In Romans 9, the apostle Paul talks about how he feels an obligation to those who have not heard the name of Jesus. We too should feel compelled in the same way. Some of us are not called to go, but we all can be senders for those that do go.

DON'T MISS THIS MESSAGE. THIS IS WHO WE ARE! The last thing Jesus says to his disciples before leaving this earth is to go to all parts of the earth to tell others about him.We are a church that is all about this mission! We want to reach people around us and on the other side of the world.

The final Dangerous Prayer that we are looking at comes from Isaiah chapter 6 where he prays, "Send me." What if we became completely surrendered to God to the point of going anywhere, anytime, to do anything He asks us to. This prayer could totally change the trajectory of your life...so get ready!

For our second Dangerous Prayer, "Break me", we looked at two stories about broken things from Mark 14. We asked the question: "What if praying safe prayers like 'Bless us' & 'Keep us safe' is the equivalent to praying 'Don't let me grow.'" We're looking at how, many times, we grow more when we are broken.

We are in the habit of praying safe prayers: "Bless me" "Help me" "Keep me safe." God wants us to go deeper - to be more dangerous with our prayers. Our first dangerous prayer, "Search me", is taken from King David's Psalm 139, "Search me, God, and know my heart; test me and know my anxious thoughts. See if there is any offensive way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting."

Prayer is the key… it’s the answer… it’s central to everything we do, everything we talk about. Central to our relationship with God – but specifically, central to living out our faith! This week we take a 30,000ft view of prayer throughout the Bible and how we can apply it to our lives.

Guest speaker Kevin Senapatiratne shares some insight on prayer and how we can bring that connection with God into our everyday lives.

Jesus did many miraculous and amazing things. He wasn't able to do these things just because he was the Son of God, but because of his connection with the Father. In John 15, Jesus shares a great illustration using a vine, the branches, and the fruit on the branches to describe why it is so important to "remain" in Him.

God is calling us to a new movement of prayer. Join us as we talk about the importance of prayer and how the next 21 days will be a springboard for us and our church family.

Being the OFFENDED can be just as unhealthy and wrong as it is to be the OFFENDER.But there's good news: You can choose if you are going to be offended. "SAY WHAT?" Join us as we talk about one of the biggest plagues that is attacking our country today.
