Adding To The Number Series

ILLUSTRATION… Watchman Nee on Prayer

Watchman Nee wrote, "Our prayers lay the track on which God's power can come. Like a mighty locomotive, His power is irresistible, but it cannot reach us without rails."

Great things happen when God’s people pray!

THREAD: The purpose of Cincinnati Christian Church is to “Help People Find and Follow Jesus.”

We are going to do that by being devoted to prayer and seeing the power of God change people’s lives.

CONCLUSION

Our church family is one that will have a firm foundation that lasts. Our firm foundation is based upon the practice of the early church and what they made priorities.

At CCC we are devoted to the Word of God.

At CCC we are devoted to God and each other through Worship, Spiritual Disciplines, Discipleship, Fellowship, Service, and Evangelism.

At CCC, we are people of prayer.

INVITATION

I’d like to share a little bit with those of us this morning that may not believe in Jesus as Lord and Savior.

RE-READ Acts 2:42-47

42 They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the fellowship, to the breaking of bread and to prayer.

Why? Because Jesus Christ changed their lives.

43 Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles.

How did they do that? Through faith and the power of Jesus Christ.

44 All the believers were together and had everything in common. 45 Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need.

Why did they do that? Because they had found fulfillment in Jesus Christ.

46 Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts,

Why? Because Jesus Christ saved them from guilt and death.

47 praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved.

Do you need to be added to the number of those who have confessed Him as Lord?
