In a time of national turmoil and spiritual decline, the call to prayer is more urgent than ever. Drawing from 2 Chronicles 7:14, this message emphasizes the need for America to return to God through humility, prayer, and repentance. The nation requires not just healing but a resurrection of righteousness, the Holy Spirit, and the gospel message. Historical examples like the first prayer of the Continental Congress and Benjamin Franklin's call for daily prayer during the Constitutional Convention highlight America's reliance on God in times of crisis. The message delves into the power of prayer, encouraging backsliders, believers, and the broken to seek God fervently. Through stories of redemption and dedication, it underscores that no matter how far one has strayed or how broken one feels, God is always ready to welcome a repentant heart. Practical steps like setting aside daily prayer time, joining prayer groups, and fasting are recommended to deepen one's prayer life and seek God's intervention.

The Unknown Soldier

November 10, 2024 • Pastor Chris Rumfelt • 2 Timothy 2:3

In this powerful message based on Second Timothy 2:3, believers are called to endure hardships as good soldiers of Jesus Christ. Drawing parallels to the sacrifices of unknown soldiers, this message emphasizes the resilience and dedication required to follow Christ. Reflecting on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier, we are reminded of the countless sacrifices made by those who served without recognition, paralleling the quiet, faithful service of many Christians. The Bible, despite being under attack, remains a living testament to God's enduring truth, providing strength and guidance. Christians are called to face fears with faith, share the gospel, and equip themselves for spiritual battles. The Great Commission in Matthew 28:19-20 commands us to spread the gospel, a task for every believer. Prayer is vital, as it connects us with God and provides strength. Teaching the next generation about God's Word ensures they are prepared for spiritual battles. By enduring hardships, sharing the gospel, and equipping ourselves, we honor the unknown soldiers of faith and fulfill our mission as good soldiers of Christ.
