Prayer
2027 Theme:
At the Foot of the Cross: Prayer
The greatest battles a man will fight are won on his knees. This year, we are stripping away the distractions and heading straight to the foot of the cross. We’ll be diving deep into the ultimate weapon in a believer’s arsenal: Prayer.
What We’ll Cover:
The Power & Importance: Why prayer changes things.
The Types of Prayer: Praise, repentance, intercession, and listening.
The “How-To”: Practical habits for building a daily, relentless prayer life.
“Do not be anxious about anything, but in every situation, by prayer and petition, with thanksgiving, present your requests to God.” — Philippians 4:6
We will share a schedule once it is finalized.
