Prayer Mobilization
THE HALF MILLION MOBILIZATION resources website
We begin to usher in a new day in the USA/Canada Region in the Church of the Nazarene. We do this not in our own strength, but in the strength of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Do we believe God can change the trajectory of our declining churches?
Do we believe God will raise up leaders to start new churches?
Do we believe God has a place in our current culture for the Nazarene holiness message?
Of course, the answer is yes. Perhaps there has never been a better time in the USA/Canada Region for the work of God’s church to breakthrough. Let us join together in a time of prayer for renewal in our ministry and our churches. Let us pray for a resurgence in the Nazarene message of hope and holiness.
God does nothing but by prayer, and everything with it. —John Wesley
TODAY’s MESSAGE
SERIES: Emotionally Healthy Discipleship
MESSAGE: 2 Uniquely You
ONE. SHED THE
SELF TO DISCOVER THE NEW SELF
You were taught, with regard to your former way of life, to put off your old self, which is being corrupted by its deceitful desires; to be made new in the attitude of your minds; and to put on the new self, created to be like God in true righteousness and holiness. —Ephesians 4.22-24
Then Paul, knowing that some of them were Sadducees and the others Pharisees, called out in the Sanhedrin, “My brothers, I am a Pharisee, descended from Pharisees. I stand on trial because of the hope of the resurrection of the dead.” —Acts 23:6
Meanwhile, Saul was still breathing out murderous threats against the Lord’s disciples. He went to the high priest —Acts 9:1
He fell to the ground and heard a voice say to him, “Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?” —Acts 9:4
and saw the Lord speaking to me. ‘Quick!’ he said. ‘Leave Jerusalem immediately, because the people here will not accept your testimony about me.’ —Acts 22:18
