Too Busy To NOT Pray

At New Community Church we have a strong desire 'to build a house of prayer.' We believe that a church that prays is a church that knows their limits, but also knows that God is limitless. If we are to build a re-producing, worshiping, missional, servant-hearted church, we will first and foremost need to be a praying church.

As many of you know, we currently have a once a month night of worship and prayer. We've really enjoyed these times together and plan on continuing these nights for the foreseeable future. However, we also feel like we want to create more opportunity for us to come together and pray. So this Thursday morning, 6:00 am at 711 St. Helens, we are launching a new, weekly, time for corporate prayer. We will be praying for our church and for other churches, for our city and for other cities, we'll be praying for ourselves and for other people.

Charles Spurgeon once said, "All hell is vanquished when the believer bows his knee in importunate supplication. Beloved brethren, let us pray. We cannot all argue, but we can all pray; we cannot all be leaders, but we can all be pleaders; we cannot all be mighty in rhetoric, but we can all be prevalent in prayer. I would sooner see you eloquent with God than with men. Prayer links us with the Eternal, the Omnipotent, the Infinite, and hence it is our chief resort. . . . Be sure that you are with God, and then you may be sure that God is with you."

I look forward to seeing you there! By they way, bring your own coffee!

If you have been a part of the 20/20/20 group on Thursday morning, come and pray instead.
