Just like us!

Thursday - 10/18- Read James 5:13-20

Do you remember people who were examples of prayer for you?

Most people have grandparents, parents, or friends who set the example for them.

Even if you don't, James gives us one--Elijah!

James says he was "just like us." God is the one who said Elijah was "just like us." You may struggle with this because he was such a "big name" in the Old Testament, but God said he was "just like us." Do you believe that?

His prayer is an example of someone who prays and in the end that prayer is "powerful and effective (v. 16)".

Can you set aside time to pray? If you can you are doing the most important and most powerful thing for yourself, your family, your nation, your world and your church.

There was a tremendous response to the sign-up sheet to find out more about a "Prayer Action Team" in the church. I think God is leading us in the right direction as a church about prayer. Pray that God uses this response to honor and glorify His name as we find a way to saturate our church in prayer.

Read Hebrews 11:8 and Genesis 12:1-4 for next Sunday
