Come and adore Him, who frees us from our sin.

Gospel ministry is for us all, because of the ministry with the mighty, merciful Messiah.

Where is your ultimate joy? What do you worship?

It will be something.

Our world is weary…

Marriages under tension, broken relationships, adultery, cheating brothers, crimes against women, refugees, murder, idol worship, wicked leaders…and that’s just in the family tree of Jesus.

In Matthew 1 we see a thrill of hope that our world has waited ages for.

It’s not just a matter of the number of workers, but a matter of our ministry of prayer flowing out of that same compassion and cries out to God.

We might do a whole bunch of stuff as a church. But if someone was to see our daily, weekly and seasonally ministry - it would be all about making disciple-makers.

God listens…and I need him to. Today’s message from God’s word is that by God’s grace, we pray. We get to pray.
