1 Chronicles 17-18

Psalm 37

SUNDAY SERMON

The sermon for Sunday, August 18 will be on Philippians 4:8-9. Maybe take some time to ponder this passage before the Sunday gathering, to prepare your heart for the preaching of God’s Word.

PRAY

For the months of July and August in our Daily Worship we will be praying through our Five Loves during the week and our Mission and Vision statements on the weekend.  

To honor God by making more disciples for Jesus Christ and equipping them for growth and service. 

The word “disciple” means “follower.” To be a Christian is to be a lifelong follower of Jesus Christ, seeking, by grace, to become more like him. As we proclaim the gospel, we desire to see more and more people believing in and following Jesus Christ. By equipping them for growth and service, our hope is that these disciples will, in turn, make more disciples. 

• Pray that God would grow our culture of discipleship at Faith. 

• If you’re discipling others right now, pray for them. Ask God to continue to grow them in their faith and lift up any needs you know of. 

• If you’re being discipled by someone, pray for that person. Ask God to encourage and grow him or her in faith and love. 

• If you’re not discipling someone else or being discipled, ask God to open the doors for these kinds of relationships. Seek God’s wisdom as to how to go about this.  

• Ask that God would equip you to grow and serve him.  

QUESTIONS FOR FAITH GROUPS

• What are some things that are honorable, just, pure, commendable, etc. 
• What are the things that we have learned, received, and seen in Paul? 
• How does “thinking about these things” help us? 
• What do we learn about discipleship from these verses? 
• How can we apply these verses when we are tempted to sin or be anxious or jealous, etc.?
