How do I make sense of a world that's so messed up? Why did God allow evil to enter His world? What is God's purpose through my life today? I s my Christian life a constant struggle toward unreachable goals designed to frustrate me? This seminar will uncover God's purposes throughout all of history and through each one of our lives. Discover how God has provided what I need when the uphill road of life is the steepest. In this seminar Dr. Wecks uses the Bible to tackle huge questions.

April 2-4; 6am-9am, 6pm-9pm
I want to be blessed by God, don’t you? I want God to use our church so that people will come to Christ and our church will grow, don’t you? I want my “Seven for Heaven” people to get saved (one of them has!), don’t you? I want both of our Easter services this year to be packed out and lots of people get saved, don’t you? In order for this to happen we need to pray together!
For three days, April 2-4, from 6am to 9am and then from 6pm to 9pm, I am asking you to join me as we pray and ask God to lead and bless us as a church. Our focus for this season of prayer is our Easter services; personal and church preparation, invitation and celebration, the reaching of lost people and follow up.
But, let me caution you; as soon as you think about signing up to join us to pray together, there will be other “voices” speaking to you to say that you can’t. You might hear one of more of the following,
- “You can pray from home, you don’t have to go to church to do it.”
- “These times are inconvenient.”
- “You’re tired and hungry after work, go home and chill.”
- “It’s spring break, just relax and take it easy.”
- “Others will be praying, you don’t need to come.”
- “Does it really matter whether you pray or not?”
- “I’m too…busy, tired, lazy, stressed,…to come and pray.”
So, why should we take the time to pray together? Here are a few reasons:
- The more praying that a church does the more people in the church will “know God”, and the greater the sense of His Presence will be in their lives, especially as they gather corporately. Acts 4:31; Matthew 18:20
- The more praying that is done by a church the more joy, confidence, security, faith and peace they will experience. Psalm 16:11; Philippians 4:6,7
- The more praying that is done by a church the more God will work through the preaching of the pastor. He will become a powerful preacher (you do want me to be a powerful preacher, don’t you?) Acts 4:33, 2:1,14,40-41; II Thessalonians 3:1
- The more praying that is done by a church the more the people will grow spiritually. Acts 4:31; Ephesians 3:14-16
- The more praying that is done by a church the more boldness, courage and passion the people will have to reach their lost friends, neighbors and relatives for Christ. Acts 4:31; Ephesians 6:19
See you there,
