Sermon: “I’ll Pray For You” from Dan Mitchum

Dan Mitchum - February 9, 2025

I'll Pray For You

Today, our series on “Christian Clichés That Need to Go” comes to a close. Until now, each cliché has contained at least a half-truth. However, depending on what we do with it, this last saying is either one hundred percent true or false. It’s easy to say to someone, “I’ll pray for you.” But do we actually follow through? It’s not a cliché if we keep our promise. Colossians 1:9-14 tells us why praying for someone is one of the greatest things we can do for a brother or sister in Christ. Join us as we discover the life-transforming power of praying for each other.

Scripture References: Colossians 1:9-14

Cliches. They’re everywhere. We see them on bumper stickers and signs. “The grass is always greener on the other side.” “Every cloud has a silver lining.” “All’s well that ends well.” “Time heals all wounds.” These and others sound good and true. But are they? Sometimes yes, and sometimes no. But what about Christian cliches? Are they biblical or not? This series will deconstruct some of the most common Christian cliches. “God helps those who help themselves.” “Let go and let God.” “God won’t give you more than you can handle.” “I’ll pray for you.” “Everything happens for a reason.” “Love the sinner, hate the sin.” And, “Just forgive and forget.” You won’t want to miss a week of this new series.
