On a Mountain to Pray

About eight days later Jesus took Peter, John, and James up on a mountain to pray. (Luke 9:28 NLT)

Today's meditation:
  • The world says we are sufficient and need no one. By example, Jesus reveals a different path - one that draws strength from God through the solitude of prayer.
Pray today:
  • For us to overcome the weaknesses of the flesh that would neglect the necessity of calling on God, that would deceive us into thinking we can make it on our own, that would modernize Christian practices to the point of unplugging us from the Source.
  • For the practice of prayer to be constant and central to our lives of faith, for our connection to God to be strengthened through the discipline of prayer, for us to rely on prayer to reveal God's heart and shape our responses.
Pray for the top three needs of Emmanuel College:
  • To hear the Word of the Lord regarding life after debt and our vision for an expanded mission for 2018 and beyond.
  • To enroll more than 1000 students in August 2019.
  • To continue reducing our debt over the next five years with the purpose of becoming debt-free.
Pray for upcoming events and activities:.
  • General chapel services on Tuesdays at 11 a.m. and on Wednesdays at 7 p.m. and School of Christian Ministries chapel services on Thursdays at 11 a.m.
  • Vision 4 Education Celebration sponsored by Women's Ministries, October 5.
  • Board of Trustees Meeting, October 5-6.
  • Homecoming Weekend, October 19-21.
  • Fall Preview recruiting event, November 2-4.
Pray First! Pray Through!
