Last week we started w/
Together We are United - Saved people are a united people
I said this in short... "As followers of Christ, we should rally TOGETHER under the unified vision of the great commandment to take the gospel to our cities and the world. Never allow yourself to be negative about another church or another believer! Don't be the one that the devil uses to create descension but be the one God uses to unify! That is what the big C is all about in the Together We Church logo! To remind us to stay focused TOGETHER with all Churches and Believers in our city to reach others for Christ!! We are all in it together!!!
Today we will preach another core value...
Together We Pray - A Praying Church is a Healthy Church!
Y'all remember that old MC Hammer Song...

In answer, the famous preacher took the visitor to a basement room where a group of church members bowed in intercessory prayer. "Here," he explained, "is the powerhouse of the church."
The Truth is... When we become a Praying Church we become a Healthy Church.
We could also say it this way.... When we become Praying Christians we become believing Christians.

All the prophets had passed and miracles seemed as if they were no more.
Draught had come upon the land and there was no hope. It seemed as if a generation would be gone.
The legend is told that Honi took a 6ft staff and drew a circle. He then got in that circle hit his knees, and began to pray:
"Lord ...
