Prayer

The world is changing, society is changing, yet our mission remains the same – making Jesus known!

As we approach this mission, we as a local expression of Jesus’ church, want to focus on the expression of prayer. Ahead of us lies a wave of challenges and defining moments, major technological breakthroughs, armed conflict, political, and natural crises.

We must be firm in our mission and focus on the work at hand. It is vital that we lay aside personal agendas to truly seek the reviving presence of the Holy Spirit. Let us ask Him to do a work in us that only He can accomplish. Let us plead for a deeper consecration, and a heart in tune with His will – for our personal lives, our families, our church body, our ministries, our neighbours, and for those that Jesus has written in the book of life.

Come make Jesus known with us!

Why do we pray? The Bible is clear…

“The Lord is at hand; do not be anxious about anything, but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving let your requests be made known to God.  And the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and your minds in Christ Jesus.“
– PHILIPPIANS 4:5–7

If we are sick, suffering, or have realized rebellion towards another and God… what do I do?

“Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Is anyone cheerful? Let him sing praise. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church, and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the one who is sick, and the Lord will raise him up. And if he has committed sins, he will be forgiven. Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another, that you may be healed. ”
– JAMES 5:13-16
