2 Corinthians 5:21 New Living Translation (NLT)
21 For God made Christ, who never sinned, to be the offering for our sin, so that we could be made right with God through Christ.
2 Corinthians 5:21
Dealing With Sin in the Church
15“If your brother or sister b sins, c go and point out their fault, just between the two of you. If they listen to you, you have won them over.
16But if they will not listen, take one or two others along, so that ‘every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.’ d
17If they still refuse to listen, tell it to the church; and if they refuse to listen even to the church, treat them as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
18“Truly I tell you, whatever you bind on earth will be e bound in heaven, and whatever you loose on earth will be f loosed in heaven.
19 “Again, truly I tell you that if two of you on earth agree about anything they ask for, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven.
Matthew 18:19-20
20 For where two or three gather in my name, there am I with them.”

John 16:8 (ESV)
8 And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment:Then he says not to delay: “I tell you, now is the time of God’s favor, now is the day of salvation” (2 Corinthians 6:2)
3 how shall we escape if we neglect such a great salvation? This salvation was first announced by the Lord, was confirmed to us by those who heard Him,
4and was affirmed by God through signs, wonders, various miracles, and gifts of the Holy Spirit distributed according to His will.
Is it our birthday? Is it Christmas?
Or is it the long awaited Day of Salvation?
Today you will receive gifts of the Holy Spirit, distributed by accordance to God’s Word and His will!
Thank you Heavenly Father for all you have given.
Hallowed be Your Name, Your will be done in earth, as it is in heaven.

The Parable of the Wandering Sheep
10“See that you do not despise one of these little ones. For I tell you that their angels in heaven always see the face of my Father in heaven.
[11] a For the Son of man is come to save that which was lost.
12“What do you think?
If a man owns a hundred sheep, and one of them wanders away, will he not leave the ninety-nine on the hills and go to look for the one that wandered off?
Matthew 18:12b-14
13And if he finds it, truly I tell you, he is happier about that one sheep than about the ninety-nine that did not wander off.
14In the same way your Father in heaven is not willing that any of these little ones should perish.

13 Blessed is the man who finds wisdom, the man who acquires understanding,
14 for she is more profitable than silver,
and her gain is better than fine gold.15 She is more precious than rubies;
nothing you desire compares with her.16 Long life is in her right hand;
in her left hand are riches and honor.17 All her ways are pleasant,
and all her paths are peaceful18 She is a tree of life for those who embrace her,
and those who lay hold of her are blessed.
The Greatest in the Kingdom of Heaven
1 At that time the disciples came to Jesus and asked, “Who, then, is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven?”
2He called a little child to him, and placed the child among them.
3And he said:
“Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven.
Matthew 17:3b
4Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.
5And whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me.
For the Son of Man has come to save that which has been lost.
Matthew 18:11

For the director of music. To the tune of “The Doe of the Morning.” A psalm of David.
1 My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?
Psalm 22:1, Matthew 27:46, Mark 15:34
Why are you so far from saving me,
so far from my cries of anguish?
2My God, I cry out by day, but you do not answer,
by night, but I find no rest.
3Yet you are enthroned as the Holy One;
you are the one Israel praises.
4In you our ancestors put their trust;
they trusted and you delivered them.
5To you they cried out and were saved;
in you they trusted and were not put to shame.
19But you, Lord, do not be far from me.
You are my strength; come quickly to help me.
20Deliver me from the sword,
my precious life from the power of the dogs.
21Rescue me from the mouth of the lions;
save me from the horns of the wild oxen.
22I will declare your name to my people;
in the assembly I will praise you.
23You who fear the Lord, praise him!
All you descendants of Jacob, honor him!
Revere him, all you descendants of Israel!
24For he has not despised or scorned
the suffering of the afflicted one;
he has not hidden his face from him
but has listened to his cry for help.
25From you comes the theme of my praise in the great assembly;
before those who fear you f I will fulfill my vows.
26The poor will eat and be satisfied;
those who seek the Lord will praise him—
may your hearts live forever!
27All the ends of the earth
will remember and turn to the Lord,
and all the families of the nations
will bow down before him,
28for dominion belongs to the Lord
and he rules over the nations.
29All the rich of the earth will feast and worship;
all who go down to the dust will kneel before him—
those who cannot keep themselves alive.
30Posterity will serve him;
future generations will be told about the Lord.
31They will proclaim his righteousness,
declaring to a people yet unborn:
He has done it!

Ask any questions to God about money. Seek His ways and wisdom
Trust in the Lord with all your heart. He has given us knowledge, direction and the paths of righteousness. Lean not on our imperfect understanding. Let us pray for His Holiness and ask for help
But to each one of us grace has been given as Christ apportioned it. Ephesians 4:7
Ephesians 4 – Unity and Maturity in the Ministry of Christ, the Church as a Body
