Our speaker this week will First Church Pastor, Ron Wyrick. In October of 2009, Ron celebrated six years as pastor at First Church.
Devotion Title: "Why I Pray Even Though God Already Knows What I Need?"
. to learn to listen (Psalm 62:1-2)
· to know God (Ps. 62:8)
· to get outside my own skin (fears, selfishness, anger, pride, greed)
· to truly care for another
"Bruce Almighty" starring Jim Carry was the best movie about prayer that I ever saw. At first Bruce satisfies his every whim, everything from getting through traffic jams to satisfying lust. Gradually he learns why God wants us to pray. Finally he shows viewers what real prayer is like when he puts the needs of his girlfriend above his own.
