This week David Jackson completes his four week series called “Secrets of a Spirit-Led Church. Secret #4, which we will study this week is “Passionate Prayer,” and is based on James 5:13-18 and other texts. The worship theme is “Lord, Teach Me to Pray,” and the visual theme is people praying together.

Scripture for Meditation:
James 5.13-18 Is any among you afflicted? Let him pray. Is any merry? Let him sing psalms. Is any sick among you? Let him call for the elders of the church; and let them pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith shall save the sick, and the Lord shall raise him up. And if he has committed sins, they shall be forgiven him. Confess your faults one to another, and pray for one another that you may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man avails much. Elijah was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain; and it did not rain on the earth for three years and six months. And he prayed again and the heaven gave rain and the earth brought forth her fruit.
