Pray for One Another

Praying for one another is one of the most powerful ways we live out the communal reality of the Kingdom of God. James says anytime is a good time to pray. When we’re in trouble. When we’re happy. When we’re sick. And when we’re stuck in sin. These are the seasons of life when we need the prayers of others. (James 5:13-16). The power of intercession isn’t reserved for the select few. James reminds us even Elijah “was a man with a nature like ours.” (James 5:17). Elijah’s prayers were great because the God who answered his prayers is great. The same can be true for us. This week, look for an opportunity to pray with someone on the spot. Don’t just promise to pray for them later. Take the risk and pray for them in the moment. See what God does! If you missed yesterday’s message you can listen to it here. Our summer sermon series is “Hot Seat: Conversations on Controversies.” I want to know what difficult topics you’d like to hear a sermon about. Follow this link to give me your suggestions. In this fractured, polarized world, it’s important we practice talking about the hard stuff with integrity and grace. Have a great week. And see you this weekend! Yours for Christ,
