Thursday Prayer Night | 01-08-2026 | Pastor Joe |

Sermon Summary: This prayer service emphasizes the critical importance of corporate intercession and maintaining an eternal perspective amid temporal struggles. The service calls believers to be still and know God's sovereignty while actively engaging in spiritual warfare through prayer. Central themes include praying for leadership, lifting up nations in crisis (particularly Iran and Israel), interceding for marriages and families, and trusting God's healing power. The gathering reinforces that prayer is not merely religious activity but a powerful weapon against darkness, reminding participants that righteousness exalts a nation and that believers must be salt and light in a decaying world. The service emphasizes salvation as the ultimate priority, even above physical healing, and calls for an eternal perspective that recognizes these temporal bodies are merely tents housing eternal souls.
