This is Pastor Daniel Stevenson, I'm Director of the Southside Life Station and Pastor of
New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church of East Lido, and you're receiving this message because
you opted in to be encouraged.
I'm thinking today of Ephesians 3, 8, the New Testament book Ephesians chapter 3 verse
8.
It says, to me, the very least of all the saints this grace was given, to preach to
the Gentiles the unfathomable riches of Christ.
Paul was talking about himself and much has been made of how he said he was the very least
of all the saints.
A saint is a holy one, a servant of God, and he was that.
I think about myself and I think about the things that I did that would keep me out of
heaven, the things that I did that would send me to hell, we all have sinned and fall short
of the glory of God.
But the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ, his Son.
And so I am grateful to be saved now, to have a Lord and a Savior, and I hope you are as
well.
Then, it is grace that we are given the opportunity to preach, to proclaim, to teach the truth
of the unfathomable riches of Christ to anyone that's in our circle, anyone that we're in
contact with.
It's grace because it's more than we deserve.
It's grace because we now have a place to belong, a thing to do, a person to be.
We can grow and grow and grow until Jesus comes again, and we can serve and serve and
serve and give and give and give.
Get involved in your local church, serve Christ until Jesus comes again.

There's information there about New Heights Fellowship Baptist Church Services.
You can go to the church hunting page and look for a church in your area.
And there's a good lesson on there about what a good local church is.
I know sometimes it's hard to find a good local church to belong to.
God wants you where God has put you.
And that means by His grace, preaching the unfathomable riches of Christ whenever you
possibly can.
God bless you today.
