Greetings, my name is Matthew Clark. I’m currently in the Marquette home group and I work as a delivery driver to the town of Berrien Springs. If you’re reading this around 9:30am, I’m most likely either beginning my 15-mile trek from the station or delivering to Tudor Road 🙂
Know that God is with you.
The theme for this week is that God works through our brokenness. Brokenness has been a hard word for me to understand. I’ve spent a lot of time thinking about what it means to be broken and also what it means to be whole.
As believers, we know our wholeness comes from God alone. We believe that we can do nothing on our own to gain or to add to God’s favor and love for us. Knowing this,
What does our current brokenness mean in light of Jesus? How does God use us regardless of our wounds?
- Spend some time in James 5:7-11 and flip [or tap] back to Exodus 7.
James 5 gives us a thoughtful picture of patience. A farmer waits for the precious fruit of the earth. He waits for the season’s rains. Verse 11 also tells us of God’s character through this waiting; the Lord is compassionate and merciful.
- What are we waiting for?
- What is the precious fruit that God is waiting for?
- What else do you see?
