Tomorrow is missions Sunday with a Joint Sunday School class where we will hear from five supported workers from around the globe.
When we get to worship, we will then be asked to meditate on
I appeal to you, brothers, by our Lord Jesus Christ and by the love of the Spirit, to strive together with me in your prayers to God on my behalf,
For me the word that leaps off the page is “strive together”. It is one word in Greek. Paul is asking for them to be on the same team with him. But note which team. He is not asking them to get into the boat, to travel to foreign lands, or to preach the Word.
He is asking them to pray.
As you attend Sunday School, as you hear of the efforts of our supported workers, listen for what they would have you pray. In that way we will be striving together. Then let's expectantly watch for what God will do.
