John Piper posed this question:
“If you’re not praying for influence on people, is it because you don’t think what you believe matters or people don’t matter?”
Seek God for the City helps you to mobilize many to pray with united, sustained vision for people of your community. The prayers in this prayer guide are biblically grounded and easy to pray.
The forty days to Palm Sunday makes an ideal time to venture into a season of sustained, hope-filled prayer. Dated February 13 – March 24, 2013.
In 2013, the prayers have been revised and sharpened, making this year’s edition even more practical as a way to stimulate you to pray with confidence and clarity.
This book will serve as the backbone for our prayer gatherings throughout 2013. Each 3rd Saturday morning of the month, from 8:00-9:00, we will gather for prayer to focus on our church, city and the world.
We have ordered 50 copies of the book. The suggested donation cost is $2.00. Or, you can download the app to your iPad or iPhone or iPod Touch device by clicking here.
Let’s read the Bible together in 2013! Perhaps you have a system – great! If you don’t, please consider this plan by our friends at Discipleship Journal. You can get a copy at the Devotional Resources table or by downloading this file.
It divides each month into 25 readings instead of dates. If you miss a day or two, no worries. You are not behind.
It divides the Bible into four sections. If you want to read the entire Bible in a year, read from all four columns. If you want to read through the Bible in two years, read from two columns each year. If you want to read the Bible through in 4 years, read from one column each year. Tailor this adventure to your lifestyle; the importance is not getting something checked off a list but authentic transformation!
You may start anywhere. The plan is divided into months, but if you are currently reading through a book, note that on your plan.
Do your best to present yourself to God as one approved, a worker who has no need to be ashamed, rightly handling the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15 ESV).
The term rightly handling means cutting it straight. The idea is precision and accuracy in correctly understanding the truth.
All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work (2 Timothy 3:16-17 ESV).
Equipped for every good work enables us to meet all the demands of righteous living.
So, the Word of God transforms. It is indispensable for righteous living.
Beyond reading, memorizing the Word is just as indispensable. A Scripture memory program is found in the right margin of our website.
