sunday's sermon was excellent! for those of you who don't go to elevation or for some reason missed church on sunday, you really need to take a few minutes and listen to pastor steven's sermon. it was the second sermon in the series entitled "sun stand still". if you go to elevation's web page you can hear the sermon!! (click here and then click on week 2 of the sermon in sun stand still series) you don't want to miss out on this life changing and prayer changing sermon. it is really, really good!!
pastor spoke on a new way to pray! he gave three main points -- to pray with audacity, accuracy and action. the third point, action, really spoke to me.
a lot of times we pray to for something and then we forget to do our part. we expect God to do it all. but as it clearly states in the bible in James 2:20 "faith without works is dead". sitting around all day and just praying isn't going to achieve a thing. to see God in action we have to take action.
pastor and his wife holly were blessed with a healthy baby boy on friday (yeah!!!) and pastor told the story of graham's birth. it was a complicated one. he used the analogy of labor and delivery. we have to push while we are praying. how true. to actually birth the baby we can't sit back and expect the baby to just be born, so while we are pushing we can pray for the new life about to be born.
and for those of you who know me and my heart, this one really hit home. i love hearing and talking all about labor, delivery and babies!!! and this made total sense to me.
there are a lot of things that are going on around here and am going to push while we are praying so that we can get through some of this stuff!!
i hope you will be pushing along side of me!!!!
