  • Holy and Blameless
    on July 18, 2025 at 7:00 am

    1 Thessalonians 2:5-12Dear Father,Keep all your preachers from using words of flattery, any cloak of greed, or from seeking glory for themselves, even though they have certain rights of support in the gospel. Let them reach out to people with care and gentleness, like a nurse caring for infants. Help them to be willing to share not only the gospel but their very selves.May your witnesses exhibit holy, blameless, and righteous behavior, showing the care of a father, even as you do, as they exhort and encourage and charge people to lead lives worthy of you, the great wonderful and loving God who calls men into his own kingdom and glory.In the holy name of Jesus.

Please defeat those that serve to bring honor to themselves instead of you.May people leading these ministries avoid everything that springs from error or uncleanness. Let there be no deceit in any appeal. Let those whom you have entrusted with the gospel live and speak not to please others but to please you.In the holy name of Jesus.

    1 Thessalonians 1:2-8Dear Father,Thank you for the great numbers of believers in Jesus Christ, for their works of faith, their labors of love, and their steadfastness of hope which they have in Christ. Thank you for choosing all of us and calling us to yourself by the Good News about Jesus.

  • Living as a New Creation
    on July 14, 2025 at 7:00 am

    Galatians 6:12-18Dear Father, creator of new creations,Far be it from me to glory except in the cross of Jesus Christ, by which the world has been crucified to me and I to the world. For neither circumcision avails anything, nor uncircumcision, but a new creation!Let your peace and mercy rain down upon all of us who walk by this rule, upon the Israel of God, called both from Jews and from non-Jewish people.Thank you, Father, for calling me to be part of your holy nation.Let us take no thought for any identifying marks on our bodies, except the evidences of our suffering for the sake of Jesus.Help us never to glory in the flesh, or to give ourselves to be counted for someone else's glorying, except for this.In the name of Jesus I ask for his grace to be with our Spirits in this and in all our petitions.
