God of love and peace will be with you."
ACT OF LOVE: Today I went to a friend's house for dinner (a family friend had visited, so me and my mom went to see them), and afterwards I helped them clean up and wash the dishes!
