Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance, perseverance, character, and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, who has been given to us.

Romans 5:1-5

 

Pray for YBL & WBL Directors

Pray for Rob, Sharon, and Drew as they meet with many people toward the end of the year.  May conversations be gospel-filled and life-giving.  “Like apples of gold in settings of silver is a word spoken in right circumstances.”  Proverbs 25:11

Pray for Our Community Relationships

Pray for the ongoing impact of each of the above events within the Birmingham and Jackson communities.  Pray that men and women will be stirred more deeply to consider how to put their faith into action in their workspaces and beyond into any areas where they may have the opportunity to dialogue with those who may not have a relationship with Christ. 

Pray for our Small Group Leaders

Pray for leaders to be faithful in their calling and faithful to the teachings of scripture as they lead their studies.  Pray for new groups that will be starting in January and that good relationships will be formed among one another.  Pray for strong relationships as we seek to incorporate new people into existing groups in the new year. 

Special Events/Ministry

Pray for strong planning and the logistics of all events for 2023.  Pray for strong and clear gospel messages at each event and that believers will bring unbelieving friends and coworkers.
