Intentionally Act
- Pray that you may have opportunity to put v. 14 into practice this week. How will the reminder to “let all that you do be done in love” affect a situation or relationship in your life?
- Thank God for the men he has appointed as elders at SWBC. Pray that God would give you a humble heart to joyfully be subject to them and give recognition to them. In what ways could you give more recognition to them, both publicly and privately?
- Pray that God would bring someone to my mind who may need a refreshing of their spirit and a great encouragement this week. How might you be like Stephanas, Fortunatas, and Achaicus, refreshing their spirit and encouraging them in Christ?
- Click the links below to find the lyrics and recordings of the songs planned for our gathering this Sunday; practice the songs, study the lyrics and sing together.
