What are we going to ask God to do for us, in us, and through us as we meet together today?
“And my God will supply
every
need
of yours according to His riches in glory in Christ Jesus.” (Philippians 4:19)
“Bear one another’s burdens, and so fulfill the law of Christ (
love
).” (Galatians 6:2)
“Let us draw near to the throne of grace that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need (
prayer
).” (Hebrews 4:16)Slide4
According to God’s Word, maintaining
spiritual & emotional health includes:
Trusting that God will meet every need I have in Christ (gospel of grace in us), including the unique needs I have as a pastor’s wife.
Joining God in coming along side other pastor’s wives through listening, identifying with them, validating, supporting, and encouraging each other (grace through us).
Praying for one another in our time of need (grace for us).Slide5
Here is how I believe God wants us
to experience His grace together:
Break up into smaller groups
Questions that reflect some reality of being a pastor’s wife that each of us can answer and share about in your group.
As we hear one another share, bring those things to the throne of grace in prayer.Slide6
It happened again…
An Acts 6:4 (prayer & ministry of the Word) Pastor’s Wives Grace Group is needed for every pastor‘s wife…
These Grace Groups include:
Transparency developed through trust
A commitment to meet regularly
Praying for one another outside the group gatherings and staying in contact when the women are not at the meeting togetherSlide7
