All TalksValues: Formation - Catherine IsholaWe’re taking a few weeks as a church to focus on our three core values: Presence, Formation, and Mission. This week, Catherine Ishola (Sutton Service) teaches on Presence as our foundational value. We look at Ephesians 6 and our call to a life of unceasing prayer, to contending for a move of God’s Spirit in our time. This requires moving from prayer as obligation to orientation toward Jesus, from relying on feelings to deepening friendship, and from merely consuming faith to actively contending in intercession for the church and the gospel’s advance.
