Let the Word of God Speak to Your Heart – Not Just Your Brain Deacon George Yee Chinese Grace Bible Church Sunday, December 15, 2013
Thursday, December 5 II Corinthians 3:1-11 Sufficiency of God Never-Fading Glory
II Corinthians 3:4-6 (NIV) 4 Such confidence as this is ours through Christ before God.
II Corinthians 3:4-6 (NIV) 5 Not that we are competent in ourselves to claim anything for ourselves, but our competence comes from God.
II Corinthians 3:4-6 (NIV) 6 He has made us competent as ministers of a new covenant—not of the letter but of the Spirit; for the letter kills, but the Spirit gives life.
Friday, December 6 II Corinthians 3:12-18 A Bold Hope Being Authentic
II Corinthians 3:12 (NIV) 12 Therefore, since we have such a hope, we are very bold.
Saturday, December 7 II Corinthians 4:1-10 The Gift of Ministry The Power of Ministry
II Corinthians 4:5-10 (NIV) 5 For we do not preach ourselves, but Jesus Christ as Lord, and ourselves as your servants for Jesus’ sake.
II Corinthians 4:5-10 (NIV) 6 For God, who said, “Let light shine out of darkness,” made his light shine in our hearts to give us the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Christ.
II Corinthians 4:5-10 (NIV) 7 But we have this treasure in jars of clay to show that this all-surpassing power is from God and not from us.
II Corinthians 4:5-10 (NIV) 8 We are hard pressed on every side, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair;
II Corinthians 4:5-10 (NIV) 9 persecuted, but not abandoned; struck down, but not destroyed.
II Corinthians 4:5-10 (NIV) 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body.
Sunday, December 8 II Corinthians 4:11-18 The Life of Christ Is Greater The Fuel of Christ Is Stronger
II Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV) 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though outwardly we are wasting away, yet inwardly we are being renewed day by day.
II Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV) 17 For our light and momentary troubles are achieving for us an eternal glory that far outweighs them all.
II Corinthians 4:16-18 (NIV) 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.
Monday, December 9 II Corinthians 5:1-10 The Life of Christ Is Greater The Fuel of Christ Is Stronger
II Corinthians 5:1-5 (NIV) 1 Now we know that if the earthly tent we live in is destroyed, we have a building from God, an eternal house in heaven, not built by human hands.
II Corinthians 5:1-5 (NIV) 2 Meanwhile we groan, longing to be clothed instead with our heavenly dwelling,
II Corinthians 5:1-5 (NIV) 3 because when we are clothed, we will not be found naked.
II Corinthians 5:1-5 (NIV) 4 For while we are in this tent, we groan and are burdened, because we do not wish to be unclothed but to be clothed with our heavenly dwelling, so that what is mortal may be swallowed up by life.
II Corinthians 5:1-5 (NIV) 5 Now it is God who has made us for this very purpose and has given us the Spirit as a deposit, guaranteeing what is to come.
II Corinthians 5:6-9 (NIV) 6 Therefore we are always confident and know that as long as we are at home in the body we are away from the Lord.
II Corinthians 5:6-9 (NIV) 7 We live by faith, not by sight.
II Corinthians 5:6-9 (NIV) 8 We are confident, I say, and would prefer to be away from the body and at home with the Lord.
II Corinthians 5:6-9 (NIV) 9 So we make it our goal to please him, whether we are at home in the body or away from it.
Tuesday, December 10 II Corinthians 5:11-21 A Compelling Force The Power of Reconciliation
II Corinthians 5:13-20 (NIV) 13 If we are out of our mind, it is for the sake of God; if we are in our right mind, it is for you.
II Corinthians 5:13-20 (NIV) 14 For Christ’s love compels us, because we are convinced that one died for all, and therefore all died.
II Corinthians 5:13-20 (NIV) 15 And he died for all, that those who live should no longer live for themselves but for him who died for them and was raised again.
II Corinthians 5:13-20 (NIV) 16 So from now on we regard no one from a worldly point of view. Though we once regarded Christ in this way, we do so no longer.
II Corinthians 5:13-20 (NIV) 17 Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation; the old has gone, the new has come!
II Corinthians 5:13-20 (NIV) 18 All this is from God, who reconciled us to himself through Christ and gave us the ministry of reconciliation:
II Corinthians 5:13-20 (NIV) 19 that God was reconciling the world to himself in Christ, not counting men’s sins against them. And he has committed to us the message of reconciliation.
II Corinthians 5:13-20 (NIV) 20 We are therefore Christ’s ambassadors, as though God were making his appeal through us. We implore you on Christ’s behalf: Be reconciled to God.
Wednesday, December 11 II Corinthians 6:1-10 Suffering Servant Suffering Yet Rejoicing
II Corinthians 6:4-10 (NIV) 4 Rather, as servants of God we commend ourselves in every way: in great endurance; in troubles, hardships and distresses;
II Corinthians 6:4-10 (NIV) 5 in beatings, imprisonments and riots; in hard work, sleepless nights and hunger;
II Corinthians 6:4-10 (NIV) 6 in purity, understanding, patience and kindness; in the Holy Spirit and in sincere love;
II Corinthians 6:4-10 (NIV) 7 in truthful speech and in the power of God; with weapons of righteousness in the right hand and in the left;
II Corinthians 6:4-10 (NIV) 8 through glory and dishonor, bad report and good report; genuine, yet regarded as impostors;
II Corinthians 6:4-10 (NIV) 9 known, yet regarded as unknown; dying, and yet we live on; beaten, and yet not killed;
II Corinthians 6:4-10 (NIV) 10 sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; poor, yet making many rich; having nothing, and yet possessing everything.
II Corinthians 3:3 (NIV) 3 You show that you are a letter from Christ, the result of our ministry, written not with ink but with the Spirit of the living God, not on tablets of stone but on tablets of human hearts.
