Back to EpisodesTwenty Prayers for 2024: A Community Call to Action
Description
As 2023 concludes, Pastor Mark delivers a succinct message regarding the Village Church's annual tradition of 20 prayers. He extends a heartfelt invitation to the entire congregation, urging each member to pen 20 prayers for the upcoming year 2024. The allocation is as follows: five prayers dedicated to personal growth, five for family blessings, five for the church community's wellbeing, and five for the neighborhood, city, or the world. Pastor Mark encourages everyone to not only write these prayers but also to commit to praying them consistently throughout the year.
Pastors Eric, Mark, Susan, Daniel, and other Village leaders open the Scriptures as the witness to God’s kingdom breaking into our lives. Scripture gives us more than abstract ideas. It is the Word of God, given to form us, confront us, comfort us, and teach us how to follow Jesus.
Each episode invites us to listen and respond. We are learning to understand the Bible more faithfully; we are also learning how to live as God’s renewed people.
Week by week, our pastors and leaders talk about the practices of Christian discipleship, including prayer, fasting, generosity, Scripture memory, worship, and life together. These practices belong to a whole life formed around Jesus.
The podcast also speaks to ordinary places where faith is lived; our relationships, finances, habits, struggles, joys, and decisions. The gospel speaks to what we believe. It also teaches us how to live in the present age as people who belong to the kingdom of God.
