Basics for Believers: Prayer

On Sunday we will be continuing our series, Basics for Believers. One of the basics of life that each person needs to master, or at least be competent in, is communication. If a person is unable to communicate, that is being able to get their point across or hear and understand someone else’s point of view, getting through life will be difficult. I’ve known adults who are functionally illiterate and for them getting through life is a constant struggle. For Christians, communication with God is essential for our growth and understanding of what it means to be a follower of Christ. If our prayer life is not good, it is hard for us to grow spiritually — we may be able to grow in Biblical knowledge, but understanding the heart of God really comes through communication with God, and this happens through prayer. The good news about prayer is that there are many different ways in which to pray — it is not a one size fits all. The main thing is that we do pray, and we continue to grow in our prayer life. I hope that you’re able to join us this Sunday as we look at the why and how of prayer, and hopefully learn how to be more effective in our prayer life. Our gathering starts at 6pm, and we do have prayer before the service from 4:30-5:30 and all are welcome.
