We Are One Body,
This week let's focus on the new family that we are about to be a part of—our team. This is going to be one of the most enjoyable, rewarding, intense, and toughest years of our lives, and the enemy would love nothing more than to cause disunity and dissension among us. So pray that throughout the trip we will be a unified body, clothed with every fruit of the spirit, and above all be rooted and grounded in love. As we carry one another's burdens, let us always be quick to edify and swift to forgive. So get ready to get close, make mistakes, and love each other as Christ has loved us.
Topic Emphasis – Team Unity
Scripture Emphasis – John 16
Verse Emphasis – Colossians 3:12-17 (ESV)
"Put on then, as God's chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassion, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony. And let the peace of Christ rule in your hearts, to which indeed you were called in one body. And be thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly, teaching and admonishing one another in all wisdom, singing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, with thankfulness in your hearts to God. And whatever you do, in word or deed, do everything in the name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God the Father through him."
