In a world dividing and pulling apart from each other, let us press into the center and cling to Jesus. Division in a community is because of an individual’s divided heart. However, when followers return to the center, they are held together by the gravitational pull of love for Jesus.

In this passage, we learn about prayers needing to be persistent, the heart posture must be right, and the pursuit of the Kingdom must be seen through the faith of a child. We are looking at the last phrase of the Jesus prayer "a sinner." It is not calling yourself a sinner to describe your past, but to declare your dependancy on the righteousness of God, through Christ Jesus.

Have Mercy on Me...

This week we will be looking at the “Son of God” portion of the Jesus prayer. Because Jesus is the “Son of God” it means he has the power of restoration. Restorative work from the fall. Jesus is the exact image of the invisible God. This Aliso means Jesus is equal with God. Then lastly, Jesus has the authority from God as the Son. In the culture of Rome the title was left for Caesar alone, but early Christians denied Caesar as God and believed Jesus as the Son of God.

In week 1 we will highlight Jesus as Lord of all, savior of souls, and the anointed one of God. When we recognize in what name and power we come in, our hearts are tuned to the truth of heaven. We believe that not only is Jesus God, but is able to release kingdom power into our world.

Paul concludes the letter to Rome through addressing co-laborers and partners in the Gospel advancement in Rome. He gives clear warning about people who would bring disunity, and then gives them clear direction to the source of their strength.

Paul is concluding his massive letter to the Romans, by reminding them that the Gospel message is for service to one another, that any work of the Gospel is through being in Christ, and to experience the refreshing fruit of the Gospel.
