Current sermon series
Having read about the life and ministry of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Mark, we would like to study the life and ministry of His disciples as they continue Jesus’ ministry.
As we prepare ourselves, let me also connect our concluding sermon series on prayer and the topic of prayer in the book of Acts. In almost every chapter in Acts, you will find a reference to prayer, and the book makes it very clear that something happens when God’s people pray. Prayer was the heartbeat of the early church. These prayers were not ordinary: they were scripture-filled, Spirit-led, and faith-driven prayers. The disciples prayed for boldness, wisdom, healing, guidance, and deliverance, and God answered dramatically. Through prayer, prisoners were freed, the Holy Spirit was poured out, and entire cities were transformed.
In the words of Warren Wiersbe, “prayer is both the thermometer and the thermostat of the local church; for the ‘spiritual temperature’ either goes up or down, depending on how God’s people pray.” My desire is that we will continue to grow in how we infuse prayer in every aspect of our personal and church life.
