This week, Martin follows on from our Vision Sunday message of building around God's presence. Through 1 Kings 18:30-39, we see Elijah rebuilding the altar of the Lord with care and attention, so that the fire of the Lord might fall upon it. From this passage, we are encouraged to build routine into our prayer lives, and to abide in the presence of God, not idly waiting for him but actively seeking him out. It is only through this discipline and through lingering in God's presence that we are able to carry his power out into our communities, and impart it to others.
