Let’s Pray Together

Kyle Bartholic   -  

Intercessory prayer is the purifying bath into which the individual and the community must enter every day.

The renowned German theologian, Dietrich Bonhoeffer, said this about the importance of prayer, “Intercessory prayer is the purifying bath into which the individual and the community must enter every day.” As Bonhoeffer notes, there is something powerful in the act of prayer. Specifically, that prayer, as it aligns our hearts with God’s will, it also purifies our spirit. In that, our hearts and lives come more in alignment with the Father’s will. As we petition and intercede for God to make Himself known in our city, nation, and the world, God will also draw out things in us that He was to rid from our lives. That is a beautiful gift of prayer. As we approach God with intercession, He also does a work in us. This is something we must do as individuals and as a community of believers.

This Sunday (10/17), we have an opportunity to pray and praise together as a corporate body. Take 3 minutes, and watch this short invitation for Sunday evening. Hope to see you there!
