It is our hope, sincere desire, and Prayer that this 242 Service which will begin on 9.11 -- September 11 -- (how appropriate) would become a great blessing for our church, its members, anyone who would attend (anyone is invited), and everyone who will be prayed for.
I find it interesting that if we were to ask ourselves why we don’t pray – personally or with others – hardly any of us could say we don’t know how to. If there’s one major reason … I think it is that we are too busy. We mean to pray, but we don’t get it done. Each of us should remember that the One who taught us to pray had a life very similar to ours. The Gospels record just 52 days of Jesus’life, and that record is enough to show us what kind of life He led. Jesus was an extremely busy man, but He always found time to pray to His Father. I believe corporate prayer became very important to Jesus and His disciples. And the example of the early Christian church should be our model.
TOGETHER, as we pursue God’s the Lord’s blessing on our life, there just isn’t any alternative to prayer. Prayer is the way you defeat the devil, reach the lost, restore a backslider, strengthen the saints, send missionaries out, cure the sick, accomplish the impossible, and know the will of God. Prayer is the hard-work business of Christianity, and it nets amazing results.
Even if you’ve been to Church on Sunday, this totally different service will be an awesome way to continue the week!!
Pastor Olsen and I truly look forward to praying with you and for you at the Monday Night 242 Prayer and Worship Service!
