IN CASE YOU MISSED IT

In this week's THROWBACK THURSDAY video clip, 
Chris Green shares from the topic: Prayers of Petition and Worship.

Purposeful Prayer

MIDWEEK BIBLE STUDY

Chris Green teaches from Luke 6: 12-19, "Now it came to pass in those days that He went out to the mountain to pray, and continued all night in prayer to God. And when it was day, He called His disciples to Himself; and from them He chose twelve whom He also named apostles: And He came down with them and stood on a level place with a crowd of His disciples and a great multitude of people from all Judea and Jerusalem, and from the seacoast of Tyre and Sidon, who came to hear Him and be healed of their diseases, as well as those who were tormented with unclean spirits. And they were healed. And the whole multitude sought to touch Him, for power went out from Him and healed them all.

God Can Use Us, Too

MIDWEEK CONNECTION

Last Sunday was one of the most liberating gatherings we have ever had. We sang, laughed and worshiped together, followed by a wonderful time exploring the life of John the Baptist.

We are making some amazing discoveries as we simply read about the life and ministry of Christ. We are gaining a much better understanding about the culture of that era and the various religious, political and social issues of that time. Even though we are reading about things that happened long ago, isn’t it astounding to see that we are experiencing the same crisis in our time. In spite of the technology and advancements of mankind, people are still facing the same issues today.

Through Zecharias, Elizabeth, Joseph, Mary, the wise men and John the Baptist, we have discovered an incredible series of events that led up to the official launching of Jesus’ ministry. We have been digging into the background of the stories and have learned these people were all powerfully used by God.

Some 700 years before them, Isaiah prophesied about John the Baptist and the Christ. Three hundred years later, Malachi prophesied about John the Baptist. God certainly made sure that mankind would be able to recognize the messiah when He came. He made sure that it would be clear and established for all; that these were not random events.

By the time the word of the Lord came to John the Baptist, who was in the wilderness, he was able to come forth with a fiery message of repentance and returning to the true and living God.

Now the Lord is setting us up to come forth with His word in our time. Like John, we must come forth with boldness and assurance. We must point people to the true messiah, the true deliverer.

It is our prayer that this ongoing series of teachings about Christ is making an impact on your life. When we read about the way God used John and many others to make a difference in the world, it encourages us to know that God can use us, too.

Now we look ahead to our next gathering, which is our First Sunday corporate prayer time. In April we prayed concerning the Rebuilding of the Ancient Ruins. In May our prayer focus was on Restoring the Former Desolations. Next, we will pray about Repairing the Ruined Cities. God is about to launch something special through each of you, so that our hearts and homes will never be the same.

We hope to see you this Sunday!

You Will Never Stumble

UNLOCKING THE DREAM WITHIN
