July 27, 2025 | "Dare to Pray"

Welcome this week's sermon from Johnston Chapel United Methodist Church near Summit, Mississippi.

Title: "Dare to Pray"
Scripture: Luke 11:1-13
Preacher: Rev. Jonathan Tullos

In this this week's message, we're challenged to reconsider the depth of our prayer life. Focusing on Luke 11:1-13, we explore Jesus' teachings on prayer, including the Lord's Prayer. The central theme revolves around what might happen if we truly meant the words 'Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done.' This isn't just about reciting words, but about surrendering our lives and opening ourselves to be used by God. We're reminded that prayer isn't just asking for things, but listening and being prepared to be the answer to others' prayers. The story of John Wesley's Aldersgate experience beautifully illustrates how a genuine encounter with God can transform our hearts, leading us to pray even for those who have wronged us. This message invites us to examine our own prayer life and consider how we might become more passionate about bringing God's kingdom to earth.
