Pray

Prayer prompts for sacrificial love and life together.

This week's prayer focus: Ask the Father to make us a community marked by the love of Christ - not only in words, but in action and in truth.

Thank God for His love demonstrated on the cross. Remember that Christian love begins with the love we have first received in Jesus.

Pray: Father, thank You for loving me first in Christ. Help me receive Your love before I try to extend it to others.

Ask for the Holy Spirit's power to love one another well, especially when love feels costly, inconvenient, or beyond your own strength.

Pray: Holy Spirit, give me the power to love where my own effort runs out. Make the love of Jesus visible in me.

Lift up specific needs shared during discussion, around the table, or within the church family. Ask God to make us attentive and available.

Pray: Lord, open my eyes to the needs around me. Show me where I can pray, listen, serve, give, or simply be present.

Commit to being a community marked by sacrificial love - a people who open doors to grace, create space for formation, and set tables of renewal.

Pray: Jesus, make Redeemer Fellowship a people who love in action and truth. Let our tables become places of welcome, healing, and friendship.
