Pastor Weekly - 3/4/26
Hello ICC Family!
When it comes to prayer, we are incredibly blessed by the fact that we pray to a God that knows us, loves us, and wants the best for us. This means that we can pray honestly, emotionally, and persistently without the Lord getting tired of us. We can pray sometimes without having any idea of what we are actually asking God to do, and the Lord still understands. We can pray entirely unaware of the consequences that would come about if He gave us what we were asking for, and He will still answer in a way that will be a blessing to us. These truths led Tim Keller to come to an encouraging conclusion in his book on prayer: “God will either give us what we ask or give us what we would have asked if we knew everything he knows.” That is such an incredibly helpful observation! Basically… when we pray, God will either give us what we ask, or He will give us something even better!
Let us then with confidence draw near to the throne of grace, that we may receive mercy and find grace to help in time of need.
Hebrews 4:16 (ESV)
We will gather this evening for a special prayer time focused on the current conflict in the Middle East and Iran. Please come and join us because as Keller also says, “To pray is to accept that we are, and always will be, wholly dependent on God for everything.” We need his guidance, his peace, his direction, his wisdom, and his provision in this situation, and every other one in our lives! Let’s confess that and pray together tonight!
Next Wednesday night we will be starting a new discipleship series called “The Marriage Course.” This is a great opportunity to either learn for the first time or be reminded of things concerning one of the most important relationships we can have on earth. I know it will be a blessing whether you are currently married, have been married in the past, or maybe are just looking forward to it. Whether you think your marriage is doing well or needs a lot of help, you don’t want to miss it!
Blessings to you all!
And know that I am praying for you!
