Pastor Renewal Retreat
Pastor Renewal Retreat: The Church as a House of Prayer
with Jim Cymbala
Worship Leader, Michael O'Brien
April 29-May 1, 2024
Has prayer become an afterthought in the church today? Scripture emphasizes the importance of bringing fervent, continual prayer into every aspect of our lives as believers. When Jesus condemned the desecration of His Holy Temple, He said, “My house will be called a house of prayer, but you are making it a den of robbers” (Matthew 21:13, NIV). Renew your passion for the local church and learn how to intentionally establish it upon a powerful foundation of prayer.
