At the height of Nazi power, amid the horrors of a concentration camp, the seeds of faith and forgiveness grew to fruition in the heart of a young Dutch woman named Corrie ten Boom. Outlasting Ravensbruck and Hitler's regime, Ms. ten Boom went on to accomplish what brute power never could: conquer hearts across the world with healing words of hope, forgiveness, and trust in God. Broadcast across Europe using the very radio equipment the Nazis had built to spread their propaganda, the inspirational messages of Corrie ten Boom appear at last in print. As in this book's predecessor, Reflections of God's Glory, the twenty-six sermonettes in Messages of God's Abundance are first-ever English translations of the scripts for Ms. ten Boom's Trans World Radio broadcasts from the Netherlands. Emerging after many years, these jewel-like writings reflect the broad experiences of a woman who preached the gospel around the world, yet who found her greatest adventure exploring the endless riches of God's Word. In 1983, Corrie ten Boom went to be with her beloved Jesus, but the timeless truths of Scripture spoken through the lips of this remarkable woman remain alive, vibrant, and as able as ever to touch, convict, and encourage our hearts.

What is grace? It is said that grace is unmerited favour. Paul said, "Now to him who works, the wages are not counted as grace but as debt" (Rom. 4:4). Therefore we can deduct that grace is the reward or blessing that is given to someone when the person did not work for it. It is grace that brought us from sin to righteousness, from the kingdom of darkness to the Kingdom of Light. The Word of God says, "For by grace you have been saved through faith, and that not of yourselves; it is the Gift of God, not of works, lest anyone should boast" (Eph. 2:8-9). We were saved by the Grace of God when we believed in the Lord Jesus Christ and accepted Him into our lives. The Love and Grace of God is seen in what He did for us, in that He raised us up together with Christ Jesus, and seated us together with Him at His Own Right Hand.

Grow your faith daily. Transform your life. Experience God in deeper ways by spending time in God’s Word. Daily Bible Study is the perfect resource for individuals who want to grow in their relationship with God and enhance their engagement with lessons in Adult Bible Studies. Designed to meet the needs of busy people, each daily reading includes a Scripture reference, a personal faith-related question, an explanation and application of the biblical text, and a prayer, all on one page. Available in print and eBook and as an app. Additional information about Daily Bible Study, Fall 2023 Theme: God Provides This fall, Daily Bible Study presents a series of readings supporting the theme “God Provides.” These readings explore the basic human needs of food, water, and shelter and the vulnerability that comes to those who lack access to them. They remind us of God’s gracious provision in meeting these needs and our responsibility to help secure these necessities for those who lack them. These daily readings come from Old and New Testament texts, prepare us for the lessons in Adult Bible Studies, and are written by Timothy Merrill, Taylor Mills, and Sue Mink. Unit 1 Food Readings in this unit remind us of God’s generous provision of food for humans and wild creatures and of our responsibility to offer sustenance for those who are hungry and in need. Scriptures: Exodus 16:2-9, 31-32 | 1 Kings 17:16; 19:8 | Mark 6:30-44 | Luke 14:1-15 Spiritual Practice: Feasting Unit 2 Water Scripture uses the motif of water in many ways, which the readings in this unit explore. Water represents a metaphor for chaos, historical enemies, judgment of God, devastation of drought-stricken land, and personal distress. Water is also a gift from God for the flourishing of all creation, refreshment for body and soul, and source of eternal life embodied in Jesus. Thirst for water and provision of water are metaphors for the human relationship with God. Scriptures: Genesis 21:9-21 | Exodus 17:1-7 | Psalm 42 | John 7:32-44 | Matthew 25:31-46 Spiritual Practice: Creation Care Unit 3 Shelter The economic and social vulnerabilities that lead people to experience homelessness today do not have ancient analogies in Scripture. Even so, the physical security of home is a relevant theological idea. Although various biblical texts may make it easy to focus our attention on spiritual shelter in God’s presence, those who experience such a home in God find resources to extend hospitality and care through various means with those who today are experiencing homelessness. Scriptures: Exodus 29:42-46 | Psalm 27 | Deuteronomy 8:1-20 |John 1:1-14 Spiritual Practice: Hospitality

For the past several years the Lord has been revealing His patterns for life, holiness and success. He has been revealing His patterns for receiving His blessings, which have been available to us through His Holy Word. In these last days God is building and furnishing and clothing believers for the final hour for His return. The final "Ark" is being built in human vessels. God himself is preparing these human vessels so that He can have a place on earth for His glory to dwell that the glory of God may dwell upon this earth. The Church will never be the same. God is doing a new thing for those who have allowed change to come. God is shaking and cleaning His Church in preparation for His final hour. It is time for believers to go forth into the "Market Place" and do the work of the Lord without delay with signs and wonders and miracles. I pray that this teaching tool will be a blessing to all and that you will learn the way of God thus walking in the blessings of almighty God.
