Prayer That Moves God
January 29, 2023
Hello Kingdom Family,
Welcome to our Jesus-centered community. We are glad you are listening to today’s message. “We are People Helping People Experience a Jesus-centered Life.”
Today we enjoy a special message from Dr. Charles Stanley titled “Prayer That Moves God.” Dr. Stanley’s message fills a week off in our 2023 growth campaign, “40 Days of Prayer.” Pastor Harold is off this week and will continue our “40 Days of Prayer” seven-part message series next week.
In today’s message, Dr. Stanley unpacks Acts 12, shows us what it means to pray fervently, and challenges us to define who we pray to, who God is, and what fervent prayer looks like in action.

Today we return to our message series “Romans: I Am Not Ashamed of the Gospel.” Our Scripture reading is Romans 9:1-5, and today’s message is “The Twisted Perception of Rejection.” We look at how Israel, Jewish Christians, and 21st Christians have had a pattern of assuming God has rejected them, and they, in turn, have rejected God. We review how Jesus was rejected by everyone, including his family, and the promises of God when we desire the Kingdom of God over the world system.
