Good morning, church! We’re grateful for another day to learn about the greatness of our God, and we’re thankful for you as we praise Him together.
Today we savour the infinite implications and endless richness tucked into some of the smallest words that frame the gospel, words like “God,” “grace,” and “so” (“God so loved the world”). It’s these smallest words that require the greatest Bible-nourished imagination to begin to fully apprecite the scale of the gift that is redemption in Jesus Christ.

Amazing Grace Lyrics
Amazing grace! How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me!
I once was lost, but now am found;
Was blind, but now I see.
’Twas grace that taught my heart to fear,
And grace my fears relieved;
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come;
’Tis grace hath brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
The Lord has promised good to me,
His Word my hope secures;
He will my Shield and Portion be,
As long as life endures.

Closing thought
God is the same yesterday, today, and forever. He is who He is. There is no development in God. No progress. Absolute perfection cannot be improved.
John Piper
