As we continue to answer the question Why Jesus Came in the month of December, we come to our next Advent theme – peace. Jesus traveled through Galilee and came into contact with all sorts of people. In Mark 2:13-17, Jesus sees and calls a tax collector named Levi to Himself. The call of Jesus is the call to peace. Through relationship with Jesus, we have peace with God. Will you join with your church family in prayer this week? Make plans to worship with your church family this Sunday!
Prayer Guide: December 12, 2021 – Mark 2:13-17
1. Give praise and thanksgiving to the only True God who has graciously called you to Himself and provided forgiveness, peace, and eternal life.
2. Confess to God your tendency towards self-righteousness and struggle to have compassion on others. Ask God to give you His heart of love and grace.
3. Ask God to give you a greater passion for His glory and for the gospel that results in a more generous and giving heart.
