The Power of Prayer

1. The Authority Behind Prayer
Have you ever prayed with everything in you—prayed desperately, prayed earnestly—and yet felt like your prayers just bounced off the ceiling? You said all the right words, you quoted scripture, you even fasted, but nothing changed.

Did You Know?

50. Codex Vaticanus
Did you know? 🤔 The Vatican Library houses the Codex Vaticanus, one of the world's oldest surviving Bible manuscripts from around 325-350 AD. This ancient manuscript is so valuable that even Napoleon took it to Paris as a war treasure, though it was later returned to the Vatican where it remains today.
49. Gargoyles
Did you know? 🤔 Medieval churches built "grimacing gargoyles" not just as decorative water spouts, but to remind worshippers about the consequences of sin. These grotesque figures were thought to represent the souls of damned sinners, frozen in stone as a warning to those entering the church.
48. Stained Glass Windows
Did you know? 🤔 The tradition of stained glass windows wasn't just decorative - they were known as "the poor man's Bible." In an age when most people couldn't read, these colorful windows told biblical stories through images, with each color having specific symbolic meaning: blue for heaven, red for Christ's sacrifice, and white for purity.

Gospel of Matthew (Text)

Matthew 10:37-39 - All Or Nothing
Embrace the all-or-nothing call of Jesus as he challenges his followers to prioritize their love for him above all else, willingly taking up the cross and losing their lives for his sake. (Jesus said to his apostles:) “Anyone who loves their father or mother more than me is not worthy of me; anyone who loves their son or daughter more than me is not worthy of me. Whoever does not take up their cross and follow me is not worthy of me. Whoever finds their life will lose it, and whoever loses their life for my sake will find it.”
Matthew 10:34-36 - The Sword of Jesus
Embrace the challenging reality of following Jesus as he reveals the divisive nature of his message, inviting us to courageously stand for truth and eternal life, even in the face of persecution and familial strife. (Jesus said to his apostles:) “Do not suppose that I have come to bring peace to the earth. I did not come to bring peace, but a sword. For I have come to turn “‘a man against his father, a daughter against her mother, a daughter-in-law against her mother-in-law — a man’s enemies will be the members of his own household.’”
Matthew 10:32-33 - Acknowledging Jesus
Embrace the call to courageously acknowledge Jesus before others as he reveals the eternal significance of our confession or denial of him, inviting us to overcome fear and share our faith with confidence. (Jesus said to his apostles:) “Whoever acknowledges me before others, I will also acknowledge before my Father in heaven. But whoever disowns me before others, I will disown before my Father in heaven.”
