Pray for the Church
Ask God to bless all of our ministry efforts but to help us continue to prioritize making disciples here and among all peoples. Pray our love for Jesus will drive our passion for His mission. Pray for God to grow our church by adding to our number all those He is saving through our gospel witness. Ask God to help each of us see the role we have to play in accomplishing the Great Commission.
Pray for the City
This week we are praying for the Birmingham Baptist Association (BBA), a cooperative effort of local Southern Baptist (SBC) churches working together to create gospel advancement opportunities that reach beyond the efforts of an individual congregation. The mission of the BBA is to build the kingdom of God across metro Birmingham and beyond. We are also praying for Brookwood Baptist Church and Pastor Jim Barnette.
DAY 1: Pray for all the churches and pastors across Birmingham who are part of the BBA family as they prepare for a new year of gospel ministry. Pray for their leaders to have the wisdom of Christ to accomplish the ministry of Christ.
DAY 2: Pray for the BBA churches to effectively reach out to those without Christ or without a church family in the Birmingham Metro area. Pray for every church to be effective in making new disciples in 2018.
DAY 3: Pray for the BBA churches to work together to see the Great Commission fulfilled in our city and beyond.
DAY 4: Pray for the BBA’s staff as they yield to the leadership of the Holy Spirit.
DAY 5: Pray as the BBA implements new changes this next year in order to enhance their support of the local church.
DAY 6: Praise God for His grace in providing for the ministry of the BBA. Pray for continual grace in the coming year.

Christ is Mine Forevermore
Verse 1
Mine are days that God has numbered
I was made to walk with Him
Yet I look for worldly treasure
And forsake the King of kings
Chorus 1
But mine is hope in my Redeemer
Though I fall His love is sure
For Christ has paid for every failing
I am His forevermore
Verse 2
Mine are tears in times of sorrow
Darkness not yet understood
Through the valley I must travel
Where I see no earthly good
Chorus 2
But mine is peace that flows from heaven
And the strength in times of need
I know my pain will not be wasted
Christ completes His work in me
Verse 3
Mine are days here as a stranger
Pilgrim on a narrow way
One with Christ I will encounter
Harm and hatred for His name
Chorus 3
But mine is armour for this battle
Strong enough to last the war
And He has said He will deliver
Safely to the golden shore
Chorus 4
And mine are keys to Zion city
Where beside the King I walk
For there my heart has found its treasure
Christ is mine forevermore
Bridge
Come rejoice now O my soul
For His love is my reward
Fear is gone and hope is sure
Christ is mine forevermore
All I Have is Christ
Verse 1
I once was lost in darkest night
Yet thought I knew the way
The sin that promised joy and life
Had led me to the grave
I had no hope that You would own
A rebel to Your will
And if You had not loved me first
I would refuse You still
Verse 2
But as I ran my hell-bound race
Indifferent to the cost
You looked upon my helpless state
And led me to the cross
And I beheld God's love displayed
You suffered in my place
You bore the wrath reserved for me
Now all I know is grace
Chorus
Hallelujah all I have is Christ
Hallelujah Jesus is my life
Verse 3
Now Lord I would be Yours alone
And live so all might see
The strength to follow Your commands
Could never come from me
O Father use my ransomed life
In any way You choose
And let my song forever be
My only boast is You
