God Honors Powerful Prayer

Guest Speaker Nathan Bumgarner focused his message on the theme of powerful prayer, using Jabez's story from 1 Chronicles 4:9-10 as a foundation. He emphasized four key aspects of Jabez’s prayer: a request for blessing, an enlargement of influence, an assurance of God’s presence, and a plea for protection. Nathan highlighted the importance of seeking God’s blessings not merely for personal benefit but to serve as conduits for His work, thereby expanding God’s influence for His glory. He underscored the necessity of relying on God’s presence, especially as influence grows, to guide and empower efforts to impact communities and share the gospel effectively.
