What are you Praying for?

Pastor Terrence Young

One of the best ways to discover a Christians chief anxieties and ambitions is to study the content of their prayers and the intensity with which he prays them. We will all pray about what concerns us and are evidently not concerned about matters we do not include in our prayers. Prayer expresses desire.”

John Stott

Ephesians 3:18-19a

it seems to me legitimate to say that the love of Christ is ‘broad’ enough to encompass all mankind (especially Jews and Gentiles, the theme of these chapters), ‘long’ enough to last for eternity, ‘deep’ enough to reach the most degraded sinner, and ‘high’ enough to exalt him to heaven”

John Stott

Whether you go forward or backward, up to the heights or down to the depths, nothing will separate us from the love of Christ”

Jesus, I recognize that I am a sinner in need of Your forgiveness. I believe that You died on the cross for my sins and rose from the dead. I turn from my sins and place my trust in You as my Lord and Savior. Please receive me now. I pray this in Jesus’ name, Amen.

Jesus, save the lost and guide the saved.
