The scripture focus today is found in 1 Peter 4:7-11.
The end of all things is near. Therefore be alert and of sober mind so that you may pray. Above all, love each other deeply, because love covers over a multitude of sins. Offer hospitality to one another without grumbling. Each of you should use whatever gift you have received to serve others, as faithful stewards of God’s grace in its various forms. If anyone speaks, they should do so as one who speaks the very words of God. If anyone serves, they should do so with the strength God provides, so that in all things God may be praised through Jesus Christ. To him be the glory and the power for ever and ever. Amen.
*********************************************
- Love each other deeply
- without grumbling
- gift received - use it to serve others
- when we speak, speak as speaking the very words of God
- serve with the strength God provides
Why? So that God may be praised and glorified!
As the team focus on these words, let us also respond to these words. Today, how can we put others' needs ahead of ours? How can we set aside our own agenda and notice God's agenda? As we look at the faces around us today, how can we put these words from 1 Peter into action? Let us bring praise and Glory to God.
Pray that God will enable the team to see those around them (both the teammates and others they have just met) and to allow Him to work through them to love and serve in a way that glorifies Him.
