Sunday, September 5

READ

Family worship: Reread the scripture passage your pastor preached on this weekend.
Private worship: Genesis 25-43 (Spread your reading throughout the week.)

Discussion questions: What do these passages say about God? What do these passages say about me? What do these passages say about the relationship between God and me?

PRAY

Adoration: God is holy, mighty, gracious, and merciful. Spend time declaring your love for Him.

Confession: Continually confessing your sins to God and asking for His forgiveness will keep you from taking the great price Christ paid on the cross for granted.

Thanksgiving: Express your thankfulness to God for the blessings He has given you. When we consider that we deserve punishment because of our sinfulness, and instead God gives to us His love and mercy, our only response should be one of thankfulness.

Supplication: Pray that God will be glorified through you in the upcoming week. Ask God to show you how to see and respond to the needs of others.

SING

“O the Deep, Deep Love of Jesus,” no. 171 in The Worship Hymnal
