… your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Matthew 6:10
This prayer is deeply inspiring and incredibly challenging to me. I love that it represents a heart of total surrender – complete obedience and overwhelming dependence upon a loving Father. At the same time, I believe this is one of the most challenging prayers for us to pray, as it’s so easy to move through life thinking we have to make it happen…we have to be enough… we can overwhelm whatever problems or difficulties come our way building our kingdom on our own strength and on our own power. This is a prayer that invites God to move in powerful and supernatural ways. This is the prayer we will be praying together as a community this weekend in our healing services. These services are a beautiful expression of the power of the Holy Spirit on display, as people come in total surrender and dependence to trust and believe that God can and will bring healing into their lives, into your life. Be praying with anticipation about how God will move this week. Also be praying in anticipation about who God wants you to invite into this powerful experience as we get to see the love of God on display through His presence, His power and His people.

… I have come that they may have life, and have it to the full.
John 10:10
I love how we’re seeing life – true life…abundant life – on display in our church. Last weekend was awesome as we celebrated life in community with one another on Saturday night during service and after at our Pumpkin Patch! I loved seeing families hanging out together, eating, enjoying music and building relationship with one another. (Saturday Nights are a great time to experience life in community!:) I love that we were able to see life transformation as more than 100 people stood in our experiences and said “I Believe,” trusting Jesus with their lives. I love that we celebrated life change together as over 30 children, students and adults were baptized on Sunday. There are always opportunities to have our lives transformed and invite others into this journey with us. If you or someone you know is looking to experience new life in your marriage, join us as we finish our Building Healthy Marriages series with Doug Fields tomorrow night from 6:30-8p in the Community Center.
Then, this weekend, we continue walking through Romans 8 together. Kenton will be leading us through a beautiful passage that reminds us about our identity as sons and daughters of a loving, heavenly Father. Join us in this great adventure of experiencing the full, abundant life that God desires for each of us to walk in. Invite your friends and family into this journey and we’ll see you this weekend.
