It isn’t too late to participate in the prayer walk scheduled for this Saturday, August 8th! We would love for as many people as possible to join us. Our plan is to simply walk the neighborhood around Cambridge as we pray for the people and pray that God’s kingdom would grow in that area.
It is sometimes hard to believe that God works through the prayers of his people. We long to see an instant impact, and want to see God work with fireworks and miracles. He does do this sometimes, but God usually moves more subtly and quietly than we expect. As Jesus said, the kingdom of God is like leaven, slowly and silently transforming the places where it has been established. That short parable sheds light on the Lord’s Prayer, where we are taught to pray, “Thy kingdom come.” The parable and the Lord’s Prayer together reveal that we are to be praying actively that God would send his kingdom, yet we should expect it to transform our world like leaven, not gunpowder. Come join us in praying “Thy kingdom come” in neighborhood where we worship!
