On Sunday, we continued this series with a teaching on declaring the word of God as prayer.

David shows us in the Psalms that in prayer there is a time for crying out in petition, exposing your need before God, and there is a time to rise and declare who God is and place your trust in Him.

When the pain of life strikes, we need to know how to strengthen ourselves in the Lord. We do this by staying connected to His voice and feasting on His word!

As we do this, the power of the gospel fills us and enables us to live by the Spirit.

On Sunday, Alex humbly offered this passage in Jeremiah as a word for our church in this season,

“This is what the Lord says to the people of Judah and to Jerusalem: ‘Break up your unplowed ground and do not sow among thorns.’” (4v3)

Much of the church in the West has been compromised over time through idolatry and arrogance.

Saints’ Hill, we are asking you, as priests and leaders, to set reality again by looking for unused land in your lives and our town, and breaking it up spiritually for a harvest of the kingdom in our time and place.

All of this tilling - the lament over our idolatry, the confession of sin, the return to the fear of the Lord in personal prayer - is meant to touch our valley, for His glory.

Jesus praying in the Garden of Gethsemane gives us the ultimate framework for how to pray and live in the midst of challenging circumstances and intense temptations. He shows us how we can actually make choices that align with God’s will.

A life of abiding in friendship with Jesus will transform your desires to the degree that you will be able to choose His ways.

Prayer is not a means to an end or an equation - prayer is a path to the person of Jesus. In His presence you will find everything that you need.

Last week, Alex shared why we pray - for the reordering of ourselves and the world we have responsibility for. 

This week we will be looking at the Lord’s Prayer to see how it is we are to pray. The Lord’s Prayer offers not just a prayer to be recited but a worldview to live into. 

We have a Father who desires relationship with us before anything. We also have a God who is holy - completely other. Our ability to grasp the holiness of God is the doorway into all kingdom activity. It’s His kingdom and His will that we are after on earth - meaning, we are invited to surrender all our own ideas and expectations for our life to see Him glorified. 

When we pray the Lord’s Prayer with our lives, we become the bridge between heaven and earth that we were designed to be.

Last week we talked about depth in our gathering and how adding a cross to our physical space helps us view our gathering as sacred.

This Sunday Alex shared about depth in our mission as the Church. Our mission cannot aim at securing cultural relevance or political power. Rather, each one of us must be faithful to sow the seeds that God has given us, and depend on His power to bring about the promised harvest. 

At Saints' Hill we are limiting our mission to connection with God (prayer). All fruitfulness is tied to communion with Him, so we look forward to how He will bring about the harvest in our town and in our time.

Every year our senior leader, Alex Rettmann, takes time to pray and think about a word that might give an aim for the coming year. This year that word is depth. 

In an age where the Church is thought of as a place to help you realize your project self, we want to put front and center, the Cross.

It requires depth and maturity to recognize that we live by faith in a world of brokenness, while also living with the possibility of heaven on earth. 

Thank you Jesus for the Cross.
