God's Dream for His Church-- Derwin Gray video & NMBC prayer points

Derwin Gray is the founding pastor of Transformation Church and former defensive back who played safety for five seasons with the Indianapolis Colts and one season with the Carolina Panthers.Many of our men will also remember him as co-host of Game Plan for Life with Coach Joe Gibbs. 

I came across this YouTube video of Pastor Gray sharing God's dreams for His church. The church is not a building but a "people on the go with Jesus." Take a few minutes to check out this video then join me in praying for our church family.   



THE CHURCH IS HIS BRIDE
Read: Ephesians 5:25-27
Pray: Individually and corporately lets make it our aim to "Live ( our lives) in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ" (Philippians 1:27) Pray that NMBC would strive to be a holy bride ready for her Groom.

THE CHURCH IS HIS TEMPLE
Read: 1 Corinthians 3:16-17
Pray: For a love for God that results in worship and obedience. 

THE CHURCH IS HIS BODY
Read: 1 Corinthians 12:27
Pray: That NMBC would continue to endeavor to be the hands and feet of Jesus in our community. 

THE CHURCH IS HIS FAMILY
Read: Galatians 6:10
Pray: Let's continue to strive to help one another to live the abundant life-- faithfully encouraging, serving and praying for one another.

THE CHURCH IS HIS FLOCK
Read: John 10:4,11
Pray: Jesus alone is our Chief Shepherd. Where He leads, we will follow.

THE CHURCH IS HIS PRIESTHOOD
Read: 2 Corinthians 5:18-19
Pray: Pray that NMBC would represent God to our community by lovingly and boldly sharing the Good News of new life in Christ.
