The 200's
A Snowy 2nd Sunday in Advent 2018 Greetings!
Pastor Josh & Sister Kristina 9 Dec 2018
In the early days of the church, Advent was a time of prayer, fasting & confession. Today, Advent is more a time of preparation & expectation of the coming of the Lord. Did you know the second advent candle has 3 different themes? Faith--to indicate the faith it took for Mary & Joseph to deal with the unexpected pregnancy & the trip to Bethlehem; Peace--for the peace promised to all mankind through the coming of the Savior; & the Bethlehem Candle pointing to the Savior's birth in a manger. He is coming again. Prepare!

1 July 2018 Prayer! Call2Fall Sunday Pastor Joshua Justice sermon notes
We have all heard this scripture before, 2 Chronicles 7:14. But the promise of this scripture is contingent upon a number of things. For one, it only applies to God’s people. Listen as Pastor Joshua takes us through this very important and foundational Scripture and shows us the benchmark for what defines that group called "the people of God." Pastor Joshua also shows us how to have the confidence that the promises of Scripture are yea and amen. He leads us through the questions we need to consider and answer as we reflect on who we are and Who He is, especially if we claim to be His. Prayer is absolutely crucial to discover the depths and the riches of our conversations and relationship with the King. As children of the King, we have both privileges and responsibilities. Prayer - It is both a call to faith and a call to action.

Pastor Josh suggested a second book which R. A. Torrey has authored entitled The Power of Prayer and strongly encourages we purchase a copy and skim the first five chapters then take the time to read well chapter 6 in preparation for the next session on Prayer! The Power of God's People.
The Power of Prayer is still under copyright, & so is not available as a PDF. According to the publisher's notes, this book discusses: The freedom, peace, & security available through communication with God; How to pray; Who can pray; What interferes with prayer & how these hindrances can be overcome; What prayer can do for a person or a nation; & finally, Why pray.
No other book so clearly outlines the positives of prayer, the prerequisites to prayer, the purpose of prayer, or the power of prayer.

In this session, Pastor Josh continues with his discussion of the importance and power of prayer in the life of a Christian. True prayer that touches the heart of God and brings results in the life of a believer comes from a place of passion--passion for God's law, passion for the personal relationship with a Holy Creator, passion for the lost, and passion for the truth and how to share it in love. He reminded us that our personal witness and relationship with Jesus the Christ through our passion to see them rescued from the path they are on is the strongest message we can share with those with whom we share our faith. Don't neglect a personal, passionate prayer life! It is your connection with the Lord and it is the channel that brings both power and revival to your soul!
