As we close out our study through Matthew’s Gospel, we come to one of the most well-known passages in the New Testament – The Great Commission. Here Jesus gives the church its primary purpose, the main reason for its existence. God’s desire is that follower of Jesus Christ make disciples. Join us in prayer as we seek God’s grace in preparation for corporate worship this week.
Prayer Guide: October 4, 2020 – Matthew 28:16-20
1. Give praise to Jesus, the One who possesses all authority as the resurrected Lord and Savior.
2. Repent of your lack of concern for making disciples. Ask God to give you a heart for the lost and a passion to share the gospel and make disciples.
3. Pray for courage and boldness to live on mission with Jesus in a world that is becoming increasingly hostile to absolute Truth.
4. Ask God for grace to model a life of obedience to God’s will and God’s ways.
5. Pray that God would be gracious to our church – that we would be people led by the Spirit and concerned about unity in the Body.

Prayer Guide
Last Sunday we examined the crucifixion of Christ. In the wake of Jesus’ death His followers experienced great loss, heartache, confusion and even fear. While the Cross of Christ did not make sense to those who knew and loved Jesus, what would come next would be an even greater mystery. This Sunday as we examine Matthew 28:1-15 we will consider the resurrection and the love of God. Let’s pray together that God would prepare our hearts and minds to celebrate what He has done through Jesus our Lord.
Prayer Guide: September 27, 2020 - Matthew 28:1-15
- Thank God for defeating sin and death through the life, death, and resurrection of His Son.
- Praise God for accepting Jesus’ sacrifice on your behalf and for raising Him from the dead.
- Confess to God your need for both the death of Christ as well as His resurrection.
- Pray that God would help you to live a transformed life out of love for Him.
- Ask God to increase the ministry and reach of Trinity Baptist Church so that more and more people would be discipled in Jesus’ name.

Prayer Guide
Daily, people are put into positions where they must make sense of the data they observe. Whether it is relationships or circumstances, the wise and discerning will prayerfully seek the Lord to gain comprehension. As we have been walking with Jesus, we have seen his power and authority. We have seen his tenderness and compassion. We have seen both positive and negative reaction to Jesus’ ministry and His claims. We have seen Him betrayed with a kiss. In Matthew 27:24-66, we will see Jesus crucified. This Sunday morning, we will focus our attention on making sense of the Cross of Christ. Join us in prayer as we plead with God for grace!
Prayer Guide: September 20, 2020 – Matthew 27:27-66
1. Thank God for His grace and mercy in sending Jesus, the Savior that we so desperately need.
2. Confess to God your propensity to sin and rebel against His will and His ways. Humble yourself and admit that you are deserving of God’s wrath. Praise Jesus for His finished work where He took your sin and shame and drank the fullness of God’s wrath on your behalf.
3. Thank God that He is a faithful, just, and promise keeping God.
4. Praise God for His great love. Ask Him to make you more like Jesus in the way that you love others!
5. Pray for courage and faithfulness to proclaim the gospel, the message of God’s love for sinners. Ask God to use you this week to share the good news with someone who is apart from faith in Christ.
6. Ask God to increase the ministry and reach of Trinity Baptist Church so that more and more people would be discipled in Jesus’ name.

FAMS Night of Praise Video
TBC Family, I'm so proud to present to you the link for the video from our recent FAMS Night of Praise. As you know, we've been blessed to lead worship at a conference for Southern Baptist missionaries in Southeast Asia during the last several summers. We were saddened when this year's conference was cancelled due to the corona virus, but we didn't want to miss an opportunity to encourage these precious brothers and sisters who are faithfully serving the Lord overseas. FAMS Night of Praise was filmed on Sunday evening, July 19, and what a special night it was as we sang and prayed and heard the Word of God shared! I hope you are strengthened in your walk with Christ as you watch the video.
Special Instructions: Due to the fact that several of our missionaries are serving in nations that are hostile to the gospel, security is a great concern, especially when it comes to the internet. Many of them are serving "under cover" in those nations. So, we're asking something unusual of you: PLEASE DO NOT SHARE THIS VIDEO LINK; enjoy it, but do not share it. We would be devastated if we unintentionally jeopardized the safety or the ministry effectiveness of our missionary friends.

Prayer Guide
As we move closer to Jesus’ crucifixion as presented in Matthew’s Gospel, the devastating effects of sin become ever so clear. Consumed with hatred and blinded by their sin, those who were in positions of power acted foolishly. Those who should have recognized Jesus’ true identity were blind to the truth. Foolishly, the crowds of people advocated for Barabbas’ release instead of Jesus’ release. Against his better judgment, Pilate condemns Jesus to death, handing him over to be crucified. As we look forward to joining together to worship on Sunday, please use this guide to prepare your heart to hear from God.
Prayer Guide: September 13, 2020 – Matthew 27:1-26
1. Praise God for His grace in revealing Jesus’ true identity to you. Worship Him as the God of salvation.
2. Ask God to help you recognize the lies of the devil and the wiles of this world.
3. Pray for wisdom and courage to live consistently according to God’s will.
4. Pray for people that you know to be apart from faith in Jesus Christ. Ask God to open their eyes and mind to see and perceive the truth of the gospel.
5. Thank Jesus for taking the punishment that you deserved as He died on the cross.
6. Pray for Michelle and Wesley Rose as they transition to Fort Worth, Texas. Pray also for our church as we search for a new children’s minister.
