The Word and Prayer (09/22/19)

Imagine a Church

The Word and Prayer

Acts 2:42-47

 

Imagine a church in which the Word of God and prayer permeates every life, transforms every family and guides every activity of the church.

Devoted—constant, consistent, persisting obstinately, Stubborn. 

When you are on a Journey:

#1 You need to be GROUNDED

 

Core Value: Biblically Serious

 

“We are rooted and grounded in scripture. God’s Word is the final authority of truth and defines life itself. It is THE authority for all of life.”

 2 Timothy 3:16-17 (NIV), “All Scripture is God-breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.”

 

#2 You Need to be GUIDED

Core Value: Spiritually Alive

“We embrace the mystery of the Holy Spirit to work within us and among us. We are intentionally joyful, celebratory, and lean into a radical faith that defies explanation. God is alive. God is here.”

 Imagine a church in which the Word of God and prayer permeates every life, transforms every family and guides every activity of the church.

Final Thought: When you get into God’s Word and into God’s Presence, you can’t begin to imagine all that God will breathe into you.
