In 1 Thessalonians 4:1, Paul exhorts the Thessalonian believers to “…excel still more” in living to please God. All believers should continually be learning, growing and maturing in Christ-likeness. This week, please be praying for a few folks from RCG who will be involved in some unique and focused growth opportunities.
First, on Tuesday Tim Ingrum and Theo Friesen will be starting their Fall Quarter of classes at the Cornerstone Seminary.
Second, this coming weekend Smokey Nevins, Matt Wolf and Anne James will be attending the first of three intensive weekend sessions for Biblical Counseling Training being hosted at Northcreek Church in Walnut Creek.
Finally, also this coming weekend, Chuck Meadows, Theo Friesen and I will be participating in the 9Marks Weekender, which takes place at Capitol Hill Baptist Church in Washington, D.C.
Please be praying that for each of us within these opportunities, we would receive grace and strength from the Lord to learn and apply His truth all the more faithfully and skillfully. May all that we share in cause us to “excel still more,” and serve to “…see God glorified as His grace and truth in Jesus Christ abounds in and overflows to more and more people.”
And as you’re praying for us, pray also about specific ways the Lord would have you to “excel still more!“
