On Mondays, the targets from the corporate prayer gathering on Saturday at 9a will be posted here. Here are this past weekend’s targets:

—–

“Let Your Kingdom Come”

“Pray then like this: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name. Your kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as it is in heaven” (Matthew 6.9-10).

Kingdom of God: Men rising up and standing strong

-Specifically, for an enduring work of the Spirit among our men
-That general absence of male leadership in Church at large would turn around
-That our young men (even boys) would be invested with spiritual truth and deep experiences of God so that they become pillars in the church
-That the things that pull men away from their calling – laziness, apathy, sports, lust, toys, jobs – would not dull the edge of radical Kingdom living and exemplary leadership among singles and in families

Kingdom of God: Servant-mindedness and humility

-That the church would be marked by humility and Servanthood
…As we lay our lives down for each other
…As we look for opportunities for mutual strengthening
…As we look for ways to use the gifts God has given us
-Against selfishness and individualism
-Against self-righteousness and spiritual competitiveness
-That we would see God’s glory and experience the kind of humility that is not parroted or pretended but is genuinely self-forgetting and Godward-focused
-That leadership would be marked by genuine humility – that God would take the church into deeper experiences of the blessedness of “possessing nothing”

Kingdom of God: Extending the Kingdom tent-posts outward

-The Alpha Course – God, save! Spirit, fill!
-Strength from the Spirit to adequately care for those with whom we have connected through Operation Replant
-The Pivot ministry – Lord, grant us a presence on our city’s campuses!
-Church as a whole to fulfill the call to be “fishers of men”
