Malachi 3:10 (ESV) Bring the full tithe into the storehouse, that there may be food in my house.

JESUS LOVES ME Chris Tomlin

I was lost I was in chains the world had a hold of me

My heart was a stone I was covered in shame when He came for me

I couldn’t run couldn’t run from His presence

I couldn’t run couldn’t run from His arms

Jesus, He loves me He loves me He is for me

Jesus, how can it be? He loves me He is for me

And it was a fire deep in my soul I’ll never be the same!

I stepped out of the dark and into the light when He called my name!

I couldn’t run couldn’t run from His presence

I couldn’t run couldn’t run from His arms

Jesus, He loves me He loves me He is for me

Jesus, how can it be? He loves me He is for me

He holds the stars and He holds my heart with healing hands that bear the scars

The rugged cross where He died for me My only hope my everything!

Jesus, He loves me He loves me He is for me

Jesus, how can it be? He loves me He is for me

Jesus, He loves me He loves me He is for me

Jesus, how can it be? He loves me He is for me

The Righteous will live by faith. Romans 1:8-17

8 First, I thank my God through Jesus Christ for all of you, because your faith is being reported all over the world. 9 God, whom I serve in my spirit in preaching the gospel of his Son, is my witness how constantly I remember you 10 in my prayers at all times ; and I pray that now at last by God’s will the way may be opened for me to come to you.

11 I long to see you so that I may impart to you some spiritual gift to make you strong — 12 that is, that you and I may be mutually encouraged by each other’s faith. 13 I do not want you to be unaware, brothers and sisters, that I planned many times to come to you (but have been prevented from doing so until now) in order that I might have a harvest among you, just as I have had among the other Gentiles.

14 I am obligated both to Greeks and non- Greeks, both to the wise and the foolish. 15 That is why I am so eager to preach the gospel also to you who are in Rome. 16 For I am not ashamed of the gospel, because it is the power of God that brings salvation to everyone who believes: first to the Jew, then to the Gentile. 17 For in the gospel the righteousness of God is revealed —a righteousness that is by faith from first to last, just as it is written : “The righteous will live by faith.”

Point 1] God and the world notices your faith. Romans 1:8-10

Point 2 Building our faith together Romans1:11- 13

Point 3 Jesus is for everyone Romans 1:14 -15

Point 4 Power of the Gospel Romans 1:16 -17

I’m trading my sorrows I’m trading my shame I’m laying them down for the joy of the Lord
