This week we will continue the message series called Building a Base: The Core Five of Following Christ. Scripture for the message will be Luke 21:1-4 and 2 Corinthians 9:6-11 and the message title will be “Give Generously.”
Jesus tells us in Matthew that we should ask, seek and knock when it comes to prayer and connection with God. Nehemiah takes this to a new level. When asked what he wants and is praying about, he gives not only a bold response, but an answer that he has clearly been praying about and thinking through for some time.
Nehemiah hears an update from back in the old country that breaks his heart. He stops what he is doing to pray a bold and heartfelt prayer for his people and city. He models a posture of following the Spirit’s prompting around prayer, and praying boldly.
In Matthew 25:31-46, we are told about the sheep and goats. What does it mean to be in the flock of Christ? What should the life of a sheep look like? Sunday we will look at the radical life of service we are called to and how that translates to our modern world.
