“As it is the business of tailors
to make clothes and of cobblers to mend shoes, so it is the business of
Christians to pray.”
-Martin Luther
Greetings
Friends!
As most of you know, one of the areas we are seeing greater
intentionality in this year is prayer. It may sound like a no-brainer, but
if we are honest, prayer is an area each of struggles to remain
faithful in.
In Colossians 4:2 Paul encourages us to “Continue steadfastly
in prayer, being watchful in it with thanksgiving”. In our grace-driven
attempts to make Jesus our chief affection we are trying to put this
text into practice.
To do so we have been holding weekly prayer meetings each
Monday morning from 7-8AM at the church offices. This has been a time
of tremendous blessing to me personally and I want to continue to invite
you to join us as we seek God together.
I also want to
both remind you and encourage you to set aside one 30-minute period a
week to pray specifically for the Redemption prayer requests that come
with this newsletter each week. Together we need to seek God as family
for Gospel-work in our lives, in church, and in our communities.
Will you join us
in this? We would love to know that you are praying and when you are
praying. If you would be so kind as to reply to this email and let us
know you are with us and when you are praying each week so we can pray
you remain faithful in this task.
I love you guys and humbled by your partnership in the mission
of Jesus!
For the glory of God,
Ryan
