Memorize and Reflect

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” (Hebrews 10:24-25)

Prayer Direction

Thank God for the Christian community he has placed you in. Pray for God to stir up a desire in your heart to connect in a deep way with other Christians. Ask Him to show you who you need to reach out to this week and for the commitment to follow through.

“Live It!” Challenge

Connections: Reflect upon the Christians you have in your life. Identify 1 or 2 who you should connect with this week. Then take the next step and make the call, send the text or visit with them. Embrace the gift of community God has given you. Allow God to begin developing some deep Christian relationships in your life this week.
