Gathering Recap - 02/12/2023 - Seven Churches: Sardis

Call to worship:

For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
    neither are your ways my ways, declares the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth,
    so are my ways higher than your ways
    and my thoughts than your thoughts.

Isaiah 55:8-9

Questions for reflection:

David Cassidy says the temptation of the church in any time is to imitate, dominate, or isolate with the culture. What do you see happening today?

If God calls us to be a people in His world, with His word, called to be His witnesses, where do you need growth?

Corporate Prayer:

Our Father in Heaven, We thank you for this life with its celebrations and sorrows. We are grateful that you have been with us for every moment. For the wounds we’ve encountered, we ask you to heal us. For the wounds we’ve inflicted, we ask you to forgive us. As we embark into this year we pray for your guidance and direction. Grant us a hunger for your word, a passion for prayer, and a love for people. Let us reflect you well in all that we say and do. For the glory of Christ we pray, amen.
