Worship - September 12, 2021
Mark 8:27-33, James 3:1-12
"Watch Your Mouth!”
Pastor Steve Johnson

     Has your prayer life improved during the pandemic? Whenever there is a health crisis, natural disaster or other threat to our well-being, we tend to turn to God for help with increasing frequency. For example, after 9/11 people flocked to churches to pray. This month will mark the 20th anniversary of that horrific day. Will we pray now with the fervency with which we prayed then?
     According to the book by Thom Rainer which I’ve been using for these articles, “the healthiest churches are those with a high priority on prayer.” Christians in the early church devoted themselves to prayer constantly. Do we? Rainer states, “The post-quarantine church is moving into a time of pervasive and powerful prayer.” Will our church make persistent prayer a priority?
​     I encourage you to pray the monthly Breakthrough Prayer Initiatives in the newsletters and bulletins. I invite you to join our prayer group that meets on the first and third Sundays at 9:15am in the small chapel beside the church office. Participate in the Pray With Us ministry as we receive prayer requests by text. Let’s all pray for a spiritual awakening in our church, country, and world whether or not there is a crisis.
