Monday Matters, 04/21/08

April 21, 2008 1:37 pm

In case you missed it yesterday, Merritt Anderson is a new friend from CLC. He preached yesterday a message called “Ask for More” from Ephesians 3:14-21, helping us understand that “praying God’s way returns God’s results.” These verses answer three questions:

  1. Who do we pray to?
  2. What do we pray for?
  3. What will be the result?

I really enjoyed Merritt’s story-telling ability, but more than that, I was inspired to pray more and to ask for more. I particularly liked how Merritt showed us specific things to pray for in verses 16-19: that 1) we would be strengthened with more power, 2) be rooted & grounded in God’s love, 3) that we would know more of God’s love and 4) be filled with the fullness of God.

How do you think this message will help you pray?

All four of those prayer points were very helpful, but the first one about praying for strength and power really stood out. Overall, Merritt Anderson did a great job of preaching from the text and making it easy to remember with multiple illustrations.
