Matthew 9:35-38

July has been our month of service. We have organized several projects designed to help our church engage our community through acts of service. After July is over do the acts of service stop also? We see in matthew 5 that Jesus would have shine our light not only for good works but to glorify our Father in heaven. 

Last week we looked at the Lord’s Prayer and asked, who are we praying to? Once you know WHO you’re talking to, you know WHAT to pray for. What we pray for is not simply a matter of personal application but our prayer life impacts the whole church. If our church is to grow, we need to grow in our prayers as well. 

How’s your prayer life lately? Do you love to pray? Is growing your prayer life one of your New Year’s resolutions? For the next two weeks we will be looking at Christ’s teaching to see how his example might give us a foundation for a year full of prayer.
