Should God's People Pray?
This message centers on a powerful promise from 2 Chronicles 7:14—a divine invitation that speaks directly to us as God's people living in the end times. We're challenged to examine what it truly means to be called by God's name and to embrace our sacred duty: to humble ourselves, pray, seek His face, and turn from our wicked ways. The sermon unpacks the profound concept of humility, showing us through the story of Rehoboam and Judah's leaders that humbling ourselves isn't about feeling bad—it's about turning back to God's way instead of our own. We're confronted with an uncomfortable truth: even as Seventh-day Adventists, we can abandon God by thinking our way is right, by being too busy for prayer, or by convincing ourselves that corporate prayer doesn't fit our schedule. The message draws a stark parallel between ancient Israel's abandonment of God and our modern tendency to neglect prayer, reminding us that God always answers prayer—sometimes with yes, sometimes with no, and sometimes with wait. As we face the approaching end times and the prophesied shaking within the church, we're urged to become a truly praying people, not just on Sabbath but throughout the week, building relationships with God and each other that will sustain us through what's coming.
