June 6—True Church Life

Read

Acts 4:24, 29-31

Reflect

Prayer was highly important in the life of the early church. It was one of the four pillars of their life together. When they encountered opposition or hardship they prayed. They put their trust in God’s sovereignty no matter what they faced. They asked God to enable them to proclaim the message of Christ boldly, despite the suffering and hardship they often endured. And in the midst of turmoil and danger, they received a fresh infilling of the Holy Spirit’s power. Your life in community has been greatly affected by current events. What is the cry of your heart to God for yourself and for your church community?

Engage

Read today’s Scripture passage. Say or write it out in your own words, considering the following questions:

· What does it say about God?

· What does it say about us?

· Is there a promise to trust?

· Is there a command to obey?

· How will I apply this Scripture to my life?

· Who will I show that I care by sharing this truth?

Memorize

Now read this week’s memory verse, 2 Timothy 2:2. Spend a few minutes committing it to memory.
