Growing Deeply, a daily scripture guide

By Rev. Charity Goodwin-Rosario
Fellow Faith Journeyers:
What a blessing to be here with you as we walk into a
new beginning. I have the privilege of serving alongside
you as we grow deeply in Christ. One way we do that is
by reading and applying scripture. Last Sunday Rev. Kendall
introduced Growing Deeply, a daily scripture guide. The
guide roots us in the scripture from the sermon as well as
prepares our hearts for the sermon that is come. Simply
put, scriptures Monday through Wednesday highlight
the sermon youve heard. Thursday through Saturday
scriptures will ready us for the following weeks message.
I create these each week and I pray they help to shape QT
(quiet time) with God. Use them individually, in your family

for devotional times, with your co-workers, and/or in

groups here at church. Know that when the body of Christ
studies and prays together, we experience Gods grace.
Allow that grace to till your heart soil, grow your roots
deeper and blossom in to sweet fruit.
You are encouraged to post Growing Deeply on your
refrigerator or place in your Bible. If youre a tekkie, you
can access it at www.moumc.org/grow. Copies are also
available in the Connector and in the church office for pick
up.
Growing deeply,
Pastor Charity

My Notes

Growing Deeply Guide at moumc.org/grow
Printed copies are available at the Connector Desk.

And so here I am, preaching and writing about things that are way over my
head, the inexhaustible riches and generosity of Christ. My task is to bring
out in the open and make plain what God, who created all this in the first
place, has been doing in secret and behind the scenes all along. Through
followers of Jesus like yourselves gathered in churches, this extraordinary
plan of God is becoming known and talked about even among the angels!

This is my life work: helping people understand and respond to this

Message. It came as a sheer gift to me, a real surprise, God handling all
the details. When it came to presenting the Message to people who had no
background in Gods way, I was the least qualified of any of the available
Christians. God saw to it that I was equipped, but you can be sure that it
had nothing to do with my natural abilities.

Scripture: Ephesians 3:7-10
