We’ve been talking about the “essentials” of discipleship. An “essential” is something absolutely necessary, crucial, indispensable. This Sunday we look at the essential of prayer. Let me share with you a concept that few people grasp. There is a difference between “union” and “communion.” The moment you place your faith in Jesus for salvation, you become spiritually united with Christ. In other words, positionally speaking, you and I are placed into the body of Christ and one with Him. That is mind-boggling. But…just because we have “union” with Jesus, that doesn’t mean we are becoming more like Him in our everyday life. And for many of us, we’ve been off-roading in the area of prayer. Without prayer, there is no “communion” with Jesus. Join us this week as we explore what it looks like to commune with God through prayer.
