The greatness of prayer is simply an extension of the greatness of God in our lives! Tim Keller puts it this way, “Prayer is so great that wherever you look in the Bible, it is there. Why? Everywhere God is, prayer is. Since God is everywhere and infinitely great, prayer must be all-pervasive in our lives.”
Prayer is what set Israel aside from all other nations. Moses says in Deuteronomy 4:7, “What other nation is so great as to have their gods near them the way the Lord our God is near us whenever we pray to him?” When we pray, we are treating God as God. When we pray, we set ourselves apart from all those who do not know God. So, church, we must pray!
Fellowship of prayer is this Sunday night from 6:00-7:00 in the worship center. One of our values as a church is that we are devoted to prayer. Prayer was a common practice when the early church gathered, according to Acts 2:42; 11:5; 12:5, 12.
Church, let’s gather this Sunday night to pray for our ministries, church leadership and family, our community, what’s next campaign, and our ministry plan going forward.
Marriage conference sign-up continues for two more weeks, so register this Sunday. Created for Connection conference will provide you with practical application for a healthier marriage. If there is a couple outside the church you would like to invite to this conference, then feel free to do so.
Momentum is back on Sunday, March 29 from 5-7. There is also open gym for Teen basketball every Friday night in March from 7-9. And coming in May there will be a momentum Sunday study on Sunday mornings. Momentum is for grades 5-12.
I am loving our study through the entire Bible. Someone asked me, “Once you finish this series on The Greatest Story from Cover to Cover, then what’s left for you to preach on?” Trust me, there is plenty of material in God’s Word to keep me going for a long time! For example, in the summer, I will be preaching on the guide to joyful living from the book of Philippians. No matter what we face in life, we can choose joy! Stay tuned!
