Do you feel weak these days? Do you doubt God’s love? Are you missing life & power in your day-to-day experiences? The Apostle Paul guides us through a prayer that he prayed for a group of people in the 1st century who were most likely experiencing these very things. Listen to what he prayed for them. It’s a prayer that we should regularly pray today.

They pray for boldness! This message examines what leads to one of the most inspiring prayers in the Bible, found in Acts chapter 4, and a recipe for boldness!

Actively Living Out His Will

August 13, 2023 • Jordan Bochinski • Matthew 26:38–46

Do you ever wonder what God’s plan and purpose is for your life? This week we’ll break down Jesus’ prayer in the Garden of Gethsemane and how despite the agonizing anticipation of carrying the cross, he still asked for God’s will to be done in his life. Jesus warned us that faithfully following God’s will isn’t easy... But when our prayer lives become dependent on the Holy Spirit to strengthen us, we begin to more accurately and passionately follow His will.
