Posted: March 1, 2019
The life and activity of Jesus begins by grace, is embraced by faith, and maintained through worship and a first love relationship with Jesus.
In this video you will learn about our mission and vision here at Paradigm One. Christ in You, The Hope of Glory.
The life and activity of Jesus begins by grace, is embraced by faith, and maintained through worship and a first love relationship with Jesus.
When church leaders and pastors are in the habit of observing God’s grace at work in our church, we then are compelled to respond with acts of faith. Acts of grace are calls to make much of Jesus, pray, and obey.
Pastors must be masters at observing and recognizing these moments of grace and drawing their flock’s attention to them.
When Jesus is given His rightful spot as Head of the local church, pastors can begin and should begin to shepherd the congregation in prayer, the vital connection to the Head.
Great relief comes when we remember that is indeed Jesus Who will build His church, not a pastor’s own strength and power.
We often forget that before we can reach a lost and dying world, we need to pray! In Matthew’s gospel, Jesus tells us that we need to pray to the Lord of the Harvest. Prayer is where evangelism begins.
Prayers for the needs of the outer man can dominate our prayer requests. While these prayers are important, above these we have to pray for the needs of the inner man, especially in times of great trial.
The Bible says that Christ is the Head of the church and the church is His body. What keeps the body connected to the Head? Prayer.
Jesus is the life and the hope of the church. When we submit to His active headship, His life flows through us. When we pray together then, we must pray together as one under Christ our Head.
Jesus makes some remarkable statements and promises to the believers who abide in Him in John 15. When we make our home in Jesus, we are sure to receive what we need when we need it, including what’s needed to pray.
