Message: “What is Prayer?” from Brian Richardson

Intercession is an essential testimony of a vibrant, united faith family. When we learn to pray specifically for others--to stand in the gap--we position ourselves to pray for the things important to us, our passions, and our own Spirit-sourced desires. Practicing intercession prepares us to recognize God's ordained intersections and to depend on His leading and the Holy Spirit's prompting.

Scripture: Matthew 22:37-40, Colossians 4:12, Romans 8:26, Romans 8:34, Psalms 37:4

From Series: "Teach Us to Pray"

Eugene Peterson writes, “a life of prayer is the connective tissue between holy day proclamation and weekday discipleship.” Prayer is the glue between the times we are FILLED UP and those when we're POURED OUT. Jesus’ invitation to come--to follow--is an invitation to know Him. We learn about others by talking, sharing, and listening. “Teach Us to Pray” is two-way conversation about prayer…about knowing God. Our talks will include the “what” and the “why” of prayer, the importance of intercession, and how to talk with God and not just at Him. During this series you are also invited to join us in 30 days of prayer and fasting…intentionally creating capacity for us to know God more!
