Transcription

1 2 Cor 5:14 Sunday, 22 January 2017 Sanctuary 8.30am, 10.30am & 5pm Reflective Verse No one can serve two masters. Either you will hate the one and love the other, or you will be devoted to the one and despise the other. Matthew 6:24 Reflective Questions Are there areas in your life which are not fully surrendered to God? To what extent have other masters hindered or distracted you from growing deeper in God? Prayer O Heavenly Father, Help me to surrender myself fully to you as my only Master so that I may experience the peace and joy of Your fellowship and affirmation. May Your Holy Spirit strengthen my inner being to live a life of obedience as your disciple. In Christ s name, Amen.
