“As you come to him, a living stone rejected by men but in the sight of God chosen and precious, you yourselves like living stones are being built up as a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ.” 1 Peter 2:4–5
Read 1 Peter 2:4–8
Lord, we know that you love your church—you are her cornerstone. Mars Hill is in need of a larger facility for central operations so that we can continue to have an impact for the gospel across the globe. Give us favor with the City of Bellevue. Please remind me to pray often for the acquisition of the new home that you have planned for Mars Hill.
Lord, these are big decisions, but you are bigger. The process of finding a facility can be stressful, and I pray that our leaders would not be discouraged but encouraged as they lean on you, the all-powerful Creator of the universe. Lord, may our leaders get more of Jesus, the cornerstone of your church, as they look to faithfully build your church.
I pray over the new facility that you have in store. I pray that it would be a blessing to the city, the community, the employees, and the students who would come from all over to learn more about you through Mars Hill Schools. May this facility create more space, for more lives, for more transformations, all with a view of building a legacy in the name, and for the fame, of Jesus Christ.
Amen.
