Living It Out This Week

We all want to be part of a church which has nothing wrong with it. Yet, no church is perfect. However, Christ speaks only words of encouragement to this small and suffering church. May these verses help you be faithful.

Sunday-Revelation 2.8-11: A suffering church is a simple, solid, and purse church. Notice the encouragement in this brief letter. What encouragement do you need from Christ for this week? Spend time praying to Him who is alive.

Monday-Galatians 2.19-21: By the grace of Jesus we are summoned to be crucified with Him. Does our life look like Jesus? When people see us what and who do they see?

Tuesday-Philippians 3.7-14: Paul did not just say he wanted to gain Christ but wanted to participate in His sufferings. In a world that minimizes suffering this is counter-cultural. Spend some time reflecting on Christ’s suffering and our comfort. Pray for the suffering church in the World.

Wednesday-Mark 8.34-9.1: Take up our cross daily. A great concept but definitely hard to put into practice. What does taking up your cross look like for you? How is Christ being faithful to you?

Thursday-John 17.7-19: What sticks out about Jesus’ prayer for his disciples? We are not of the world anymore than Jesus was of the world. May this encourage you!

Friday-Hebrews 12.1-3: We are surrounded by those who come before us in the faith. Whose example helps you to persevere? Our goal is not suffering but looking to Jesus.

Saturday-Revelation 2.12-17: Join us in worship tomorrow! Pray for our worship tomorrow. Pray that our eyes would see the Lord! Invite someone to church.
