Call to Prayer: Truth Quest 2024

Tonight and tomorrow (April 12-13) is the Truth Quest Youth Apologetics Conference in Prescott, AZ.

We have about 250 youth present.

Please pray all of us speakers speak well the words of truth, and may all find freedom in Christ!

‭A new heart also will I give you, and a new spirit will I put within you: and I will take away the stony heart out of your flesh, and I will give you an heart of flesh.

God has sent His Word – Scripture and His Son – so that by the Holy Spirit we may be renewed in heart, soul, and mind. He gives it to us when we believe in Him.

Pray at all times in the Spirit with every prayer and request, and stay alert in this with all perseverance and intercession for all the saints.

Stand, therefore, with truth like a belt around your waist, righteousness like armor on your chest, and your feet sandaled with readiness for the gospel of peace.

Knowing Christ is alive, we live in His truth, clothed in His righteousness, having the hope of eternity with Him that we can share with others.

VerseD: Ephesians 6:13

This is why you must take up the full armor of God, so that you may be able to resist in the evil day, and having prepared everything, to take your stand.

Ephesians 6:13, HCSB‬

Because Christ lives, when we believe in Him we have access to the Holy Spirit who empowers us by His Word to stand up to temptations, persecutions, and all manner of evil.

VerseD: Ephesians 6:12

For our battle is not against flesh and blood, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the world powers of this darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavens.

Because Christ lives, we can face the powers of darkness and evil with boldness, knowing our Savior reigns and fights for us.

VerseD: Hebrews 4:16

Therefore let us approach the throne of grace with boldness, so that we may receive mercy and find grace to help us at the proper time.

Hebrews 4:16, HCSB‬

We worship Christ for saving us, and now, because of His sacrifice and resurrection, may we tell others this truth and draw near to God’s throne together.

VerseD: Matthew 26:24

‭The Son of Man will go just as it is written about Him, but woe to that man by whom the Son of Man is betrayed! It would have been better for that man if he had not been born.”

We worship Christ because He redeemed us from sin and separation. Many reject Him or make Him into their own image, so may we defend who He is through His Word that reveals the gospel.
