Night Prayer
And let us consider one another to provoke unto love and to good works:
Inspiration
Encouraging one another is essential as we complete good works for the Lord! We enjoy coming together to praise God, fellowship with our spiritual friends, and continue our Christian education. Our relationships are essential as we make our way out into the community. Spreading the Gospel is hard work, and we must encourage each other every step of the way for strength and reassurance.
Prayer
Dear God, we seek Your guidance in speaking inspirational words to encourage one another as we work to spread the Gospel to our community. In Jesus’ Name, Amen.
Night Prayer
Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye make clean the outside of the cup and of the platter, but within they are full of extortion and excess.
Inspiration
We despise the thought of a pile of dirty dishes in the sink. The outside is easy to clean; it's the caked-up residue on the inside that's so difficult to remove. Jesus compares the scribes and Pharisees with dishes that have been wiped clean on the outside while dirty inside. The Pharisees took exceptional care of their outward appearance and neglected their inward spirits. We are guilty of allowing our hearts to be left filthy as well. We look and act as we should while our souls are full of darkness. We must continue to converse with the Holy Spirit daily and trust His guidance to cleanse our sinful nature.
Prayer
Dear God, Please forgive our sinful nature. We yearn for cleansing from within, so we are genuine witnesses to Your name. In Jesus' Name, Amen.
