SWBC Shared Purpose
Pray that God would place a burden on His Church to tell others about Jesus, to preach the Gospel, and to recognize the deep significance of rejecting Him.
Father,
Fill me (and everyone in our church) with overflowing gratitude for your love and deep recognition of the cost of being separated from you so that the overflow of our hearts will lead us to share your love and glory with others.
Help us to see how you are working in the lives of the people around us and how you want us to point them to you.
Give me (and everyone in our church) a greater appreciation of the Gospel, and by your Holy Spirit, empower us to share the Gospel with boldness and love.
Reveal to those around us the greatness of your love for them, their desperate need for Jesus, and the joy of belonging to you.
Help us as a church to be good at welcoming people who are far from you and showing them the reality of your Spirit’s presence in our midst as you use us to draw them into a relationship with you.
Amen.
2 Corinthians 5:18-21: All this is from God, who through Christ reconciled us to himself and gave us the ministry of reconciliation; that is, in Christ God was reconciling the world to himself, not counting their trespasses against them, and entrusting to us the message of reconciliation. Therefore, we are ambassadors for Christ, God making his appeal through us. We implore you on behalf of Christ, be reconciled to God. For our sake he made him to be sin who knew no sin, so that in him we might become the righteousness of God.
