We have just completed our series of 52 Biblical reasons for believers to pray together - one reason for every week of the year! We began with the fact that we are commanded to pray, then worked through prayer as a spiritual weapon, prayer as a means to know more of the Holy Spirit's influences in our lives and therefore to have more of His fruit produced within us, and closed by looking at how to overcome some things that may hold us back from praying. As one of the “Reasons” asks us, “can we think of anything more powerful and effective that we can do to forward God's plans and purposes than to pray?”
You will find links to each of the reasons by clicking here. Read each entry prayerfully(!) and ask God to convict you of the truth of the arguments presented and to motivate you to pray more, in private, in your families and in your fellowships. With the completion of our series of 52 Reasons to Pray, we decided to expand the blog to consider reasons to use the other means of grace that God has provided. This week, therefore, we have begun a series on 52 Reasons to Read and Hear God’s Word.We begin this series by meditating on the fact that God’s Word is really that - the Word of God and not of men. The King of Kings Himself has spoken to us through His written Word, but sadly in many cases all our household Bibles do is to gather dust on bookshelves. The series presented here is therefore designed to give us reasons from the Bible to encourage and persuade us to read its pages more than we currently do. It is as we read and listen to God's Word and as God's Spirit uses it in our lives that it will do the work for which God gave it to us - that of salvation and sanctification. Our prayer is that we all might become avid students of the Word - and not just hearers of it but doers also!
Check out our evening sermon on May 15th at 6 PM: "I won't come to Christ because... There's nothing I can do to be saved."
Some people, when exposed to the doctrine of God's Sovereignty in salvation, turn this into an excuse for continued unbelief. They say to themselves, "If I am meant to become a Christian, God will make me one. There is nothing I can do about it!" Therefore, they do nothing, but continue in a path of disobedience and unbelief. We will see that such an approach is highly presumptuous and effectively puts God to the test. While it is certainly true that God alone decides whom He will save and whom He will leave to receive the just punishment for their sin, we must not overlook all the commands of Scripture that tell us we are to strive to enter God's Kingdom, we are to ask, to seek, to knock, we are not to give up until God grants us admission to the company of His people. Inactivity on our part will most effectively seal our eternal fate.Come and join us or watch our live broadcast!
