Preacher: Jerry Cisar

I thought we finished the series, Imagining the Kingdom, last week. However, I was encouraged by one of our members last week to consider covering these final verses on prayer (I won’t mention any names, Reggie). I immediately knew I would.

In fact, prayer is essential for a genuine kingdom imagination, and it is essential to experiencing the culture of the Gospel of peace. There’s no wonder that Paul’s message to the Ephesians has prayer woven throughout. It ends encouraging us to pray for one another and that the secret will be fearlessly be made known. That will require fearless words and fearless lives.

Join us for worship as we hear from Ephesians 6:18-20 and about an essential for Gospel culture—prayer. We will also hear from the book of nature, from ants in fact (thanks to An Immense World: How Animal Senses Reveal the Hidden Reality Around Us, by Ed Yong), about how essential prayer is for Gospel community.
