On Wednesday night we have a combined teaching and prayer time which follows our midweek dinner. At 7:00 pm I teach for 15 minutes about prayer. We discuss things like how to pray, what to pray for, what to do when you don't want to pray, and how to pray when you don't know what to pray for. Then, we kneel our knowledge into action and tether the teaching to 30 minutes of prayer time. The style of our prayer time varies from week to week ranging from small groups, large groups, leader called prayer, and others. I believe this humble agenda honors God and brings him glory. Please join us.
Some might wonder if people will be reluctant to come for an extended time of prayer. William Cooper said that
We will be concerned with neither the fear of man or Satan. We are boldly driven by our love for God and our desire to humbly declare our allegiance to him. Spurgeon said years ago:
Jim Cymbala, Pastor of the Brooklyn Tabernacle and author of "Fresh Wind Fresh Fire" declared similarly that:
Although well said, Spurgeon and Cymbala are dirt and blood like you and me. God said,
Brothers and sisters in Christ please join us on Wednesday night and declare your humble dependence on God for all things.
