God has a global family of affection He calls a “house of prayer” (Isaiah 56:7). Every believer is a unique “living stone” in the house. Prayer is a way we communicate with God in our love relationship with him that flows out of the house to the community around us.
Dear Lord, thank you for the power of your Spirit at work in our nation today. As followers of Jesus, continue to use us as vessels of salvation, healing and restoration in the lives of people you put on our path. In Jesus’ name we pray, amen.
Let’s also pray for:
Good Friday and Easter services at our campuses (John 11:25).
Deeper revelation of Jesus in light of the Passover story (Exodus 12).
Marriages and families in need of forgiveness and restoration (Colossians 1:13-14).
Ways to reach out to our friends and neighbors with God’s love (1 John 4:7).
We’re here to help you grow in prayer and learn to equip others.
Every believer is a living stone in God’s house of prayer. “Teach Us to Pray” is for groups, families, or friends who want to discover their unique purpose in prayer, want to overcome common obstacles to a thriving prayer life, and want to learn to hear God’s voice. In this 6-session interactive experience, you’ll grow together and help others grow in prayer too.

He knows what we struggle with and how long we’ve struggled. If you’ve ever trained a puppy, you know about patience. The good news is that puppies in the early weeks of life are hard-wired to follow their pack leader. They want to please us and to do what’s asked of them. It just takes these furry companions a minute to figure
I have told you these things, so that in me you may have peace. What was Jesus referring to when he said this to his followers? He was talking about a time when people would kill Christians thinking they’re doing a service for God. It would be a time of sin running rampant in the world. A time of unbelief, and a
There’s a trustworthy source of peace we can bank on in the days ahead. We live in uncertain times. All around us it appears God is shaking what can be shaken so that which is of him remains (Hebrews 12:26-27). Take finances, for instance. If inflation, economic instability or supply chain issues have not touched your life in the past three years,

It’s an eternal well connected people know how to access. A joyful shout erupts when the football team wins. A child squeals with delight at the sight of a new puppy. Tears of joy mark a reunion of beloved friends. Yet there’s a deeper, more lasting joy available to us every day. Psalm 100 captures the essence of it: Shout for joy to
