Join us at our Logan Church as we commence our new series titled, “The Champion Generation”. This week Pastor Henry explores how God responds to honest, unpolished prayer. Rather than focusing on external performance, titles, or positions of authority, God looks directly at the posture of our hearts. We can step away from self-reliance and pour out our rawest struggles, anxieties, and unscripted prayers directly to God. When God “remembers” you, He moves into action on His promises; even if an answer seems delayed, trust that you are not forgotten, leave your burdens with Him, and walk forward in peace.
Moreover, before the fat was burned, the priest’s servant would come and say to the man who was sacrificing, “Give meat for the priest to roast, for he will not accept boiled meat from you but only raw.”And if the man said to him, “Let them burn the fat first, and then take as much as you wish,” he would say, “No, you must give it now, and if not, I will take it by force.”Thus the sin of the young men was very great in the sight of the Lord, for the men treated the offering of the Lord with contempt. – 1 Samuel 2:15-17 (ESV)
