As we wrap up a message and small group series entitled "Dangerous Prayers," we dare others to pray the exciting, bold prayer of the Prophet Isaiah:
“Here I am. Send me.” Isaiah_6:8nlt

Are you willing to be sent to serve across the hall, the street, the region, or the world?

... taking, as Jesus did this sinful world as it is, not as I would have it; trusting that You will make all things right if I surrender to Your will; so that I may be reasonably happy in this life and supremely happy with You forever in the next. Amen." ~Reinhold Niebuhr

Serenity Prayer (Full Version): "God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference. Living one day at a time, enjoying one moment at a time; accepting hardship as a pathway to peace...

The following words (from Psalm 82) serve as both a reminder to pray and help the oppressed:

Remember...
"Let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching." Hebrews_10:24-25niv

[Southwest Church @SWC_Ohio]

A major aspect of following Jesus is living out the "one another" teachings of the Bible. These teachings include: encourage, challenge, love, teach, and carry each other's burdens. A very practical way to put these teachings in practice is to participate in a weekly small group!

[Southwest Church @SWC_Ohio]

In drawing near to God, we find peace, confidence and assurance!
"Let us draw near to God with a sincere heart and with the full assurance that faith brings, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water." Heb10:22

[Southwest Church @SWC_Ohio]

Remember to place your security in Jesus' perfect sacrifice instead of your imperfect obedience to God!
"For by one sacrifice he has made perfect forever those who are being made holy." Hebrews_10:14niv

We are thankful for God enabling us to purchase land for our partner church in El Salvador. We are grateful for the container arriving which will become a part of a future church building.

It takes great courage to pray the prayers recorded in the Bible. Are you willing to pray dangerous prayers?
