The Vineyard- March 16, 2014

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 4:1-9
Pray for God to speak to you through the reading of His word. 
Read the passage. 
-          Christ is bigger than our differences
o   Sometimes we allow our differences, or disagreements, to have far more influence than they should.  Christ is bigger than both our difference and our disagreements.  Are you allowing things that are relatively small compared to Christ, keep you at odds with someone?
-          Praying about everything, anxious about nothing
o   When anxiety presses in on you, how do you handle it?  Is your first reaction to pray?  If not, why not?  What worries and cares are you holding onto, that you need to release to God?
-          What a wonderful world
o   Despite the brokenness we encounter every day, the world is still a beautiful place, created by an awesome God.  The talent of an artist, the scope of the night sky, the beauty of creation, the laugh of a child; all these things point us to God.  Are you slowing down enough to take notice of them? 
Pray that we will find unity and reconciliation in Christ.    
Pray that our prayer lives will be so comprehensive, that we are released from our anxiety.

Pray that God will open our eyes to the beauty around us.
