Prayer that shakes the foundations
In Acts 4:31, the apostles' prayer for boldness led to a moment that shook their very foundation—literally and spiritually. They were filled with the Holy Spirit and transformed into fearless witnesses. What if that kind of divine shaking happened to you? Pastor Cyndi explores both Biblical and recent examples of people embracing this kind of transformative faith and their reshaping by the Holy Spirit.
Prayer that builds roots
Ephesians 3 teaches us how to pray for others. To pray for others in this way can expand our longings to conform to God’s desires. It’s one of many “birthday gifts” given to us through the ages, some in scripture and some from the saints who have gone before. Routinely praying a prayer, even when we don't feel like it, can be a way of opening ourselves to God's transformation.
And the peace of God…
Philippians 4:7 promises that the peace of God, which surpasses all understanding, will guard your hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. But how do we open ourselves to God bringing about this peace within us? Pastor Cyndi McDonald reflects on what peace looks like, and then how the next two verses lead us into experiencing this peace.
Plans in the Trouble
