PASSAGE: Thanksgiving and Prayer, Paul's Plea for Onesimus
MEMORY VERSE: "Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage--with great patience and careful instruction" 2 Timothy 4:2
NOTES: (v.6) "I pray that you may be active in sharing your faith, so that you will have a full understanding of every good thing we have in Christ. Your love has given me great joy and encouragement, because you, brother, have refreshed the hearts of the saints."
(v.8) "Therefore, although in Christ I could be bold and order you to do what you ought to do, yet I appeal to you on the basis of love. I then, as Paul--an old man and now also a prisoner of Christ Jesus--I appeal to you for my son Onesimus, who became my son while I was in chains. Formerly he was uesless to you, but now he has become useful to you and to me."
ACT OF LOVE: Today, I helped my friend run his lines during lunch so that he could get them all memorized. Also, I left a random encouragement on my friend's facebook wall!
