Prayer Gathering at 9:00 AM

<i>“Five Passages to Pray through for Your Pastors”</i><br><br><b>1 Peter 5:8</b><br>“Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour.”<br><br><b>2 Corinthians 12:9</b><br>“But he said to me, 'My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness.’ Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.”<br><br><b>Romans 1:11-12 (NLT)</b><br>“For I long to visit you so I can bring you some spiritual gift that will help you grow strong in the Lord. When we get together, I want to encourage you in your faith, but I also want to be encouraged by yours.”<br><br><b>Ephesians 5:25 and 6:4</b><br>“Husbands, love your wives, as Christ loved the church and gave himself up for her,”<br><br>“Fathers, do not provoke your children to anger by the way you treat them. Rather, bring them up with the discipline and instruction that comes from the Lord.”<br><br><b>2 Timothy 4:2</b><br>“preach the word; be ready in season and out of season; reprove, rebuke, and exhort, with complete patience and teaching.”
