Preparing for the Gathering - Ephesians 6:18-20

November 9, 2022 by Sam Walker Preparing for Sunday

Prepare your heart for our Sunday Morning Gathering by looking through these suggestions that will assist you in making the most of our time together.

You will find tangible suggestions for putting scripture to action in your personal life and in our corporate body, links to the songs we will sing, and lyrics for you to prepare for our corporate singing.

Please see the Preparing for the Sermon post for suggestions in thinking more critically through the passage, meditating more intently on the text, and prayerfully seeking wisdom to deepen your understanding of the passage to be preached this Sunday.

Intentionally Act

Read Ephesians 6:10–20
Read 1 Thessalonians 5. See how these two sections are related. How can you change your prayer to be more like the instructions of these scriptures?
Who are you praying for in our body this week? Pray for the one preaching, pray for those leading the gathering of the saints, pray for those teaching (adults and children), pray for the growth groups, pray for your own growth group, pray for other like-minded churches meeting this Sunday, pray for the lost, and any others you are close to you and the body as a whole.
Let your prayers shape your conversations with one another and let the gospel be bold in your prayer and your conversations, at all levels of discipleship. What levels of discipleship are you in or could you be in if you are not?
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.
Pray for those leading our corporate gathering this week and for the Holy Spirit’s work as the Word of God is further explained and applied: Dawson Bryant: music; Sam Karl: Elders' prayer & scripture reading; Rob Stouffer: teaching.
