This morning, we are beginning a short series from Philippians 4:4-9 that we are calling The Renewed Mind: Gospel-Filtered Thinking. In this first sermon, we’ll see that Paul believes that the gospel leads to joy, reasonableness, and peace. In fact, the fact that God has loved us so fully and transformed us so thoroughly out to change our entire outlook in life. Pray with us this week as we prepare to hear from our Great God!
Prayer Guide: April 28, 2019 – Philippians 4:4-7
1. Give thanks to the great God of salvation, to the One whose love and grace has given us new life and a new outlook on life.
2. Ask God to make you increasingly joyful, no matter the circumstances you face, as you walk closely with the Lord.
3. Ask God to make you increasingly humble. Pray for grace to prioritize the needs of others and to respond to people in a way that is consistent with the grace that God has shown you.
4. Pray that God would strengthen your faith and trust in Him so that in times of difficulty and hardship, you will not be overcome with fear and anxiety.
5. Ask God to help you discipline yourself for the purpose of prayer.
6. Pray that God will give you opportunities this week to share the gospel with people who are not following Jesus.
7. Ask Him to do His work of salvation in the lives of people who heard the gospel during our Easter services.
