Consider how you can allow God’s grace to shape +your attitudes, decisions, and relationships. When faced with temptation or difficulty, remind +yourself that you are no longer under the reign of sin and death, but under the reign of grace. +Actively seek to reflect Christ’s righteousness in your daily life, extending grace to others as you +have received it from God. + +## Prayer Focus +This is Mission Emphasis Month at CrossPointe. This week, focus on the mission at home. We +often give generously to support global missions, but we must also give to fund the local ministry +initiatives at CrossPointe.
