Listening to Our Lord Jesus in Prayer | Living Out My Purpose

There's no point in learning about God if you're not going to put what you learn into action. Faith in Jesus isn't a school project where you learn facts, take a test, and get a grade. Faith is action. Faith is personal. Faith is obedience to God's commands to (1) love God with all your heart, soul, mind, and strength, and to (2) love your neighbor as yourself!

Angela and Pastor Daniel discuss racial biases and tensions, and also what #saymyname means. As a church, we must live out our faith in a broken world in a way that acknowledges the brokenness AND leads people to trust in the promises of God that say reconciliation is on its way.

Pastor Daniel encourages us to take 10 minutes each day this week to be silent with God... to be alone with him and let him be the sole focus of our attention. With so many voices speaking in the world, it is imperative for the followers of Jesus to designate the voice of God as the primary one we are listening to. Prayer is not confined to us talking to God, but God reveals himself to us through prayer, Scripture, and the Spirit of God.
