At the Feet of Jesus

At the Feet of Jesus is a study that Nan Cunningham has written featuring Mary of Bethany.

Picture yourself at Jesus’ feet with the forgiveness of God making all things new in your life. Mary has much to teach us about adoration, devotion, and living our life at the feet of our Lord and Savior—Jesus Christ. She came to Jesus with a humble heart and made wise decisions that were based on her spiritual priorities. The result was praise from the Lord.

Of Mary, Jesus said, “And truly I say to you, wherever the gospel is preached in the whole world, that also which this woman has done shall be spoken of in memory of her” (Mar 14:9).

It is Nan’s desire and prayer that through this study, each of us would fall in love with Jesus all over again. Let your soul lavish in the freedom of forgiveness and be ready always to offer that forgiveness to others.

The Transforming Power of Grace 3

Listen

Psa 34:11-28 David praises God for his Grace in times when he acts foolishly. David's leadership draws a lesson out of the Abimelech incident. Spiritual leaders teach and exemplify sound doctrine so as to lead all classes of believers into sanctified living. Paul emphasizes purity for overseers (Act 20:17, Act 20:28, Act 20:32, Act 20:35). Paul saw himself as a servant of servants. Peter explains the elder role (1Pe 5:1-4). At the moment of salvation we are giving all blessings (Eph 1:3, Rom 5:1-2, 2Co 5:17) for the purpose of becoming more like him (Luk 9:23). We are priests (1Pe 2:5-9) to God as an intercessor for others. We have the ministry of reconciliation as ambassadors (2Co 5:14-21). Our spiritual gift has a ministry to others (1Co 12:4-7). Service means sacrifice. Elder has spiritual authority; this has to be established. Every husband is the elder of his home. Shepherd lays down his life for the flock. Overseers must have character (Tit 1:7-9). Danger of drifting away (Eph 4:1-32); Contrast is discerning good and evil (Heb 5:1-14).
