[1545.96 --> 1546.76] somebody mentioning
[1546.76 --> 1547.36] that there is
[1547.36 --> 1547.94] a rumbling,
[1548.42 --> 1549.06] there is a
[1549.06 --> 1550.30] growing desire
[1550.30 --> 1552.30] to pray more
[1552.30 --> 1552.90] within our
[1552.90 --> 1553.24] church.
[1554.02 --> 1554.28] And I've
[1554.28 --> 1555.32] sensed that
[1555.32 --> 1555.58] too.
[1555.96 --> 1556.56] Whenever one of
[1556.56 --> 1557.00] the preachers
[1557.00 --> 1557.70] here come up
[1557.70 --> 1558.38] and they
[1558.38 --> 1559.26] emphasize the
[1559.26 --> 1559.80] importance of
[1559.80 --> 1560.06] prayer,
[1560.98 --> 1561.92] I sense a lot
[1561.92 --> 1562.58] of head nodding
[1562.58 --> 1563.58] and a lot of
[1563.58 --> 1564.40] resonance within
[1564.40 --> 1565.34] our church
[1565.34 --> 1565.76] congregation.
[1566.44 --> 1567.20] We feel this
[1567.20 --> 1568.36] shared desire
[1568.36 --> 1568.88] for prayer.
[1568.88 --> 1568.92] prayer.
[1571.64 --> 1572.42] We need
[1572.42 --> 1573.68] prayer and
[1573.68 --> 1574.12] we need to
[1574.12 --> 1574.80] keep in
[1574.80 --> 1575.28] step,
[1575.62 --> 1576.22] as Paul says
[1576.22 --> 1576.40] it,
[1576.68 --> 1577.40] with God,
[1577.76 --> 1578.26] with His
[1578.26 --> 1578.64] Spirit,
[1578.98 --> 1579.84] through prayer.
[1580.72 --> 1581.40] Be open
[1581.40 --> 1582.52] and ask
[1582.52 --> 1583.14] and welcome
[1583.14 --> 1583.76] the Spirit
[1583.76 --> 1585.22] as He leads
[1585.22 --> 1585.74] us in our
[1585.74 --> 1586.52] lives to
[1586.52 --> 1587.26] become more
[1587.26 --> 1587.58] and more
[1587.58 --> 1588.38] Christ-like
[1588.38 --> 1588.92] in our
[1588.92 --> 1589.28] lives,
[1590.08 --> 1590.48] to be
[1590.48 --> 1591.44] blessed to
[1591.44 --> 1591.68] be a
[1591.68 --> 1592.02] blessing.
[1592.92 --> 1593.42] And so
[1593.42 --> 1594.42] Sid is
[1594.42 --> 1595.10] actually not
[1595.10 --> 1595.52] stealing from
[1595.52 --> 1595.96] my sermon,
[1596.08 --> 1596.42] but he's
[1596.42 --> 1596.88] stealing from
[1596.88 --> 1597.44] my blessing
[1597.44 --> 1597.98] at the end
[1597.98 --> 1598.68] of the
[1598.68 --> 1599.78] service today.
[1599.90 --> 1600.28] And so
[1600.28 --> 1601.28] I want to
[1601.28 --> 1601.68] leave you
[1601.68 --> 1602.04] at the end
[1602.04 --> 1602.62] of my sermon
[1602.62 --> 1603.24] here with
[1603.24 --> 1603.62] a blessing
[1603.62 --> 1605.20] from 2 Thessalonians
[1605.20 --> 1606.06] which I think
[1606.06 --> 1606.86] is so appropriate.
[1607.24 --> 1607.54] And at this
[1607.54 --> 1607.96] time I'm
[1607.96 --> 1608.42] actually going
[1608.42 --> 1609.00] to ask the
[1609.00 --> 1609.46] worship team
[1609.46 --> 1609.98] to come up
[1609.98 --> 1610.66] because this
[1610.66 --> 1610.96] is going
[1610.96 --> 1611.56] to be a
[1611.56 --> 1612.50] closing prayer
[1612.50 --> 1612.98] for us
[1612.98 --> 1613.30] as a
[1613.30 --> 1613.62] blessing.
[1614.72 --> 1615.26] So hear
[1615.26 --> 1615.72] the words
[1615.72 --> 1616.26] from Paul
[1616.26 --> 1617.72] from 2 Thessalonians
[1617.72 --> 1618.96] where he says,
[1619.62 --> 1620.32] we constantly
[1620.32 --> 1621.18] pray for you
[1621.18 --> 1621.78] brothers and
[1621.78 --> 1622.72] sisters of hope
[1622.72 --> 1624.18] that our God
[1624.18 --> 1624.96] may make you
