Night Prayer
Behold, how good and how pleasant it is for brethren to dwell together in unity!
Inspiration
Christian unity is a blessing. Our church family works together to share the Word of God with a broken world. We bring His hope to the hopeless and peace to the brokenhearted. We fellowship with one another, and our joy is overflowing as we worship the Lord in harmony. We will seek unity with each other to accomplish tasks the Lord sets upon us.
Prayer
Dear Lord, we love our church family, and unity will remain our priority. Teach us to find opportunities so that together we mature our relationship with You. 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.
