Week 3 : God’s Truth
Sunday
Call to Prayer
God’s desire is for all of humanity to have an intimate relationship with Him. We are able to know God through his Son, Jesus Christ. We engage in a relationship with God through studying the Scriptures and allowing the Holy Spirit to reveal God’s love, truth and compassion, which are found in Christ Jesus.
Spend a few moments in prayer and silence preparing your heart to receive from the Holy Spirit.
Psalm & Scripture
Psalm 43:3-4 (NLT)
Send out your light and your truth;
let them guide me.
Let them lead me to your holy mountain,
to the place where you live.
There I will go to the altar of God,
to God—the source of all my joy.
I will praise you with my harp,
O God, my God!
John 1:1-9 (NLT)
In the beginning the Word already existed.
The Word was with God,
and the Word was God.
He existed in the beginning with God.
God created everything through him,
and nothing was created except through him.
The Word gave life to everything that was created,
and his life brought light to everyone.
The light shines in the darkness,
and the darkness can never extinguish it.
God sent a man, John the Baptist, to tell about the light so that everyone might believe because of his testimony. John himself was not the light; he was simply a witness to tell about the light. The one who is the true light, who gives light to everyone, was coming into the world.
Time of Reflection
Meditate for a few moments on what you think truth is. Think about how Christ is truth in your life.
Pray that Christ would be your light throughout the day, leading you in work and worship.
Pray that God’s truth would be present in your interactions with others, that people would know God through you.
Missional Moment
You’ve prayed for Christ to be your light throughout the day. Now, allow His light to lead you. Where does Christ want to lead you to today? Who does He want to lead you to?
Community Prayer
Pray that Hope Hill would be a reflection of Christ to our local neighborhoods and towns.
