O God, with all our hearts, we long for you. Come, transform us to be Christ-centred, Spirit-empowered, Mission-focused people, multiplying disciples everywhere.
BIBLE READINGS:
REFLECTION QUESTIONS:
- If an angel asked you to tell someone “the full message of this new life.” how would you describe it? How has your new life in Christ transformed you?
- Is your experience of the fullness of life in Christ so rich that you would rejoice to be counted worthy of suffering disgrace for his name? What might it look like for you to experience the joy of Jesus more fully?
- The apostles considered their witness about Christ an act of obedience. What act of obedience is God asking from you?
PERSONAL PRAYER:
- That our mission-focused vision would be fuelled by our fulsome experience of our new life in Christ.
- That the greatest joy of our lives would be introducing people to Jesus, even when it comes at a cost to us.
LISTENING PRAYER:
- Jesus, what is one aspect of the new life you have given me that I could share with someone this week?
MISSIONAL PRAYER:
- Red Deer (Sylvan Lake, Lacombe) | Pray for collaborative regional leadership and healthy hub-and-spoke ministry across Central Alberta.
- Pray for International Workers. The calling to be a missionary and proclaim the name of Jesus comes with a sacrifice: careers, community, stability, comfort. Pray that International Workers would find new, chosen family in their host countries; that transitions would be smoother, language would not be a barrier, and that Jesus would provide all they need. Pray for the children of International workers, that they would build solid connections in both their countries of origin and their host countries.
