Seeing God Through Prayer
Dear friends,
People come to salvation one person at a time. It matters if people know Christ. It matters if they are ready for eternity… these thoughts come painfully into focus when we hear the news of young people killed tragically in a car crash.
- When we hear of a dad dying of a heart attack.
- When we attend the funeral of an old friend.
I believe the Gospel of eternal life matters. I believe telling this good news to others can change eternity. This is the reason we provide camps and ministries to kids. Because eternity matters so much, I want to remind you to pray. Pray for opportunity and courage to share the good news with others. Pray for Sunday’s message as you invite your friend’s. Pray for our kid’s camp that begins Monday. We want to help people be better human beings, but more than that, we want them ready for eternity.
This Sunday’s message is titled, Seeing God through Prayer. The verse I want you to pray is from the Psalms.
Psa 90:16-17, Let Your work appear to Your servants And Your majesty to their children. Let the favor of the Lord our God be upon us; And confirm for us the work of our hands; Yes, confirm the work of our hands.
When we pray, we see God’s work and our faith grows. I am praying you will make gathering this Sunday a priority. As we do we can pray and see God work.
Blessings, Joe
