Praying Through this Collage of Crisis

Our hearts are grieved as we pray through so many crises in our nation and the world today. As God moves you to pray, head to the Prayer Wall, choose the crisis we are praying together about, and join us there. I didn’t have room to fit all of them in the photo, but youContinue reading “Praying Through this Collage of Crisis”

The One Who Rides on the Clouds

Hurricane Ida is now at a Category 4 as it approaches landfall in Louisiana near New Orleans today, marking the 16th anniversary of Katrina’s destruction of that same city.

Please, Lord, Calm the Storm

As hurricane Ida gains strength and is expected to make landfall in Louisiana tomorrow, let’s pray for those in its path. Last year, hurricanes and tornadoes ravaged the state, with no time to recover between, followed by an ice storm earlier this year.

Good News for an Abundant Life

There is only one God. He is the Creator of the Universe, infinite, all-powerful, perfect, holy. He created us because He loves us and wants us to enjoy Him and love others through His love. That is our whole reason for being. But sin, our prideful, selfish thoughts and actions separate us from this holyContinue reading “Good News for an Abundant Life”

Every Nation Under Heaven

In Acts 2, during Pentecost (which we celebrated yesterday), the Spirit came upon the apostles like fire, and they began preaching in the tongues of those gathered there “from every nation under heaven” (Acts 2:5), leading thousands to faith in Christ. Those languages and countries are many of the very places in the world thatContinue reading “Every Nation Under Heaven”

A Third of Us

Did you know that 1/3 of the world has been denied access to the Good News? That’s right. Nearly 2.3 billion people are cut off from hearing Jesus’ name. Most of these live in nations closed off to the Gospel message because of oppressive governments and/or religions. Missionaries are forbidden, Christians are persecuted, and seekersContinue reading “A Third of Us”

Pray for India

Due to the current surge in both Covid and persecution of Christians, let’s pray for India, #10 on the 2021 World Watchlist of most dangerous countries for Christians. Lord, please make a way where there seems to be no way for food and provisions to reach those in need. Make Yourself known to each ofContinue reading “Pray for India”

A Prayer for the Lost – John 3:16

Thank You, Lord, for taking upon Yourself the weight of our sin and bearing it in our place as You died upon that cross and then, three days later, rose from the dead. Because of Your sacrifice and resurrection, we now have salvation and eternal life. But, Jesus, today, we cry out to You forContinue reading “A Prayer for the Lost – John 3:16”

The Persecutors and the Persecuted

Remembering today what our Savior went through for our freedom, and praying for both persecutors and those enduring persecution for Christ’s sake throughout the world today: Lord, thank You for Your gift of the cross. Whatever we suffer feels so small compared to Your taking on the whole burden of our sin and carrying itContinue reading “The Persecutors and the Persecuted”
