"Multiply Your Prayers"

In the latest sermon, Pastor Pencil discusses the theme of "Multiply" as part of a series initiated by Pastor Gary, focusing on the idea of being part of something greater than oneself through the multiplication of prayers and disciples. Drawing inspiration from the biblical principle of multiplication, exemplified by the growth potential of a single kernel of corn, Pastor Pencil emphasizes that prayer is not merely preparatory but is indeed the core work that propels the process of spiritual multiplication. Using passages from Colossians and the narrative of the Apostle Paul's ministry, he highlights the significance of prayer in cultivating faith and community, particularly pointing out the role of the faithful minister Epaphras, whose dedicated prayers led to the growth of churches in the Colossian region.The sermon goes on to explore the characteristics and importance of a multiplication prayer life, underscoring key aspects such as praying constantly, fervently, personally, specifically, and sacrificially. Pastor Pencil encourages the congregation to view prayer as a proactive way to invoke God’s guidance and blessings, not just for their own lives, but also for their communities as they seek to share the message of salvation. He concludes the sermon with a heartfelt invitation to embrace a lifestyle of prayer and discipleship, encouraging everyone to take actionable steps towards developing their multiplication prayer life in alignment with God’s will. Ultimately, Pastor Pencil drives home the message that effective prayer leads to sending and commissioning others for the work of the Gospel, urging the congregation to actively participate in this divine mission.
