Praying the Word

Feb 25, 2024    Chris Green

Join us as we continue our Lenten journey with "Learning to Breathe," where the art of prayer is likened to the vital act of breathing. Last week, in "the Inner Sanctuary", we unpacked the necessity of carving out a sacred space for prayer, much like creating an inner sanctuary, where you will find your unique rhythm and setting for prayer.


In this week's teaching, we delve into the richness of Jesus' metaphor of the vine and branches, unraveling the essence of abiding in Him. This isn't about checking off spiritual duties but engaging in an intimate, life-giving relationship with the Savior. We explore the stark contrast between empty religiosity and the dynamic of truly knowing Jesus, and how this authentic connection promises the profound joy of answered prayers and a fruitful life.


Chris turns also to the spiritual practice rooted in the power of Scripture. He guides us through the practice of praying the Bible, a way of turning Scripture into personal prayers. This approach ensures our prayers are rooted in divine truth, bringing confidence and potency to our conversations with God. By embedding God's Word into our prayer life, we're promised a spiritual vigor akin to running with greater strength and endurance. So, join us in this call to a vibrant prayer life that thrives on the Word and invites the fullness of joy that comes from a deep relationship with the Son of God.
