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 6

Listen

Good teaching magnifies the grace of God, focuses on the person of Jesus Christ, then exhorts to good works (Tit 2:1-7). Make sure the message is consistent (Tit 2:8). Truth taught must be coherent (understandable), correlates to the life we live (so we can apply it), and is consistent (doesn't contradict itself). Christ sacrificed to purify us zealous ("on fire") for good works (Tit 2:11-15). Titus was given a task of selecting elders because there were things lacking in the church in Crete. A new testament church needs: 1) Spiritual leadership, 2) sound teaching, 3) a congregation devoted to good works. Three gospel presentations in Titus: Tit 1:4, Tit 2:11, Tit 3:4-7. Learning --> Living --> Looking (Tit 2:12-14). Paul calls the "blessed hope" (Tit 2:13), Peter calls a "living hope" (1Pe 1:3), and John calls a "purifying hope" (1Jo 3:3). Three washings: 1) regeneration - cleansing from sin (Eph 5:26); 2) confession (1Jo 1:9); 3) fellowship (1Jo 1:7). The Christian life ought to be consistent. Good works should be appealing to the world because unbelievers see Christ in you.
