06.08 Pray for General Assembly and Stillnaz Summer
Dear Church,
This Sunday we began a new series out of Romans, especially focusing on the “good news!” Our memory verse for this part of our series is Romans 5:8. Notice that Paul uses the “active” tense when he says, “God demonstrates.” For Paul, God’s love is an active force for us. Ponder on that as you memorize this verse.
But God demonstrates his own love for us in this: While we were still sinners, Christ died for us. (Romans 5:8)
Pray for General Assembly
Tomorrow, June 9, the Nazarene General Assembly begins. It is an incredible privilege to be a part of a denomination sharing God’s life-changing news across the globe. As the delegates gather in Indianapolis, let us pray Jesus’ prayer in John 17 over them, asking God that “they may be brought to complete unity…so that the world will know that [God the Father] sent [Jesus] and have loved them even as [God the Father has loved Jesus].”
