Thoughts About Prayers

"In a world that often says 'thoughts and prayers aren't enough,' we must remember that our God IS enough. This sermon addresses the importance of prayer, proclamation of God's Word, and praise in preparing for spiritual battles. The need for Christians to guard their hearts and to be equipped with these tools has never been greater - especially in light of the recent Catholic School shooting in Minneapolis. The message also explores the phrase "thoughts and prayers aren't enough" as a spiritual attack to dismiss God from our hearts and lives and instead to embrace the power of genuine, intentional, and faith-filled prayer. The sermon also touches on societal issues, the removal of God from public spaces, and the need for a heart change for every human - through the power and love of Jesus Christ.
