Good Morning!
Let’s focus our day by spending some time with Jesus before it begins.
THANK. Write down 3-5 things you’re thankful for in the last 24 hours.
WORSHIP. Pick a song from one of our Spotify Playlists and let it play in the background.
READ. Our Scripture Focus is Ephesians 4:1-6. Try memorizing it during this study!
Today’s reading is from 1 Corinthians 12:12-27 (Go Deeper: Ephesians 1:20-23, Colossians 1:18, Ephesians 4:15-16, Colossians 2:9-15 & Romans 12:4-5)
THINK. A Thought from Pastor Dave…
Paul uses a metaphor of the human body to describe the relationship between Christ and the Church. As the head of the body, Christ unifies the individual parts that serve distinct purposes. When you become a Christian, you are part of something bigger, more meaningful, and more beautiful than only a personal relationship with God and His purposes for your life. You become a part of Jesus’ body. That means you have a place. You belong. You have meaning. And you have a unique function. Not only does the body need each member to fulfill its function, but each member needs the body to survive and thrive. And you have a part to play in God’s work here on earth. The Church is the real, physical representation of God’s presence on earth - and as a follower of Jesus, you are a part of it!
LIVE. One practical way to understand and apply the Bible is the SOS method. Ask…
S: What does this passage say about God, and what does it say about me?
O: What am I being invited to obey?
S: What can I share with those around me?
PRAY. Pray for yourself, a family member, a lifegroup/church friend, someone who doesn’t know Jesus, and the nations. Pick one each day or pray through them all every day.
CONNECT. Have a question, prayer request, or story? Let us know here or reply via text.
SHARE. Invite a friend to read the Focus with you! Just text “FOCUS” to (586) 200-6277.

Run the race with endurance today, and stay focused on Jesus.
Make it a Great One!
