This morning, we began our devotions together we a special guest: we spent time thanking Dean Adamek and encouraging him for all the grace that is on display here at the ranch.  That was fabulous. 

Mitch Thorson led devotions for us this morning from Ephesians 2:1-7:

And you were dead in the trespasses and sins in which you once walked, following the course of this world, following the prince of the power of the air, the spirit that is now at work in the sons of disobedience—among whom we all once lived in the passions of our flesh, carrying out the desires of the body and the mind, and were by nature children of wrath, like the rest of mankind. But God, being rich in mercy, because of the great love with which he loved us, even when we were dead in our trespasses, made us alive together with Christ—by grace you have been saved—and raised us up with him and seated us with him in the heavenly places in Christ Jesus, so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus.

Using half a donkey’s jaw bone and Gabe Lewis as examples, Mitch showed us the difference between being dead and alive.  We’ve been made alive together with Christ!  Even more than that, we have been shown “the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness towards us in Christ Jesus.”

Finally, we’ve been praying for Travis, Terry, and Corbin Grabb all week.  Coach provided an update this morning.
