Psalms 90:1-17. Verse 7, if God were to fill this day with his beauty, what are some of the ways I might notice and experience that?

Acts 2:37-47. Verse 42, four marks of the early church. On which of these could my church be stronger? My role?
John 17:20-26. Jesus’ prayer for all his followers to be at one. What’s the action point here for me?
