Spiritual Renewal Emphasis, January, 2009

Theme: "BACK TO THE BASICS" Joe Montana was one of the speakers at the recent "Get Motivated" event in Tulsa. He spoke of the importance of preparation and mastering the fundamentals if one was going to have a winning team. He said whenever his football teams went through a tough time, once again the coaches would focus on the fundamentals. The church is certainly facing challenges from within and outside the church. We need to return to a focus on the fundamentals, the basics of intimacy with Christ.

A Devotional Guide: Devotional booklets have been distributed to each church to give to every family. Our evangelist, Nathan Covington, wrote most of the daily lessons, so this guide will help you connect with him and get a glimpse into his heart.

Zone Cluster Prayer Meetings: Let’s bombard heaven on behalf of spiritual renewal, in the firm belief that “the effectual, fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much.” Evangelist Nathan Covington will join us at the first four of these prayer times, sharing and leading our time of corporate prayer.
