Lent Devotion Guide #15 – Overcoming The Lies: Worth Is Determined By Work?
FRIDAY MARCH 12, 2021
An Introduction
Hello Connect Church Family! As we prepare for the coming of Easter I will be sharing a sermon series titled, “Overcoming the Lies.” To accompany the sermon series and help us grow as individual Christians, we have also put together this devotional guide. I hope this will be a blessing to you! Every weekday, for the next several weeks, you are invited to join your church family and spend a few moments in this book. A number of people from our church community have contributed to make this booklet possible. On other days I have shared short thoughts on scriptures and left space for you to pray through what the scripture means for you. I hope you will join me and many others in your church family as we prepare for the coming of Easter!

Read: Romans 12:3-8
God chose to give each of us gifts. It is important for each of us to use our gifts in service to God and his kingdom. However, God does not love us because of how we use our gifts. God gives us gifts because he loves us. Read Romans 12:3-8 and write your thoughts in your guide or notebook. – Adam Ricks (Pastor ConnectUMC)
