Becoming Agents of Holiness- Pt 2 (9/25/16)

Pastor Jim is beginning a sermon series on Prayer, entitled “Becoming Objects of Holiness.” In this first week, he reminded us that prayer changes us; it doesn’t change God. In order to grow into holiness and to be an “agent” that God can use to His glory, we must develop an active and growing prayer life. And it’s important that we pray together as a family of believers in “Corporate Prayer.” Yeah- I can go into my “prayer closet” and pray all by myself; and that is important. But...

The next time you get into your car, notice what you do. It’s all habit so you probably haven’t even thought about it. But chances are, you sit down, buckle up, and then you start the engine. But before you go, what’s the first part of the car you touch? Or put it this way… do you start out by touching the Steering Wheel or do you instantly go to the Spare Tire?
