Key Scripture: Acts 2:42-44- 42 "And they devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and the prayers. And fear came upon every soul, and many wonders and signs were being done through the apostles. And all who believed were together and had all things in common."
The past eight days we have focused on what corporate prayer is, the necessity for it, how we pray corporately, what we can learn from it, and specific examples from scripture. We have also studied the scripture passage above as it relates to the early church. Now that we understand what the passage meant to the early church, we can rightly apply it to our present-day life. We desire, through obedience, to follow that same model of corporate prayer in the early church here at Richland Creek.
God, in His grace, has allowed prayer to be something the family of believers participates in together when the church gathers. Keep in mind that this is something people are murdered for daily in many other parts of the world. What a true gift it is that we can come together as the body of Christ. May we not take it for granted.
Richland Creek gathers monthly, on the last Sunday night of each month, for a time of corporate prayer. We come together and spend time in prayer over various topics affecting our church and the world. We invite you to join us as we boldly proclaim the Word of God through corporate prayer.
Our Next Prayer Meeting: Sunday, September 26 at 6:00 pm
Questions to Consider:
Do you value our time of corporate prayer so much that it drives you to participate each month?
Do you take for granted our ability to come together in corporate prayer? Do you have a better understanding of the importance of corporate prayer?
Prayer Prompts:
-
Father, we pray that our entire congregation would participate in our time of corporate prayer each month and that our faith would be deepened by doing so.
-
May it be a sweet time of unity as a body as we communicate with you through prayer.
