Paul mentioned praying for the churches he's writing to in several of his letters, but in the letter to the Ephesians, he actually prays . . . twice! Both of Paul’s prayers describe something we should all long for—being filled with the fullness of God (Ephesians 3:19). During these two weeks, be part of the group as they look at what it means to be filled with the fullness of God, and how praying that for those around us can have a tremendous impact.
When a family member falls ill . . . or a financial crisis becomes too apparent to ignore . . . we pray. But what if our first response was to pray in all situations, not just in times of crisis? This week on Discover the Word, we head back to Ephesians to start a new week of conversations and explore what motivated the apostle Paul to pray in the first place.
Many of us love checking things off our to-do lists or reaching the milestones of our five-year plans. Yet, we quickly learn that life rarely goes as planned . . . and feeling defeated and hopeless are to be expected. But there’s one place we can always turn to for help.
In our day-to-day struggles, it’s easy to get overwhelmed with negative emotions. Fear, anxiety, anger, despair. . . we know all these things far too well. But thankfully, we don’t have to deal with those feelings alone. Join Elisa, Daniel, Bill, and Mart as they explore how the Holy Spirit strengthens and encourages our hearts.
The storms of life are powerful and often feel relentless. But when we’re firmly rooted in God’s love . . . nothing can knock us down. We invite you to pull up a chair to the table and join the Discover the Word team as they encourage us to root our hope and happiness in the One who never fails us.
As Christians, we’re not isolated individuals scattered across the globe. We’re a formidable force . . . united with one another through Jesus Christ. Come along with the Discover the Word team as they wrap up their study of “Praying Paul’s Prayers” by showing us the fullness and richness that comes from being part of a community of believers.
