Community Prayer

We join together in the spiritual practice of prayer. Here's what our church family is lifting up this week:

SUNDAY - Father, thank you for a new day to worship you. Thank you for your abundant love, mercy, grace, and countless blessings.

MONDAY - Father, we pray for Pastor Thomas Hodzi of Christ of First Importance Ministries (COFIM) and the Shona Bible Institute in Zimbabwe. We pray for the Hodzi family and the Covenanters Christian Church where he pastors. We thank you for calling Pastor Hodzi to serve you sacrificially and ask you to empower his efforts and all those who learn from him to spread the Gospel in Zimbabwe and beyond.

TUESDAY - Father, we pray today for those that do not know you in our communities and in our lives. We ask that you would speak to them in whatever way reaches them, and that their hearts might be softened to your Gospel. May we be good examples of your love and represent you well as we share your love with others.

WEDNESDAY - Father, we pray for the children as they are starting back to school. We ask that you encourage them to study well and give them abilities to succeed academically and socially. Calm any fears that accompany the school day and keep them grounded in you.

THURSDAY - Father, we pray today for those in our church body who are suffering, whether because of illness or injury, financial struggles, difficult relationships, job stress, grief, or anything else. We pray that you would give them peace and hope in the midst of the darkness, remembering that you will carry them through it. Thank you that we have a living hope in you.

FRIDAY - Father, help us to ascribe to you the glory due your name and to worship you in the splendor of your holiness. We praise you for your power, glory, might, sovereignty, and majesty.

SATURDAY - Father, today we pray for our Executive Pastor, Jim Densmore, whose service to you enables us to worship you every Sunday without even thinking about everything done behind the scenes. We are grateful for him and ask you to bless him with renewed strength.

This Week's Message "The Good Life" | Pastor Matt Kottman Psalm 73 Sermon outline for 8/23/26 What Envy Sees What Worship Reveals What the Restored Heart Desires Questions for discussion and application What do you tend to envy in other people’s lives, and what does that reveal about your definition of the “good life”? Where are you tempted to think, “I have tried to obey God, so why hasn’t he given me this?” What does that reveal about what you may be seeking from God more than God himself? Why do you think Asaph’s perspective changed when he entered the sanctuary? How has gathering with God’s people helped correct your vision when your heart was discouraged, envious, or confused? What would it look like for you to say with Asaph, “God is the strength of my heart and my portion forever”? Where do you most need to learn that being near God is your greatest good?Watch LIVE On SUNDAY Watch last week’s sermon “Hope for the Downcast Soul” 👇 Next Week: Bob Childress starts a 4-part series on “Making Disciples His Way.” Community Prayer We join together in the spiritual practice of prayer. Here's what our church family is lifting up this week: SUNDAY - Jesus, we pray that we would be more like you, today and every day. We pray that we would not merely be content with changing the outside—varnishing ourselves to look good to others—but that we would seek real heart change. We pray for the Holy Spirit to change us from the inside (Ephesians 4:17-32). MONDAY - Father, we commit this week to you, trusting that your plan for us is perfect. We thank you that you provide abundantly for us each day. We pray for your presence to be with us this week so that we would reflect your character. Help us guard what we say so that we would be a source of encouragement to others by speaking what is good and helpful (1 Cor. 4:25). TUESDAY - Father, today we pray for SRCF-sponsored missionaries Steve and Laura Newkirk with World Venture in Senegal. We continue to thank you for the Wolof translation of the Bible and for the ongoing production of the audio version. We ask for your blessings for Steve and Laura, as well as the Senegalese leadership and participation in the church. WEDNESDAY - Father, help us resist the kind of temptation that the world has to offer. Instead, we turn to you for the wisdom that enables us to make choices that are pleasing to you. THURSDAY - Father, we pray today for our church family. We are thankful for our leadership and this body of believers who are committed to Jesus. We ask that you would cause us to delight in your word, to seek to become more Christlike, and to move toward maturity in our understanding of the Gospel. FRIDAY - Father, we continue to pray for our nation. You have placed us all here for a purpose and with the opportunity to share the Gospel within the freedom of religion we enjoy. Help us not to take this precious freedom for granted. Increase our faith to trust you that our lives and the future of our country are safely in your hands. SATURDAY - Father, we pray that you would draw us closer to you. Reveal your truth, wisdom, and love to us, and help us to experience the fullness of your grace and peace. We ask that you would strengthen our faith and empower us to walk in your light. Giving Your generosity makes our work in this city possible. We’re so grateful for you.Give Now Here New to our community? No pressure. Today, just be our guest.
