Title: Praying for the Church
Big Idea: We must regularly pray for God’s church to become more like Christ through the power of Christ and for the glory of God!
- Pray for the church to increase in love both through union with Christ and biblical wisdom (vs. 9)!
- Pray for the church to increase in love so that the church may become more like the King in preparation for His return (vs. 10).
- Pray for God’s church to give evidence of their union with Christ and thus glorify God (vs. 11).
Discussion Questions:
- How often do you pray for God’s church? How can you grow here?
- According to Philippians 1:9-11, what should we pray for God’s church? How does today’s passage challenge you to start praying differently for the church?
- According to Philippians 1:11, what should motivate our prayers for God’s church?
- How are you abiding in Christ, and how are you helping other believers to abide?
- According to Philippians 1:1-8, how has Paul already put his prayer into practice?
