Sunday - July 29, 2012Ephesians 1:3-6 (NIV)Praise be to the God and Father of ourLord Jesus Christ, who has blessed us inthe heavenly realms with every spiritu-al blessing in Christ. For he chose us inhim before the creation of the world tobe holy and blameless in his sight. Inlove he predestined us for adoption tosonship through Jesus Christ, in accor-dance with his pleasure and will— tothe praise of his glorious grace, whichhe has freely given us in the One heloves.

Prayer:Thank God for the amazinggrace and love He has given to each oneof us in his Son, Jesus Christ. Praythat, as we expand our ministry to theBrodie campus, God uses our members

to spread that message of love andgrace to everyone we encounter.

Monday - July 30, 2012John 15:5 (NIV)“I am the vine; you are the branches. Ifyou remain in me and I in you, you willbear much fruit; apart from me youcan do nothing.”

Prayer: Thank God for our staff – ourpastors, our worship and music leaders,our administrative staff, our children’sministry leaders, our youth ministryleaders, our adult ministry leaders.Pray that as we expand to the Brodiecampus that each one of them bestrengthened and renewed and remind-ed that the key to fruitfulness is dailyabiding in Jesus.

Tuesday - July 31, 2012Luke 10:27 (NIV)He answered, “‘Love the Lord your Godwith all your heart and with all yoursoul and with all your strength andwith all your mind’; and, ‘Love yourneighbor as yourself.’”
