On Sunday, May 2, 2010, I will continue the RED LETTER WORDS series with the message WHEN YOU PRAY... During the message, we are going to look at Jesus' words in Matthew 6:5-15 where He taught several important truths about prayer and then taught a "model" prayer that we could use to guide our prayers.
Throughout my life, I have both experienced and observed in others that this whole subject of prayer can at times be challenging for us. Evidently, it was challenging during Jesus' day as well and the disciples felt a need to ask Jesus about it. He also felt the need to teach them how to pray so they would be able to do it better. Sunday's message will be practical, encouraging, and challenging for us as we consider how we can take a step forward in our prayer life with God.
We will also introduce a special prayer empahsis in our church for the month of May on Sunday. We will be doing some extra things during May to help us pray more effectively and I look forward to what God is going to do in us and through us during our special prayer focus.
We will celebrate the Lord's Supper in all of our worship services on Sunday. Dave Besecker and our music ministry will lead us in a meaningful time of worship and the choir will also be participating in all of our worship services this week. It will be a good week to invite a guest to join you.
Please pray for Sunday's services. Pray for everyone that has a role on Sunday as they prepare. Pray God would pour out His Spirit in a powerful way and that lives would be changed. Pray that everyone who attends would come with an open heart and mind to worship God and hear whatever He wants to say to them.
