Philippians Conclusion, Virtual Prayer Rally (Pastoral Emphasis for 11/14)

Today, we concluded our Unchained Joy series in Philippians.  This letter has taught us that joy and spiritual maturity are gained by prayer and a proper spiritual outlook.  It has taught us that Christians need to keep making progress in their lives.  We must strain forward and press on in our sanctification.  It has taught us that suffering will come but through faith in Jesus Christ, it can be met with joy.  This is a joy that the world did not give and the world cannot take away! This is a joy that is not bound by our circumstances...unchained joy!



Our next Virtual Prayer Rally will be this Tuesday at 7:00 pm.  I want to encourage everyone to join us for an hour of corporate prayer. Here are six benefits of corporate prayer:
  1. Corporate prayer unifies the Body of Christ 
  2. Corporate prayer edifies and encourages those who participate 
  3. Corporate prayer disciples believers in prayer 
  4. Corporate prayer strengthens weakened faith 
  5. Corporate prayer can facilitate corporate repentance 
  6. Corporate prayer creates a sense of expectancy 
If you cannot attend, please submit your prayer request online on our Prayer Request Form.

So in order to remove any barriers that might prevent some from visiting us or feeling comfortable in our service, the leadership will dress a little more casual. We will try this out until the end of the year and then evaluate. So don't be surprised when you see me not wearing a tie! I shared the following email that we got via our website to show that we are spreading the Gospel worldwide. To God be the glory! Greetings Mt. Zion Church Family...Today is July 27, 2009 and I would like to share the blessing that I have received from your church. I was talking to my very dear sister, soror, friend Sis Brandi Hancock and she and I were having a heart to heart. I told her that I was
