YOU CAN PRAY WITH US ...

1. Worship the LORD for His surpassing holiness and glory. Praise Him, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, that no one and no thing can possibly compare with Him in His beauty and worth!

2. How have you committed your time and energies to your own mission, rather than engaging in the work that Jesus has given you to do? Confess your negligence to Jesus, asking Him to forgive you and help you to regain your purpose in His Kingdom.

3. Read John 10:10-11. Give thanks to Jesus that He is the Good Shepherd, God in the flesh, who laid down His life for His sheep. Thank Him for becoming the Lamb who was slaughtered where you should have been!

4. Who do you know that is harassed and helpless, like a sheep without a shepherd? Jesus told you to pray, so pray for them, and ask the Lord of the harvest to send workers to them (and that likely would include you).

5. Ask the Holy Spirit to grow you in your knowledge of the Gospel, your ability to express it, your compassion for those who do not yet believe, and your courage to continue especially when the world does not readily listen.

Looking Back

The Facilitator is a study tool designed to help you engage with the weekly sermon through the five elements we incorporate in our Community Groups; Get Acquainted & Sharing, Sermon Study, Mission, Worship and Prayer. This tool will be made available Monday morning to give us the opportunity to look back at what we heard on Sunday.
