Orphan Sunday
Have you ever considered your own adoption into Gods family? What does it mean? What's the significance? Given our own adoption as believers in Jesus, what should our response be to the 143 million orphans in the world or the 500,000 in US foster care system or the 4,000 in foster care in North Texas? Today we will consider such questions on this day, which is Orphan Sunday

The Trinity Blessing Us
God the Father sent the Son, and God the Son sent the Spirit, and God the Spirit came to live in each one of us. Within these 14 verses we see the Trinity's blessing. The will of the Father is to bless us, the work of the Son is to bring that blessing into a reality, and the promise of the Spirit is to give us that blessing and remind us it is fully secure in Christ.

The Deep Things of God
In some ways the Bible is wonderfully simple. In other ways it is profoundly deep. It is simple because, like a Daddy talking to His little girl, God has come down on our level and spoken in ways we can understand. But it is deep because God is more than a Daddy, He is the majestic God of glory, the Lord Almighty, the creator and sustainer of the heavens and earth. In Isaiah 55.8,9, God reminds us: “For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are my ways your ways,†declares the LORD. As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways.†It is good to remember this, especially when we come to Romans 9-11. Today in the Word, we will introduce this section, with a special focus on chapters 9-10. It speaks of election and the mystery of God’s grace in His plan for both Jews and Gentiles. Remember, election is not just a Pauline doctrine, Jesus taught it (John 13.18, 15.16 and 17.6). It is an indispensable foundation of Christian salvation and worship. It reminds us that our salvation is due entirely to His grace, wisdom and power. If we were responsible for our own salvation, even in part, we would be justified in singing our own praise this morning. But we are not-God is. So we can sing praise to Him and celebrate His mercy with joy in our worship, as we listen to his Word and gather for communion at His table. Someone once said that election is not a matter of fairness, but of grace. We have rebelled against our maker and God is not obligated to save anybody, let alone everybody. We deserve what we have chosen-that God saves any at all is amazing. That He saves many is stunning. But when He saves, He saves by grace, and grace is more than fair.
