Keeping Our Vision in View
Pray that in 2026 God will baptize each person in our church with the Holy Spirit with the gift of speaking in tongues.
The Effectiveness of Our Evangelism Depends on Prayer
Lord, lead us to men and women of peace who will receive us and the gospel and help us spread the gospel to their circles.
A Promise of Answers to Prayer and Faith
John 14:12–14 ESV says, “Truly, truly, I say to you, whoever believes in me will also do the works that I do; and greater works than these will he do, because I am going to the Father. Whatever you ask in my name, this I will do, that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If you ask me anything in my name, I will do it.”
A Promise of Protection
Psalm 121:7 says, “The LORD will keep you from all evil; he will keep your life.”
A Promise of Wisdom
Matthew 7:7 says, “Seek and you will find.” (ESV)
A Promise of Healing and Health
Third John 1:2 says, “Beloved, I pray that all may go well with you and that you may be in good health, as it goes well with your soul.”
A Promise of Full Provision
Jesus tells us to pray, “Give us this day our daily bread” (Matthew 6:11).
An Exhortation from Jesus
“See that you are not led astray” (Luke 21:8).
The Reliability of the Bible
2 Timothy 3:16–17 ESV – “All Scripture is breathed out by God and profitable for teaching, for reproof, for correction, and for training in righteousness, that the man of God may be complete, equipped for every good work.”
Much love,
Pastor Brian
