Daily Bible Reading Guide, June 2023 - "God’s Saving Word: Spiritual Renewal"Зразок

June 5 Introduction The chapter concludes with the apostle Paul admonishing the community of believers to worship in a proper and orderly way, and he offers advice on orderly conduct regarding those who speak in strange tongues. Scripture Reading 1 Corinthians 14:26-40 Today’s Key Verse: 1 Corinthians 14:39, 40 So then, my friends, set your heart on proclaiming God’s message, but do not forbid the speaking in strange tongues. Everything must be done in a proper and orderly way. Reflect Paul once again affirms that “everything must be of help to the church” (verse 26). In what ways does your community of faith affirm the spiritual gifts of its members? Pray Loving God, teach me to affirm the spiritual gifts of others and to use my gifts to help and support your church. May all I do be done in love, and may my actions be a way of proclaiming your message. In your holy name, I pray. Amen. And now, join us in a prayer of thanksgiving that God's Word is restoring hope among the people in Ukraine . Merciful God, after six long months, Bible Society volunteers were able to make their way into an area that had been bombed and where those who lived there witnessed the death of family and friends and went without food, water, and other necessities for months on end. But Bible Society volunteers were able to bring food and children's Bibles to children who had taken refuge in a destroyed school. Thanks to the generosity of Bible-A-Month Partners, the men, women, and children who are enduring the darkest days of their lives are finding comfort, peace, and hope in your Word. Praise to you, Lord God, for the glimmer of hope that is now in their hearts. Amen. Tomorrow’s Reading 2 Corinthians 1:1-11:The apostle Paul begins his second letter to the Corinthians with a prayer of thanksgiving.
