Romans 5: 1-5
“Therefore, since we have been justified through faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, through Whom we have gained access by faith into this grace in which we now stand. And we boast in the hope of the Glory of God. Not only so, but we also glory in our sufferings, because we know that suffering produces perseverance; perseverance, character; and character, hope. And hope does not put us to shame, because God’s love has been poured out into our hearts through the Holy Spirit, Who has been given to us.”

Prayer for Peace
“Triune God, how majestic are all of Your Names, used around the world, as people call upon You! Just as grasping at Your greatness leads us beyond simple comprehension, so, too, does grasping at peace. How are people struggling in the world today? What actions can we offer that would facilitate peace within those struggles? How can we tangibly move toward peace? Over and over in scripture You call us to be faithful to Your many forms, to dig deep into a sense of understanding You. At the same time, You send us to all nations to act and be peace among the people who need it most. Call us today to three acts of peace Lord, just as You are the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer. Call us to walk with You as creators of peace in the broken places. Call us to point others toward You as Redeemer of a world in search of peace. Call us to generate and sustain real change to broken systems that suppress peace. We pray for blessing in all its many forms. Amen.”
Disciples’ Generous Response
“Gracious and Loving God, we understand that You call us to be the stewards of Your abundance, the caretakers of all You have entrusted to us. Help us always to use Your gifts wisely and teach us to share them generously. May our faithful stewardship bear witness to the love of Christ in our lives. Amen.
