The Authority of Jesus
May 1, 2024
As a church committed to praying for one another, we post this daily reminder we can all use for that purpose. It contains links to a Bible reading that if followed daily will have taken you through the entire Bible by this time next year, devotional thoughts from Our Daily Bread, and the passage upon which those thoughts are based, with a prayer inspired by that passage. We hope you will find it helpful!
Bible in a Year: 1 Kings 10-11; Luke 21:20-38
Today’s Our Daily Bread: The Authority of Jesus | Our Daily Bread (odb.org)
Devotional Passage: Matthew 28:16-20
Prayer: We worship You, Lord Jesus, the One to Whom our Heavenly Father has given all authority in heaven and on earth. Please grace us with discernment to recognize and courage to seize every opportunity You provide for us to introduce others to You, and to baptize them into their new identity in relationship with You, the Father, and the Holy Spirit. Continue teaching us as Your disciples to not only live in obedience to everything You commanded Your first disciples, but to also teach new disciples to continually do the same for the sake of being and making healthy disciples. Remind us as often as necessary that throughout the entire process, You are with us as the One in Whose Name we pray and to Whom belongs all the glory, honor, and praise, both now and forever. Amen.
If you have a prayer request or a prayer for all of us that we can share for one another, please send it to prayerchain@nbccparker.com.
