Church family,
This past Sunday, as we concluded our series in James, we were sent out with a strong exhortation; God’s people must pray. If we are suffering then we are to pray. If we are rejoicing then we are to pray. If we are sick then we are to pray and have others pray over us. Much of the passage focused on regular and intentional prayer for one another. In light of that clear command, it seems worth taking just a second to encourage you to join our life groups if you haven’t already. These groups have already proven to be a powerful way to get to know each other so we may know how to pray for each other, not to mention the time it allows us to spend praying together. If you found this passage convicting and want to put it into practice, joining a life group would be a great place to start.
New Sermon Series
As we have just a few weeks before advent, we are going to take that time to do a brief topical sermon series on what it means to be a disciple and what it means to make disciples. Light in the Desert Church exists to glorify God by making disciples who love God supremely, love others sacrificially, and share hope through the gospel of Jesus Christ to all peoples. If we are to fulfill that mission then we must understand what discipleship really is, so please join us over the next few Sundays as we explore this topic.
Grace be with you,
Logan Murphy
Pastoral Intern
