Day 11 on 21 Days of Prayer

21 days of prayer

Video Transcript

Welcome , everyone to day 11 of 21 days of prayer. Today we are praying for anyone who has recently made a decision to follow Jesus Christ or has been baptised. Also for people who are hearing the good news of Jesus week by week.

God created the world and everything in it. People messed up that good creation, so Jesus came to begin restoring the world to the way God had always intended it to operate.

But God did not begin his work with Jesus. He has been at work throughout history. A couple of thousand years before Jesus came to earth, God picked a group of people who eventually came to be known as the Jews to be in relationship with Him. He gave them laws and sent them prophets, all of which pointed to the coming of Jesus.

Jesus himself was a Jew, as were his first followers. The historical and theological roots of the Christian faith are so firmly planted in Judaism that when non-Jewish people began following Jesus, it was unclear whether they needed to follow the laws God had given to the Jewish people. Here, the leaders of the early Church declared that Jesus moved the goal posts and having a relationship with God no longer required adherence to those laws; the grace Jesus unleashed was–and always will be–enough.

Please pray today for our Young People’s work in Fire, Lighthouse, The Well and Soul groups
