For discussion this week:
—When was the last time you had someone come and stay at your house for a visit? How motivated were you to prepare for that visit?
—What is the difference between trying to BE SAVED by works and having works flow from the power of God in your life because you ARE SAVED?
—Why does the fruit of our lives matter when it comes to the evidence of our salvation?
