The Calling Church

Important notes and scriptures about prayer.🙏

Learning to Pray is so important in the life of a believer. Often times we make it harder than it really is. Prayer is talking with God from our heart. It’s not about perfection or performance, but about conversation and a relationship with him.

When we’re in relationship with someone. We must spend time with them to get to know them deeper, to get to know how they feel about us, to understand their ways and their character. It’s the same with God. We need to spend daily time with him, to be able to get to know him, and in that our relationship develops, grows and strengthens. Prayer is about relationship.

Listen to Sunday’s Message: Learning to Pray on our YouTube Channel and Podcast.

In 2 weeks, we will be taking dedicated time in the service to pray over the new school year. If you are a teacher, faculty, a student, or have kids going into the new school year, we want to pray over you.

We encourage you to invite and bring anyone who is starting this new school year to receive prayer.

“For all of God’s promises have been fulfilled in Christ with a resounding ‘Yes!’” - 2 Corinthians 1:20

Which promise are you holding onto in this season?

Even though we may not see it yet, God is always working behind the scenes on our behalf - for the good of those who love him. We have faith, because He is faithful. 🙌

WE LOVE SUNDAYS! 🙌🏼

We must always realize that church is the family of God reborn of the Holy Spirit into a beautiful kingdom. Regardless of our background, ethnicity, or age, when we believe in Christ, we become the family of God. 😇

Happy Sunday Church! ☀️

Being led by the Holy Spirit ensures we walk in truth and avoid the pitfalls of deception. The Spirit acts as our divine compass, guiding our steps and decisions toward God’s will.

Sundays together 🫶

Burnout is ultimately a sign of spiritual and emotional hunger and thirst. Burnout means that we are parched, empty, dry and in desperate need of refreshment and rest.

There is no better place to be refreshed than to come to Christ with an open heart. He is the fountain that always satisfies and never runs dry.

There will be seasons and experiences when we feel burnout and there is no better person to come to than Jesus. He will refresh you.

Beating Burnout Message Series has been impactful for our souls. This Sunday will be our final week of the series. Watch parts 1, 2, and 3 on our YouTube Channel to learn more on how to beat burnout.

GOOD MORNING ☀️

We cannot spell church with “U.” Can’t wait to see you Calling family! Let’s expect God to move in our hearts in fresh and powerful way this morning!

“This is the day that the Lord has made we Will rejoice and be glad in it!”

Let this be the model of our relationships in our family, with our friends and in the work place. Let’s truly love the way this verse outlines love.

Notes from this past Sunday Sermon: 📝

A Father is like a Shepherd, he tends, leads, and cares for and protects his family. His family is his flock, and leads his lambs to pasture, to be refreshed and restored. He goes after the one that gets away and carries them on his shoulder if he has to.

Fathers we bless you! Thank you for all you do, and who you are!

DADS, you deserve to be celebrated! We have a special day at church for you as we honor fatherhood! 💪

What to look forward to:

PRAYER 🙏🏼

Prayer is no small thing, it is everything! It is the vehicle in which we commune with God, talking with him, sharing our deepest needs, and longings of the heart. And the beauty of it is, that our Father listens so intently. Not just to our words, but to our hearts. There is nothing that we say to him that isn’t too small or meaningless. You were always made to be in relationship with your Heavenly Father, and that relationship is built significantly, through the power of prayer.

Note: prayer is not a monologue, it is a dialogue…while in the space of silence. Take time to listen, and you will hear a voice behind your ears, say, “this is the way, walk in it.”

Talk to the One who loves you, gets you, cherishes you…died for you, he is waiting…for you 🙏🏼✝️

Excited to be in church today! 🙌 See you at 11am! 🫶

WHY DOES THE BIBLE COMMAND US TO PRAISE THE LORD?

message notes 📝:

1. We were created to, and is way too Good to remain silent.
2. (Bonus note) complaining does not look good on you and will not do much for you!
3. Praise invites The Holy Spirit to invade our circumstances.
4. Praise silences our enemy and makes him cease activity.

“Let everything that has breath, praise the Lord!”
