Matt looks at the how Jesus prays and how Mary and Martha speak to Jesus. Contrastsing Martha's raw, emotionally honest prayer when her brother Lazarus dies with Jesus' familiar, trusting prayer to the Father before raising Lazarus from the dead. Matt encourages the congregation to pray with the same intimacy and honesty as Jesus and Martha, holding nothing back from God.
Matt's vision series is to be fully engaged - giving, serving, and praying - so they can experience the resurrection power of Jesus in their lives. As they give Jesus access to every area of their lives through prayer, he can perform miraculous transformations. The ultimate desire is for others to encounter the real Jesus through seeing his miraculous work in the lives of the congregation.
