Daily Devotional

Day 17 - Jan. 28

Rather, speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in every way into him who is the head, into Christ, from whom the whole body, joined and held together by every joint with which it is equipped, when each part is working properly, makes the body grow so that it builds itself up in love.

Ephesians 4:15–16

As the body of Christ, our aim is to see each member grow up and be built up in Christ. Love must be the hallmark of our interactions with each other in pursuit of that goal.

1. Thank God for the people he has used in your life to speak truth and help you grow in Christ. Consider how you might express gratitude to them for their ministry to you.

2. Ask God to speak to you by his Spirit as you spend time in his Word. Ask him to use you to speak truth and build up your brothers and sisters in Christ by sharing what he has spoken to you.

3. Pray for every member of The Summit Church, asking God to stir each one to faithfully do their part to serve the body of Christ.

KIDS PROMPT: Who can you share God's love with? 

PRAY WITH KIDS: God, we love people because you loved us first. Thank you for the people who have taught me about your love and helped me to love you. Help me to tell others about your love.
