This coming Sunday Pastor Chris will kick off a summer series centered around some of the most profound prayers in God’s word. The Bible is pregnant with the prayers of both saints and sinners. It gives us a rich record of how image bearers have turned to God in moments of triumph, suffering, repentance, and joy. When the disciples asked Jesus, “Lord, teach us to pray”, he famously introduced them to the Lord’s Prayer. Yet the Bible has an abundant supply of men and women modeling spirit-led prayer for us in addition to Jesus’s direct teaching. We begin with a famous prayer in Ephesians 3:14-21. Interestingly, Paul literally prays for riches and power in this passage. But this prayer is no self-centered request of God! This is the heart cry of a man who wanted to take his flock in Ephesus to deeper waters in Christ. Meditate this week on the depths of Paul’s sacred conversation with the Father and join us as we go deeper into the mystery revealed to us as New Covenant saints!
