Consider Col. 4:5,6
"Be wise in the way you act toward outsiders; make the most of every opportunity. Let your conversation be always full of grace, seasoned with salt, so that you may know how to answer everyone."
For this week's Message About Purpose and Strategy, I'll simply lead you in prayer. Father, we're instructed to make the most of opportunities, knowing that people who don't know you are looking at us, and learning about you. May we represent you well, both accurately and attractively. May our lives shine forth the light of your love. We've got a big opportunity before us this weekend. Many who are outside, so to speak, will come in for a brief look. I pray that what they see will draw them in further. May the way we speak, and present the good news of our Risen Savior, provide answers to the deepest questions on the hearts and minds of our visitors this Easter season. Our prayer is that you will bring yourself the glory you deserve by working through us to draw people into Christ's new life. We trust that you will answer our prayers. Do something in our midst that could not possibly be explained by any other means. We want you to be visible and to be honored. Hallowed be your name.
Sincerely,
your thankful children at Dayspring.
He has risen!
