Dear friends at CBC,

“If my people, who are called by My Name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then will I hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and will heal their land. Now my eyes will be open and my ears attentive to the prayers offered in this place” – 2 Chronicles 7:14, 15.
What an excellent invitation for us to come together and pray! This promise is given to Solomon after the dedication of the temple and emphasizes God’s faithfulness – what He will do – when his people come to pray in the temple. The same God waits for us this weekend. I hope to see you! I would encourage everyone to be there for the entire time as much as possible, but if your schedule is busy, please join us for part of it. You are encouraged to fast on Friday. I’m encouraged by those that have already begun to fast. This Sunday’s message will build on our weekend together. Can’t wait to see what God will do. Look forward to it!
