Mid-Week Prayer, October 22

A reflection:

"Unless the Lord builds the house, those who build it labor in vain.  Unless the Lord watches over the city, the watchman stays awake in vain."                                          -Psalm 127:1-2

This week's requests:

- Pray for the potential opportunity for a building:  for God's guidance, for our discernment of his leading, for our unity, for wisdom for the whole process, for financial provision, and for vision of how a permanent location fits with and expands our mission.
- Pray for God to make Jesus' presence so real in our midst that unbelievers who worship with us are drawn to faith in him.

Mid-Week Prayer, October 15

Reflection:

"Almighty God, our heavenly Father, the privilege is ours to share in the loving, healing, reconciling mission of your Son Jesus Christ, our Lord, in this age and wherever we are.  Since without you we can do no good thing,
May your Spirit make us wise;
May your Spirit guide us;
May your Spirit renew us;
May your Spirit strengthen us;
So that we will be:
Strong in faith,
Discerning in proclamation,
Courageous in witness,
Persistent in good deeds.
This we ask through the name of the Father."
                                                                             -- Church of the Province of the West Indies

This week's requests:

- Pray specifically for 3 to 5 people you believe that need to know the grace of Jesus Christ.  Commit to praying for them over the long haul.  Pray that God would provide you ways to minister in word and deed to these people (just like Jesus modeled for us). Put in a good word for the gospel and then flesh out the gospel for them in practical deeds of love and mercy.

Mid-Week Prayer, October 8

Reflections:

"Sing praise to the Lord who dwells in Zion; proclaim to the peoples the things he has done."  -- Psalm 9:11

"May God be merciful to us and bless us, show us the light of his countenance and come to us."  -- Psalm 67:1

"Awesome things will you show us in your righteousness, O God of our salvation, O Hope of all the ends of the earth and of the seas that are far away."  -- Psalm 65:5


This week's requests:

- Pray for God to guide us as we continue to work towards purchasing a building.  For God to make this building a place that helps serve our purpose of worshipping together, building community, and serving Memphis.  Pray for it to be strategically located and very functional for our ministry needs.  Pray for God's wisdom as we search, work on budget considerations, and evaluate potential floor plans.  Pray also for Christ's provision.

Mid-Week Prayer, October 2

A reflection:
"Give ear to my words, O Lord; consider my groaning.  Give attention to the sound of my cry, my King and my God, for to you do I pray... I, through the abundance of your steadfast love, will enter your house.  I will bow down toward your holy temple in the fear of you.  Lead me, O Lord, in your righteousness because of my enemies; make your way straight before me... Let all who take refuge in you rejoice; let them ever sing for joy, and spread your protection over them, that those who love your name may exult in you.  For you bless the righteous, O Lord; you cover him with favor as with a shield."                  - Psalm 5:1-2,7-8, 11-12

This week's requests:
- Pray for Harvest Fest, our joint picnic with Christ Quest this Sunday.  Pray for a great time of fellowship and encouragement, and a deepening of relationships.
- Pray for our Events Team.  This team plans and coordinates our people in organizing our large group party events, which provide the opportunities for us to enjoy life together at Redeemer, as well as a venue for our neighbors to join us in celebrating the festival joy we experience in God's Kingdom.
