“Passing the Plate”

When it comes to marriage and family, showing grace

Ephesians 5:17-21

is just as important as saying grace.

Key Truth:

Pastor David Whitten

Grace (Charis / Gratia) = “kindness or favor” Westminster Dictionary of Theological Terms

There are two tracks upon which grace can flow: 1.

Loving God and serving others. (vv.15-18, 21)

My Next Steps: 2.

1. This week I will read the Scripture and pray daily so that Jesus, who is full of grace, can empower me to show grace to those around me. 2. This week I will look for opportunities to serve my spouse/family and express gratitude and appreciation for who they are and what they do. 3. This week I will make it a point to “TURN TO” my spouse/family when they reach out to me.

Speaking kindly and giving thanks. (vv.19-20)
