OUR THEME FOR WORSHIP SUNDAY
We’ve all heard this advice from friends: “Be careful what you ask [pray] for; you might get it!” You may have heard others also, some based on Scripture verses: “Ask and you will receive…”.

In Sunday’s Epistle lesson, James sure makes it sound simple, that God answers our prayers just like we ask them. Is James telling us that prayer is like a vending machine? Put in the right things and get what you want? If so, why are my coins always getting stuck? Why aren’t my answers given to me?
Together we’ll explore prayer and trust; prayer is the cry of faith, trusting God to act.
