Ep 150: God With Us In A Broken World
Manage episode 522829586 series 3434362
"Today, we get urgent updates from Haiti along with requests for prayer leading into this Christmas season: How does Emmanuel’s promise of “God with us” shape the way we pray amid real-world fear and crisis?"
We rally prayer for Haiti’s spiraling crisis, name missionaries on the ground, and intercede together. We trace Emmanuel through Matthew, unpack Jesus’ “I am” claim in John 8, and find grace in the messy genealogy that leads to Christmas hope and courageous mission.
• updates from Haiti’s lawlessness and risk to missionaries
• corporate prayer for protection, boldness and deliverance
• praying for persecutors as an offensive act of faith
• Emmanuel as Matthew’s opening and closing promise
• “Before Abraham was, I am” and Jesus’ deity
• genealogy of Jesus and grace through broken stories
• Joseph’s royal line and the kingly claim to David’s throne
• call to ongoing intercession during the Christmas season
Shoot us a text or an email if you’ve answered the call to lift up our brothers and sisters and their persecutors!
