PRAYER PROMPTER
Unfortunately, because of Covid-19, in-person prayer meeting is temporarily cancelled.
We gather as a church for a time of worship, a brief devotional challenge, and an extensive time of prayer. Praying together is a vital part of the spiritual health of FBC. Prayer is what fuels the ministries of our church and encourages us to grow in Christ. The early church met regularly to learn the doctrine of the apostles, break bread, and pray together (Acts 2:42). When we pray with other believers, it encourages us and helps to unify us as we share our common faith. The same Holy Spirit who dwells within each believer causes our hearts to rejoice as we hear praises to our Lord and Savior, knitting us together in a unique bond of fellowship found nowhere else in life. Praying together builds in us a love and concern for each other as we intercede for one another.
Mark Dever reminds us of the importance of corporate prayer when he says, "In individual prayer, I am simply responding to God myself—my own knowledge of him, my relationship with him, my experience with him. In corporate prayer, when somebody opens their mouth to pray for a whole group of people, then the person leading has to think not just for themselves but they have to think, “What does this Bible study group, or what does my family, or what does this local church need to praise God for, thank him for, confess, and ask him for right now?”
If you feel alone and are struggling with life’s burdens, hearing others lift them up to the throne of grace can be a great encouragement. Join us for Power Hour - each Wednesday night so you can be encouraged to lift your needs to the Throne of Grace.

"We must begin to believe that God, in the mystery of prayer, has entrusted us with a force that can move the Heavenly world, and can bring its power down to earth." Andrew Murray
