Series Description: The spiritual
journey is long, and its not unusual for the passion and fire
we possess at the start to wane over the long haul. That’s why prayer
is so vital. Prayer IGNITES our spiritual lives, reinvigorates our passion, and
reconnects us with God. Join our Senior Pastor, Dr. Lance Watson as he leads us on
this six week journey to IGNITE our spiritual lives through the discipline of prayer.

FINANCIAL DECLARATION OF FAITH:
One Voice: I am a blood washed, blood bought and
blood redeemed believer in Jesus Christ and I am fully
committed to worshiping God in Spirit and in Truth! I am
a saved, sanctified, justified, Holy Ghost filled and fire
baptized saint of the most High God and I am committed
to praising You for all that You have done, are doing and
shall do in and through my life!
Many Voices: We worship You, O God “Because of Who
You are!” You are God Almighty and besides You, there is
no other! We praise You O Lord, because of Your marvelous
and gracious acts unto the children of men, and I will
magnify, praise and honor Your Glorious and Matchless
Name forever and forever more!
One Voice: I am committed to delighting myself in You,
walking in the Spirit, talking in the Spirit, singing in the
Spirit and living in the Spirit. I thank You O Lord for the
power of Your Holy Spirit, my Comforter, my Teacher, my
Leader, my Guide, my Counselor, my Friend, my Prayer
Warrior, my personal Intercessor and the One who helps
me to daily lift, honor and exalt the name of Jesus in all
that I do and say.
Many Voices: We are committed to God’s vision, mission
and purpose for this house: we are a church for people
on the grow, touching the world with love, communicating
the positive power of Christ to our generation. We thank
God for the opportunity to celebrate God’s goodness in
worship, connect with each other in groups, cultivate
our spiritual growth, care for each other and the world,
and contribute our money and our minutes to expand the
kingdom of God.
One Voice:I realize that fulfilling the great commission,
and the great commandment are costly ventures, but I
will not give to God that which costs me nothing. I bring
my tithe and my offering to this storehouse, from which I
receive my spiritual food, and I stand on the promise that
the windows of heaven are open to me now, I am receiving
a blessing I will not have room enough to receive.
Many Voices: We give cheerfully in love and joy! We give
extravagantly because God has already been good to us!
We give expectantly knowing that Jesus taught us to “give
and it shall be given to us, pressed down, shaken together,
and running over.” At the name of Jesus, every knee must
bow, and every tongue must confess that Jesus is Lord,
to the glory of God the Father. We confess and we will
possess all that God has for us. We are blessed and we
will be a blessing. Alleluia! It is so! Even now! Amen.
