This is the story of a collection of people who follow Jesus. We live in Littleton. We encounter people in the name of Jesus, we allow Jesus to turn us into disciples, we gather often, and we equip people to love and serve other people better.

Thirty Days of Prayer for The EDGE Colorado, Day 10

Day 10

Hello prayer team.

We are a third of the way through this prayer adventure.

Today I want us to turn our attention to two passages from the gospels.

John 3:17
“For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him.”- 

and

Luke 4:17-19 
17The scroll of the prophet Isaiah was handed to him. Unrolling it, he found the place where it is written:
 18"The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
      because he has anointed me
      to preach good news to the poor.
   He has sent me to proclaim freedom for the prisoners
      and recovery of sight for the blind,
   to release the oppressed,
    19to proclaim the year of the Lord's favor."

This is the gospel -- that Jesus came to rescue us.  To save us.  To bring freedom, and sight.   

Will you pray with me that our neighbors hear this good news?  We want to bring the freedom of the gospel.  

The freedom that God brings allows us to live lives of purpose and meaning.  
That allows us to have true intimacy with God
That removes the barriers between us, and results in real relationships.  

Action items
1) Pray that we would be beacons of hope in our community
2) Pray that our message would be clear.

Thanks,


Mark
