Vision Series 2022: A House of Prayer for all Nations

 

Series Overview

This Fall, we will be looking ahead to where we believe the Spirit is taking us as a church family as we long to see Jesus’ Kingdom come in Portland as it is in Heaven. In Scripture we see a “a house of prayer for all nations” mirror imaged in both the Old and New Testament, painting a biblical picture of the Church’s identity. Over the next 11 weeks, we will look at what it means for Bridgetown Church to become a House of Prayer For All Nations.

  • The Midday Prayer Rhythm, praying for the lost, is setting aside a few minutes in the middle of your day to pause and lift up to God those in your life who don’t know Jesus, asking him to encounter them in a new way that might bring their salvation. More than that, we want to participate with God in these stories, so we also ask him to send us out to become the answers to our prayers.

  • During the Jewish Passover, Israel would sing a song of gratitude for God’s deliverance in the Exodus called Dayenu. Traditionally, Dayenu means, “it would have been enough.” A more modern translation might sound like, “Thank you God for overdoing it.” Dayenu serves as a historic prompt for giving thanks to God at the close of the day.

  • As we become more like Jesus, we begin to see God’s presence in our city – especially in places and spaces that we considered too dark or broken. We begin to become our prayers.

  • To make sure we’re not going in circles, every Fall, during the Vision Series, each Bridgetown Community sets aside intentional time to return to the Commitments and to have a conversation about what’s going well and where we can improve.
