Week 3: “We”

Sunday, February 9

Pray for Transformation.

Ephesians 4:11-16: And he gave the apostles, the prophets, the evangelists, the shepherds and teachers, to equip the saints for the work of ministry, for building up the body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of the faith and of the knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the measure of the stature of the fullness of Christ, so that we may no longer be children, tossed to and fro by the waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by human cunning, by craftiness in deceitful schemes. Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

A key thought to praying through from this passage is the continued idea of attaining unity by the faith and knowledge of the Son of God. In our unity, how are we being transformed and maturing into the fullness of Christ? There’s an imperfectly progressing maturation for those who follow Jesus in the knowledge and relationship we have with Him and with others. Pray for unity among those at our campus as we invest in the next generation and pursue campusing, outreach, and leadership development.
