Day of Prayer - September 24
On Thursday, September 24 from 6am–6pm, we’re setting aside a day to devote ourselves to prayer—not as something secondary, but as an essential practice and gift God has given His people. Come spend time moving through interactive prayer stations, praying through Scripture, and lifting up the needs of our church and people who need to know Jesus. Then, at 6pm, everyone is invited to gather together for a time of worship and praise as we close out the Day of Prayer.
This Week's Message
"All In"
Jason Fischer
| John 12:1-11
What does it truly mean to go all in for Jesus?
In John 12, we find Jesus at a dinner just days before the cross. In an extraordinary act of worship, Mary takes costly perfume worth nearly a year’s wages and pours it out on Jesus. She holds nothing back.
Her extravagant devotion stands in sharp contrast to Judas, whose seemingly practical concerns reveal something very different happening in his heart. Their responses invite us to examine our own: Are we willing to surrender what is precious to us, or do we still want to follow Jesus while holding onto control?
But before this passage asks us what we're willing to give Jesus, it points us toward what Jesus was willing to give for us. The cross was drawing near, and Jesus was about to demonstrate the ultimate act of sacrificial love. He held nothing back.
When we understand that kind of love, wholehearted devotion isn't about earning something from Jesus. It's our response to the One who has already given everything for us.
