Pray
Have someone read this aloud:
Philippians 3:7-9
“But whatever gain I had, I counted as loss for the sake of Christ. Indeed, I count everything as loss because of the surpassing worth of knowing Christ Jesus my Lord. For his sake I have suffered the loss of all things and count them as rubbish, in order that I may gain Christ and be found in him, not having a righteousness of my own that comes from the law, but that which comes through faith in Christ”
Father God, remind us that we are in Christ, and our righteousness is found in Him. Strengthen our faith through your word and grace. Amen
Reflect and Rejoice
Take a minute to sit in silence and reflect on the past week. What can you praise God for in the midst of this season?
After a few moments, if you are participating with others, ask specific people to share what came to mind.
After sharing, have someone pray, or read this aloud:
Father, thank you for all of these blessings. We praise you Lord. You are unchanging, and always faithful! Amen.
