The Vineyard- October 20, 2013

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

Genesis 18:1-33
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
Read the passage. 
-          The person of faith is hospitable
o   How do you show hospitality to others? 
o   Do you show hospitality to strangers and to those incapable of paying you back or returning the favor in some way?
-          The person of faith instructs
o   How do you instruct your children, grandchildren, or others around you about who Jesus is, and what it means to follow Him?
o   What example do you set as a Christian?
-          The person of faith intercedes
o   What is your attitude toward those caught in lifestyles of sin and self-destructive behavior?  Are you glad to see them “get what they deserve”?  Or, do you pray for opportunities to share with them about God’s mercy and grace? 
o   How often do you pray for your enemies, and for those who need to come to repentance?  Does your heart break for these people?
Pray that we will show hospitality, especially to those who are incapable of returning the favor in any way. 
Pray that we will seize every chance to instruct others, through our words and deeds, about Christ. 

Pray that we will intercede for the sinners of our world with compassionate hearts.
