The wonder of prayer
When Peter was in prison, the church prayed earnestly, not to control the outcome, but to align with God. True prayer isn’t about getting our way; it’s about daily surrender, deepening our relationship with God, and trusting His will. Imagine how our lives, our relationships, and even our communities could be transformed if we truly grasped and leaned into the power of prayer.
The interior life
How much of our lives are for show? It’s not uncommon in church to feel the need to present as ‘good’ or ‘righteous’. And yet, how often to we fall short of the expectations we put on ourselves? What if Jesus isn’t as interested in what we are showing externally, but instead wants full commitment from our inner lives? Fasting is a useful personal discipline of abstinence which can help us grow closer to King Jesus—do we need to make sure we are doing it for the right reasons?
