The Vineyard
I am the vine; you
are the branches. Whoever abides in me and I in him, he it is that bears much
fruit, for apart from me you can do nothing. – John 15:5
Philippians
2:1-11
- Humility
was seen as a distinctly Christian virtue, in that the Roman world saw it as a
short-coming. How is humility a positive
thing?
- What
does it mean that the very Son of God poured himself out in service to
others? If Jesus was willing to give of
himself so fully, what reason do we have to not give of ourselves?
- What
does it mean to confess Jesus as Christ?
How does doing so identify us with his life?
Prayer
- Pray
for those who struggle to clothe and feed themselves. Pray that our gifts will be a blessing to
them, and that the love of God will be shown through our care and concern for
them.
- Pray
for the older members of our church who have served the Lord, and by extension
us, so faithfully. Pray that they will
be blessed with continued health and happiness.
- Pray
for those who live in nursing homes or care facilities, often feeling forgotten
by the rest of the world. Pray that our
cards and visits will brighten their day.
Also pray for those caring for them.
