Day Three: Church Health & Growth
The local church is important to Jesus and to the community it is located in.
Jesus sacrificed His life for the church. It is part of God's plan to raise up local churches that are healthy and growing spiritually.
It is important that we realize the local church is not just a building but a community of disciples who gather together on a regular basis.
The Greek word for "church" is ekklēsia, which literally translates to "the called out ones" or "an assembly".
God calls us out and brings us together to do great things for Him in our
communities and beyond.
Today we will focus on praying for Revive Church and the Body of Christ.
Pastor Drew paints an amazing picture about puzzle pieces coming together to make a beautiful picture in the local church. Every piece of the puzzle is important, and the picture is never complete without every piece.
Today we want to pray God would bring the pieces in and bring the pieces together to accomplish His plans in 2025. Let’s unite in praying for the right pieces and people in each ministry of Revive Church.
Psalms 127:1 - “Unless the Lord builds the house, They labor in vain who build it; Unless
the Lord guards the city, The watchman stays awake in vain.”
Matthew 16:18 - “And I also say to you that you are Peter, and on this rock I will build My
church, and the gates of Hades shall not prevail against it.”
Ephesians 4:16 - “from whom the whole body, joined and knit together by what every joint supplies, according to the effective working by which every part does its share, causes growth of the body for the edifying of itself in love.”
