Will you pray for these things…specifically?

Easter is here! Our first service is tomorrow night…so it’s time to pray. Here are a handful of prayer prompts to get you going. Please commit to pray through this list each day throughout the rest of this week.

1-Soften MY heart. Before you pray for anyone or anything else. Ask God to speak to you in a fresh new way, even if the story of the resurrection of Jesus is one you know very well.

2-Use me…and others. For all of you who are Change Makers, please know how valuable you are. You may be the very first person someone interacts with. Actually, whether you’re on one of our Change Maker teams or not, if Community is your church…you have a huge part in helping someone feel at HOME. Ask God to reveal to you those you can help have a great experience.

3-Remove the excuses. Many have been invited. The devil will do all he can to throw excuses into people’s lives over the weekend. Let’s pray against that…and ask for God to open eyes, hearts and lives up to the power of His Gospel!

4-Open hearts to respond. We will be offering people the opportunity to “step in” to a relationship with Jesus and get baptized. Let’s all be praying for people to say YES to Jesus!

5-Help people connect to their NEXT STEPS. We want people to say YES to Jesus…but that is only the beginning. We are asking people, challenging people to follow Jesus…to be a disciple. Their next several steps are critical. They can take Next Step, which will be April 12 at the 10am service. They can sign up for a Rooted or LifeGroup. And of course…they can follow up by coming to our worship service the next week.

“Salvation is found in no one else, for there is no other name under heaven given to mankind by which we must be saved.” (Acts 4:12 NIV)
