Hi and welcome to Reedy’s Month in Prayer. Tomorrow millions of Aussies will be celebrating Australia Day. Over recent years we have been made aware that for many Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples this day is far from a celebration. A wonderful Christian group called Common Grace have a heart for justice which includes campaigning for Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander justice. As part of this they invite people to watch a special media program called Change The Heart https://www.commongrace.org.au/change_the_heart. This program encourages us as Christians to listen to stories and to pray. In 1 Corinthians Paul reminds us that in the church, “there are many parts, but one body” and goes on to tell us that each part is equally valued and that we should support each other” (1 Corinthians 12:20 NIV). Let’s pray for our first Nation’s People, for reconciliation and healing, and for unity within our nation.

Hi there Church! I trust you are well. Thanks for joining us in united prayer. It makes a difference. Today we have come to the end of praying through our adopted values. However, please continue through to the end of January as we got some pretty big pray needs coming up. Yesterday we prayed about our value of loving God and today we will be praying through the same value of love but this time of loving one another – the second commandment of Jesus. Mark 12:31 says, “The second is this: 'Love your neighbor as yourself” (Mark 12:31 NIV). When there’s evidence of love within any family or community it is such a beautiful thing. But loving one another can be so hard and yet we are called to do this. Let’s pray for real love between us that will spill over into the community. May our community know us for our love!
Welcome back church. Thanks for joining us. As part of our Month in Prayer we have been praying through Reedy’s Values. Today and tomorrow, we are looking at our final but not least value – love. Love ought to undergird all that we do. In the greatest command that our Lord Jesus gave us, He said, “Love the Lord your God with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind and with all your strength” (Mark 12:30 NIV). So much can and needs to be said here, but the simple truth is God create us to be loved and to love. And the bible teaches us that we are to love God with all that we have – our time, our hands, our possessions, and our hearts. What a culture we are building – a group of people who love our Lord passionately. Let’s pray that Reedy grows deeper in our love for God in our worship, caring, and obedience to His Word.
