SUNDAY 13TH OF AUGUST, 2023
LESSON FIFTY (50)
TOPIC: DYNAMICS OF GRACE (PART 2)

OPENING PRAYER: Father, help me to serve You acceptably with reverence and godly fear throughout my life in Jesus’ name.

BIBLE PASSAGE: 2 Corinthians 8:6-9
[6]Insomuch that we desired Titus, that as he had begun, so he would also finish in you the same grace also.
[7]Therefore, as ye abound in every thing, in faith, and utterance, and knowledge, and in all diligence, and in your love to us, see that ye abound in this grace also.
[8]I speak not by commandment, but by occasion of the forwardness of others, and to prove the sincerity of your love.
[9]For ye know the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, that, though he was rich, yet for your sakes he became poor, that ye through his poverty might be rich.
