- The Joy of Community [Philippians 4:15-18]
The season of our culture begs the need for community in ways we may not be used to. We’re recognizing again the importance of the web of our relationships and we need to consider how important the intentional support of others is--whether we see them face to face or not. Paul was experiencing that in today’s passage. We’ll pray through that topic and worship God as Adonai.

Worship: Adonai

10 min - Think About It [Philippians 4:8-9]
We begin a worship series praying through the names of God and we bring something before God that most of us struggle with: our thought life. What’s supposed to be going on on our minds, and how do we glorify God in that often-murky-and-independent area? Paul’s prescription is deceptively simple.

About Praying Scripture
From the publisher's feed
I was a long time into my life as a Christ-follower. Years. Maybe even decades-old as a believer before I began the practice of praying scripture, before I’d even heard of it.
I’ve done fancy prayer journals, simple prayers, organized and led three-day fasting and prayer events, and church prayer retreats. I’ve read countless books on prayer. But, other than simply sitting in the presence of God and feeling loved on, praying scripture is my favorite type of prayer.
Praying using the words of God is simple and helps keep our hearts and mind focused during prayer (hello, who else has trouble staying on task in prayer?). It gives us confidence that our words are based in truth and aligns our perspective with God’s.
This show is about learning by doing. I won't be teaching, I'll actually be praying and we record the episodes live each weekday on Facebook.
In every episode, we pray through four topics: worship, a psalm, prayer for ourselves, and prayer for our culture.
My heart is that as we pray scripture together, that we’ll grow in our prayer lives, that God will use this time to direct our hearts in our own circumstances, and that he’ll answer these prayers in mighty ways.
But most of all, I hope that by joining me in praying scripture, you’ll fall deeper in love with the God who gave us these words.
Get comfy and let’s get started!
