PRAYER: Is Prayer Important?

The way of prayer is truly the way of life. Let us give ourselves to prayer! Jesus prayed much even though He was God’s only begotten Son from eternity past.Through His words and His actions Jesus tells us how import prayer is.

Now in the morning, having risen a long while before daylight, He went out and departed to a solitary place; and there He prayed.” Mark 1:35.

"You do not have because you do not ask.” James 4:2.

"Until now you have asked nothing in My name. Ask, and you will receive, that your joy may be full.” John 16:24

Prayer Partners are available at the front of the worship area after today’s service.

Gracious Favor – Pastor Daniel Groves

Favor is dependent upon obedience. Favor is connected to expectation.

Psalm 90:17 (NIV)
90May the favor[a] of the Lord our God rest on us; establish the work of our hands for us— yes, establish the work of our hands.

Matthew 6:33 New King James Version (NKJV)

1My son, do not forget my teaching, but let your heart keep my commandments,
2 for length of days and years of life and peace they will add to you.
3 Let not steadfast love and faithfulness forsake you;
bind them around your neck; write them on the tablet of your heart.
4 So you will find favor and good success[a] in the sight of God and man.
5
Trust in the Lord with all your heart, and do not lean on your own understanding.
6 In all your ways acknowledge him, and he will make straight your paths.

Is God trying to get something to you but you haven’t aligned yourself in a position to receive it?

2 Corinthians 9:8 New Living Translation (NLT)
8And God is able to make all grace abound to you, so that having all sufficiency[a] in all things at all times, you may abound in every good work.

9The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made.

Lamentations 3:22-23 (NIV)
22Because of the Lord’s great love we are not consumed, for his compassions never fail.
23 They are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.

Galatians 6:9 (CSB)
9Let us not get tired of doing good, for we will reap at the proper time if we don’t give up.

Proverbs 11:25 (MSG)
25The one who blesses others is abundantly blessed; those who help others are helped.

Numbers 6:24-26 (NIV)
24The Lord bless you and keep you;
25 the Lord make his face shine on you
and be gracious to you;
26 the Lord turn his face toward you and give you peace.”

The word GRACIOUS actually means "to grant favor."
