Next Message: Living in God's Rest

Marc Swenson - May 5, 2024

We’ve all heard of the proverbial Frog in the Kettle. Israel was in this situation. The heat was getting turned up. Through the prophet Micah, they were given warning after warning to repent, change their ways, turn their hearts back to God, and get out of the pot before it was too late. This week we’ll learn what made them so comfortable, and we’ll consider the warming waters around our own lives and how God might have us respond. Join us for a powerful morning of worship, prayer, and the sharing of God’s word! We’ll see you Sunday.

Jesus Prays for God's Church

This Sunday we will continue in our series, The Prayer of Prayers, looking at the things most dear to Christ’s heart. In his prayer Jesus will pray for the gospel to expand to the world through His people. In praying for us, Jesus could have asked that we would all become great communicators, that we would be clear in our message, or that we would be bold and outspoken in our approach. But instead of a strategy for evangelism, Jesus prays for something else. Join us this Sunday as we find the very thing that brings about our greatest witness.

Scripture References: John 17:20-24

From Series: "The Prayer of Prayers"

The prayer we call “The Lord’s Prayer” from Matthew 6 isn’t technically the Lord’s prayer. The prayer that begins, “Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name…” is the prayer Jesus taught His disciples to pray. So, that prayer could better be referred to as “The Disciples’ Prayer.” The real Lord’s prayer—that is, the prayer Jesus personally prayed for us is found in John 17. There are four parts to this prayer: Jesus prays for God’s glory, Jesus prays for God’s people, Jesus prays for God’s church, and Jesus prays for God’s mission. In Jesus’ prayer, we see the depth of His love for us and His passion for His church. Join us as we hear Jesus pray the prayer of prayers!
