We give thanks to God always for you, making mention of you in prayers.*
    On the first Sunday of every month at 5PM, we meet to offer up prayers and praise to God. Let your request be made known!

TYPES OF PRAYER

  • ADORATION - Praising God for who He is. Recognizing His power, majesty, glory, honour, grace, mercy, love, etc .
  • CONFESSION - Recognizing and acknowledging our own sins before God. Our weakness, our faults and our failures. This must be done in a spirit of humility.
  • THANKSGIVING - Thanking God for the many blessings He continues to bestow upon us. Spiritual - salvation, forgiveness, hope, peace, etc. Social - fellowship, family, friends. Medical - life, health, strength. Material - food, clothing, shelter.
  • SUPPLICATION - Petitioning God, according to His will, on our own behalf or on the behalf of others (intercession).

THE NEED FOR PRAYER

We need to pray fervently. We need to pray persistently. We must pray frequently — for the lost people we know, for our missionaries, for our civil leaders, for the sick among us, for those who persecute us, for those who are visiting our services, for those with whom we are studying, for those who have fallen away, for our own spiritual development, for our own forgiveness, for our weaknesses, for God’s providence to use us in his cause.

As Jesus teaches us how to pray, He also indicates why we should pray. God, our Creator and Redeemer, is not a reluctant hearer. He is a willing listener, inviting His children to pray and receive His blessings, as we offer up petitions and thanksgivings to our heavenly Father through Jesus Christ our Lord.
