Kingdom Sized Prayers
PPC has entered a wonderful season of ministry, mission and life together. But we know that apart from the grace of God, the Lordship of Christ, and the power of the Holy Spirit, we cannot be the people God desires us to be. So we too gathered in faith to ask God to bring his Kingdom more fully into our lives.

At the heart of our prayers is the absolute conviction that for God’s Kingdom to come and God’s will to be done – here, and now – we needed to genuinely and whole-heartedly seek the power and presence of God.

“For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God.”  Ephesians 3:14-19 NRSV

Ask that God give direction and power to our church as we seek to fulfill PPC’s mission, vision and core values. Pray specifically for:
