Unceasing Prayer

Jeremiah 33 | Would you agree that prayer is often the most talked about and least practiced aspect of the Christian life?

Perhaps you’re like me and you have experienced the power of passionate and audacious prayer, and you have the desire to make this a regular habit in your personal walk with the Lord, but you tend to lack the commitment to do so. In a lot of ways, this reminds me of trying to fit into those jeans that, before the holidays, weren’t so tight. But somehow, I never seem to be able to keep the motivation to wake up early and hit the treadmill in order to lose some of the “hindrances” of my previously comfortable jeans.

To be honest, I don’t need to be told to pray more passionately to the Lord, just like I don't need a scale to remind myself that I need to exercise. What I need is MOTIVATION.

In this week's text, God provides us with some of the greatest motivation we could ever dream of in order to awaken our hearts again to the powerful effects of prayer.

Romans 10 | The word “unafraid” is used very intentionally. What prevents us from telling other people about Jesus? Fear. Fear of rejection. Fear of damaging the relationship. Fear of what they will think of us. We don’t need another message this week that simply says we should tell people about Jesus. We need to see what is at stake. We need to know what God has called us to in this. We need to see how He has equipped us for it!

John 4 | Have you seen the news lately?

It seems as if the world around us is falling apart one day at a time. You probably don’t need convincing that our world feels broken and spinning out of control. But what if I told you that all of the brokenness and hurt and pain and issues we see around us comes down to one thing?

And what if I told you that the one thing is worship? Join us on Sunday to see how worship is both the problem and the solution to the brokenness we see in ourselves and in the world around us.

2 Timothy 4 | A few weeks ago I was in Chicago, and as I was walking down Michigan Avenue I would lift my head vertically in awe of the towering buildings overhead. Then I began to think, “I wonder what the foundation underground holding up these buildings looks like?” You cannot build something that high into the air without building a solid foundation deep into the ground.

No building can stand without a firm foundation, and no church will stand without some core biblical pillars it is built on. Our church is built on 4 Pillars taken right from the word of God. Don’t miss the next 4 Sundays as we unpack each of these 4 Pillars and study together why Harvest is all about each of these Pillars.

This Sunday, we start with our Unapologetic Preaching Pillar. What does it mean for us to be a church built on Unapologetic Preaching? How does Unapologetic Preaching change lives? And how do we make sure we never waver from this commitment?
