Grace And Transformation
As for you, you were dead in your transgressions and sins, in which you used to live when you followed the ways of this world and of the ruler of the kingdom of the air, the spirit who is now at work in those who are disobedient. All of us also lived among them at one time, gratifying the cravings of our flesh and following its desires and thoughts. Like the rest, we were by nature deserving of wrath. But because of his great love for us, God, who is rich in mercy, made us alive with Christ even when we were dead in transgressions—it is by grace you have been saved. (Ephesians 2:1-5 NIV) It is by grace we have been saved. More than pardoning of the sins, the greatest grace and favor of God is a contrite spirit giveth us each time we hear the gospel. Grace does not allow one to wallow in their weaknesses, grace propels one to come before God each time she falls, and continuously be transformed by the renewing of mind. Genuine transformation of the inner being come from you deeply knowing the depth of God's grace.

Verses to Read
<Acts 1:6-8; 2:46-47>
1. The Gospel
* Misunderstanding the Gospel = Misunderstanding the Work of the Holy Spirit.
* The Holy Spirit will not be satisfied when the gospel is not being fully, clearly and boldly proclaimed through the church.
* The Gospel is the power of God for the salvation for all those who believes <Ro 1:16>. Yet, what is believing faith?
2. The Vision of World Evangelization
* Many Churches/believers are curtailed by the difficulties and challenges.
* Yet, it is by the Persistence and Resolution of the Holy Spirit that it will be accomplished.
* Therefore, join Him in His work.
3. The Communion of Saints
* Need for physical gathering of Saints:
(1) Mature Love = receiving and serving
(2) Deepening of Relationship involve sacrifices of time and energy
(3) Accountability
