Speaker:And let us consider how to stir up one another to love
Speaker:and good works, not neglecting to meet together as is the
Speaker:habit of some, but encouraging one another
Speaker:all the more as you see the day drawing near. Hebrews
Speaker:1024 to 25, taken from the ESV.
Speaker:Heavenly father, creator of all and the
Speaker:embodied essence of community and love.
Speaker:And we gather in your name, grateful and humbled by the wonders of your
Speaker:grace. We declare your sovereignty and thank
Speaker:you for the eternal truths that guide us, your
Speaker:presence, your word, and your steadfast love that
Speaker:never ceases.
Speaker:Thank you, Lord, for the gift of companionship and the many
Speaker:ways you mold our character through the relationships and communities
Speaker:you place us in. May
Speaker:we be better attuned to the ways we can encourage and uplift one
Speaker:another, spurring each other on towards love and good
Speaker:works? In a world
Speaker:that sometimes can feel isolating, remind us to
Speaker:seek communion, to share the joys and
Speaker:shoulder the burdens of our fellow sojourners, reflecting your
Speaker:love in all we do. We lift up those
Speaker:around us, asking for your strength and wisdom to
Speaker:permeate our interactions. May our
Speaker:gatherings be reflections of your kingdom, spaces where grace
Speaker:abounds and every individual is honored as your cherished creation.
Speaker:And in the quiet places of our hearts, may we be transformed
Speaker:by your spirit, growing even more in your likeness,
Speaker:more loving, more giving, and more courageous.
Speaker:We pray for those who feel isolated, that they may be
Speaker:enveloped in a community that echoes your love, And for those
Speaker:facing challenges, that their bonds of fellowship would be a source
Speaker:of strength and comfort. Guide us as we
Speaker:walk this journey to be your hands and feet in a world that so
Speaker:desperately needs your touch. In Jesus' name,
Speaker:amen. So as you
Speaker:go through your week, I wanna encourage you. Take the time to
Speaker:reflect. Reflect on Hebrews 1024 to
Speaker:25. Consider how you might stir up love and good
Speaker:works within your community, and then engage.
Speaker:Join or initiate a community gathering where you can practice encouragement
Speaker:and support one another, where they're sharing a meal,
Speaker:serving together, or simply meeting to discuss life's journeys in
Speaker:faith, and finally pray.
Speaker:Here's some prayer points to keep in mind. Pray for those who
Speaker:are seeking community, that they may find a place where they are
Speaker:welcomed and can grow in love and friendship.
Speaker:And then ask god to help us recognize opportunities to encourage
Speaker:others in their faith and to act boldly in seizing those
Speaker:moments. And then pray for your personal
Speaker:transformation. That in our interactions with others,
Speaker:we would be more like Jesus, showcasing his heart for
Speaker:people and serving as agents of healing and peace in our
Speaker:communities. You can check the show
