When God hits the fast-forward button

On Sunday Pastor Dustin preached from Psalm 85. He reminded us that revival is a fresh infusion of spiritual life and vitality that comes from God. It happens regularly in the Scriptures. It is an ongoing need for God’s people — one that God is glad to meet. When we are weary, frustrated, and burdened we need the Spirit of God to break into our lives with unexpected power and grace. Let’s pray and prepare for Him to do just that.

We had technical difficulties this week and did not capture a sermon recording. A lightly edited transcript of the sermon is available here.

“Prayer is bringing your helplessness to Jesus. We forget that helplessness is how the Christian life works. The gospel, God’s free gift of grace in Jesus, only works when we realize we don’t have it all together. The same is true for prayer. The very thing we are allergic to – our helplessness – is what makes prayer work. It works because we are helpless. We can’t do life on our own.”
Paul Miller, A Praying Life

Prayer fuels the life and ministry of our church. Praying together is crucial. As we express our neediness and dependence with one voice, God hears and responds.

You’re Invited!

Join us next week as we come before God expectantly. He is going to exceed our expectations.

Support the work of ministry

There are so many tasks done behind the scenes to keep our church moving forward. And we’ve got an opportunity for you to help! If you’re interested in volunteering to provide administrative support, send an email to info@sovgraceoc.org with your availability.

God gives pastors to his church for his church. It’s important that we identify them, train them, and deploy them. In our denomination, God has given us a great resource to do just that. Check out the 2021 Mission Video highlighting our Pastors College. Consider giving to support the crucial work of raising up the next generation of pastors.

Psalm 1

On Sunday Pastor Mike preached from Psalm 1. He reminded us that man’s way is a path fraught with danger and despair. But there is a blessed way to life. Jesus walked that path. And by trusting Him, we can walk that path too.
