What if the difference between good decisions and God’s best comes down to how you pray? In “Praying Like Jesus,” Pastor DeWayne L. Wright begins a powerful two-part series on aligning our lives—and our church—with the will of God through prayer. Drawing from passages such as Mark 1, Luke 5–6, and Luke 22, Pastor Wright shows how Jesus consistently withdrew to pray before making major decisions, modeling a life led by the Spirit rather than by pressure, opportunity, or logic alone.

This message challenges believers to move beyond surface-level or routine prayer and step into a deeper, more intentional relationship with God—one that seeks His will above personal preference. As the church prepares for transition and growth, Pastor Wright reminds us that before we build, plan, or move forward, we must first pray—because prayer is not the only thing we do, but it is where everything must begin.
