Weekly Prayer Points

Dear Father, we thank You for Your Son, Jesus Christ, our Savior and the salvation that we have received through trusting in His death on the cross and His resurrection. Our cups are overflowing with gratitude for the price You paid. We confess, Lord, that You are the Way and there is no other way through which we can be saved. You paid the full price, then imputed righteousness to us! This truth is too wonderful to comprehend! We could not even desire salvation without You drawing us! Though we are weak and frail, You see us through the screen of Jesus’ precious blood. Our best works for You are as filthy rags. The longer we walk with You, the more we see that every good deed and thought is the fruit of You dwelling in us and is impossible without You! As we treasure this most wonderful gift, empower us to see the fields white unto harvest. “I will give You thanks, for You have answered me; You have become my salvation.” Psalm 118:21(NIV).

Thank You, Father, for Your great love, divine favor, and blessing over our lives! No one is like You, Lord, no equal, no rival, and no limit to Your greatness. As we grow in our knowledge of You, we long for the day when we will truly know You and not just in part. You are our Strength and our Shield, a mighty Fortress. The world seems poised on the edge of destruction, yet You have a glorious plan. Thank You for being the Light in darkness, Peace in the storm, and the Way into the Holy of Holies. You are omnipotent and yet near to the weak and brokenhearted. You created all things, and yet You care about each detail of our lives! I am so touched that in the great work of forming the early church, You reminded Peter to latch his sandal so he wouldn’t stumble. You are omniscient and know our every wicked thought; yet You still love us. We rest in these truths of who You are today and forevermore, and yet we long for more of You! Thank You, Father, that You made a way for us to abide in Your presence; for [...]

In this world may be found great insecurity, stress, fear, hopelessness, and uncertainty. But the redeemed have assurance, peace, courage, and hope in their Lord Jesus Christ. Let us live in this world that others may see Jesus in us! We are to share the “Light of the world” with the world! “Let your light so shine before men, that they may see your good works and glorify your Father in heaven.” Matthew 5:16 (NKJV) Heavenly Father, in this world that too often seems disjointed, searching, and confused, remind us that You are a God of order and purpose. With the passing of every moment, Your holy, precious will be accomplished in the life of the church. Father, fill our lives with the Light of Your Son Jesus and empower us to unapologetically share the glorious Gospel for the salvation of many! In Jesus name, Amen!

Our world is full of things that change. We see this as we transition from one season to the next, like summer to fall. The tree loses its leaves, the rain becomes snow, and the light of the sun becomes less and less. Let God’s eternal Word encourage us. "The grass withers, the flower fades, but the word of our God stands forever" Isaiah 40:8 (NKJV). Heavenly Father, in this world of change, You never change; You are the light of this world and the next. You are my light. Your judgments are eternal. Your love remains unchanged from the day You gave to this undeserving world "Your only begotten Son" to the day we repented and called "Father, forgive me for I have sinned." In times of need, You have supplied; Your goodness has been delivered through many "showers of blessings." Your mercy and grace are beyond any measure. Thank You, Lord, for giving to us Life Everlasting." In Jesus name, Amen!

As many in the congregation enter a time of homecoming, revival, and expectation, may the power and goodness of God bring renewal, spiritual growth, and purpose as we take the Gospel of Jesus Christ into homes, our communities, and the world. John 14:6 (NKJV) Jesus said, "I am the way, the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except by Me." Heavenly Father, we desire for our congregations, neighbors, friends, and families to find joy, peace, purpose, abundant life, and everlasting life through Jesus Christ! Heavenly Father may our coming together always be centered around You. Lord may our unity, worship, preaching, and altar call be all about You.
