Prayer Wednesday

I received an email this week from a guy at SPL who wants to connect with his buddies and invite them into a 40-day ‘build our marriages stronger’ opportunity.

And he’s going to do it with his work buddies, NOT his church buddies! He wasn’t sure if it was a good idea, so he emailed to ask what I thought. I think it’s the best idea I’ve heard all year. This is EXACTLY what a ‘roof-ripping’ friend looks like. I was jealous I hadn’t thought of it.

Psalm 90 is a humble prayer that acknowledges how quickly life passes, how soon our run through this life is over, and how eternal our LORD is. Psalm 90 finishes with these words of prayer:

“May the favour of the LORD our God rest up on us;
establish the work of our hands for us
yes, establish the work of our hands.”

Amen!

Let’s pray today for creative, bold, and risky opportunities to invite people into the hope Jesus has given us! 

Praying with you.

Andrew

Luke 3:1-20 - The first mention of baptism in the Bible begins with John. John was the cousin of Jesus and also His opening act. John called the people of his day to "Get Ready." The public sign of a life getting ready for God was, and still is, baptism. Get washed so God can do what God wants to do.

Revelation 21:1-8 - Jesus wins; Jesus has already won; stay faithful to Jesus! This is the message of John’s sometimes confusing book of Revelation. It is full of encouragement and hope for disciples. Jesus, the Lamb, is on the throne. And he is preparing a future for us that includes heaven and so much more!

Acts 21:37–22:22 - Acts 21 finds Paul in Jerusalem, at the Temple, getting beaten for his faith in Jesus. In a wild turn of events, Paul had the opportunity to talk to those who wanted to kill him. What do you say to people who want you dead? Paul told his story—a story of his own self-righteous zeal, of Jesus meeting him in an unmistakable way, and of a kind believer who stood with him. What a great testimony!

Acts 13:16-44 -Paul and Barnabas made their way through the known world, telling everyone they met about Jesus and the Resurrection. In one synagogue, Paul told the Jews their history, but he told it differently than they’d heard it before. He showed how God had often given Israel a second chance. He went on to explain that Jesus was their second, and final, chance. Some of their listeners believed; others hated the message. Nobody likes being told they’re wrong.

Acts 3:1-21 - Now what? The story of Acts is what happens after the death and resurrection of Jesus. God takes ordinary people, fills them with His Spirit, and sends them out into the world. It's a crazy idea! Peter and John transform an everyday visit to the Temple into a medical miracle and preach a compelling message to boot. Hundreds of people come to trust Jesus. Just another day of walking in the Spirit.

John 20:24-29 - All through his ministry, Jesus took time to speak with individuals. Even after the resurrection, he never changed course. John records an interaction with Thomas that speaks to doubt and the struggle it is for each of us to believe.
