In him you also are being built together into a dwelling place for God by the Spirit.” (Ephesians 2:19-22)

Faith for Change
“Now the Lord is the Spirit, and where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom. And we all, with unveiled face, beholding the glory of the Lord, are being transformed into the same image from one degree of glory to another. For this comes from the Lord who is the Spirit” (2 Corinthians 3:18)

God to give us faith to take steps toward change
Our attitudes and behaviors would be transformed and
renewed by the Gospel
We would live a life characterized by repentance and faith
That we would be experiencing increased freedom in our lives
That we would be “beholding the glory of the Lord” — seeking God by His Word and through prayer
Covenant Group ministry would be a means for accomplishing lasting change
That we would be a community of “people in need of change helping people in need of change”

Morning Meditation Psalm: Psalm 13
Song: “Solid Rock”
Faith in Trials
“Count it all joy, my brothers, when you meet trials of various kinds, for you know that the testing of your faith produces steadfastness. And let steadfastness have its full effect, that you may be perfect and complete, lacking in nothing. If any of you lacks wisdom, let him ask God, who gives generously to all without reproach, and it will be given to him” (James 1:1-5)
Pray for….
-Strengthening of faith for all in the church who are suffering
-God to heal those who are physically afflicted
-Comfort for those who are mourning
-Depressed to sense the nearness of the Lord
-God to give faith to the church to pray for healing
-Restoration of broken relationships that have caused pain
-Peace and trust for those who are questioning “Why?”
-We would be a church filled with people who are steadfast under trial, who hope in God, who love Jesus more than our own lives or comfort, and who are a witness to the world in our suffering.
