Are you feeling spiritually adrift, overwhelmed, or disconnected from God? Prayer is not just a last resort—it’s our lifeline. In the first sermon of our new series, Lifeline: Connecting to God Through Prayer, Senior Minister Adam Woods unpacks Matthew 21:12-13, where Jesus flips tables in the temple to restore it as a house of prayer.

Prayer is more than a ritual or a religious duty—it’s the very connection that anchors us to God’s Presence, Power, and Purpose. In this message, we explore:

🛟 Why prayer must be our first response, not our last resort

🛟 How the Church (and we as individuals) are called to be a House of Prayer

🛟 How prioritizing time with God leads to joy, peace, and transformation

🛟 Practical steps to deepen our prayer lives, including learning to listen to God

As we begin this four-week journey, let’s rediscover the life-giving power of prayer and commit to becoming a people who pray continually and seek God’s presence above all else.

📖 Scripture Reference: Matthew 21:12-13

🙏 Key Themes: Prayer, Spiritual Growth, Presence of God, Connection with Christ

📌 Challenge for This Week: Take 15 minutes each day to sit with God—reading His Word, praying, and listening. Let’s prioritize prayer and become a House of Prayer together.
