This Sunday: Pray for Churches thinking about Merging with other churches

Our little congregation has been becoming a little less little, but there are two others that are struggling now. We are looking at merging to help them, especially with one of those pastors getting along in years.

Let us all lift up these churches.

Daniel

This Sunday at Church I want to encourage you to do the following: Pray for Churches thinking about Merging with other churches,

VerseD: Mark 11:24

Therefore I tell you, all the things you pray and ask for — believe that you have received them, and you will have them.

Mark 11:24, HCSB

God wants to give us good things, most importantly is the gift of salvation. If you have prayed in faith and repentance, believe you are saved!

VerseD: Psalm 42:7

Deep calls to deep in the roar of Your waterfalls;
all Your breakers and Your billows have swept over me.

Psalm 42:7, HCSB

God should be our greatest desire, and sometimes we need to merely rest in God’s Word, listening to what the Holy Spirit has been telling us, seeking God’s presence to reorient our desires and hear His call anew.

VerseD: Psalm 42:6

I am deeply depressed;
therefore I remember You from the land of Jordan
and the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar.

Psalm 42:6, HCSB

God should be our greatest desire, and when life gets in the way we should cry out to God from the places of safety, like Church, and in the midst of trials, just like David did when running from his son who tried to steal the throne.

VerseD: Psalm 42:5

Why am I so depressed?
Why this turmoil within me?
Put your hope in God, for I will still praise Him,
my Savior and my God.

Psalm 42:5, HCSB

God should be our greatest desire, and sometimes we focus on something else or He is calling us to think of others with His love and will by allowing sadness, depression, and anxiety. Prayer and praise to our Savior will restore our desire.

Sermon: The Joy of Church, Pt. 2 – Philippians 1:7-11

I preached again!

This week I finished Paul’s opening prayer and introduction to the church in Philippi, and it was the realization of how much he wrote “prayer” that adjusted this message. (Spoiler alert: prayer is paramount.)

As usual, my PowerPoint is provided below.

Pray for the Philippines

I found out about a 7.8 earthquake on Sunday on the southern end of the Philippines when I noticed a major dip in my blog views. I have a large audience from that area, so their inability to get online and subsequent absence from my views alerted me to look up the area.

If you have not seen the destruction from buildings collapsing and tsunami damage, they are in pretty bad shape.

Let us lift up the entire region, that they may recover quickly, mourn those lost well, and find comfort in Christ and His Church during this time. Pray for those searching for missing people, strength to endure, and help to come quickly.

VerseD: Matthew 9:37-38

Then He said to His disciples, “The harvest is abundant, but the workers are few. Therefore, pray to the Lord of the harvest to send out workers into His harvest.”

Matthew 9:37-38, HCSB

When we put our faith in the work of Christ through the cross, we are invited and commanded to share that faith with others, showing them the truth of who Christ is in the power of the Holy Spirit.

This Sunday at Church: Pray for your pastor’s study time for Sunday Sermon

I know my most recent pastor meets with many people and has to prepare the sermon most weeks. Having just started covering for my friend who had heart surgery while I also finish my M.Div. this next month, I totally understand this stretching.

Pray for all pastors to have the time, patience, and endurance in Christ to continue, and pray a reliance on the Holy Spirit to guide the messages.

Daniel
