2 PRAYER POWER By Rev. David Brown The Sunday School Teacher was telling the children that Jesus should live inside of us. But this little boy was thinking about how big Jesus was physically and asked, If Jesus is inside of me, shouldn t he be sticking out somewhere? Now that is exactly the point. If we have Christ inside our lives, it should show on the outside. All that prayer power inside of you needs to be released to accomplish God s Will, not only inside you, but in the world through you. Once you are filled with prayer power, you are called to do good works in the world. We are called to use God s prayer power to make changes in our physical lives, not just our spiritual lives. The same is true for churches. If we are being changed spiritually, what are we changing in our ministry that can be seen on the outside? Through prayer, what is God calling KRCC to become, right here, right now? A boy getting quizzed for his Bar Mitzvah was asked a question, and the question was this: The Talmud lists ten strong things. Can you tell us what they are? The Boy could not remember exactly, but he did remember some of the ten, and that was good enough. Anyway, here are the ten strong things from the Talmud: Iron is strong, but fire melts it. Fire is strong but water quenches it. Water is strong, but clouds evaporate it. Clouds are strong, but wind drives them away. Man is strong, but fear casts him down. Fear is strong, but sleep overcomes it. Sleep is strong, yet death is stronger. But loving-kindness survives death. What does it all mean? Perhaps a pastoral paraphrase on prayer power from Ephesians 3:20-21 might help: Now to God, who by the power at work within us- Prayer Power, the power of God, the power of lovingkindness now to him who by the power at work within us (the people of the Karl Road Christian Church) is able to accomplish far more than all we can ask or imagine, to Him be glory in the church and in Christ Jesus to all generations, forever and ever. Amen. Designing Our Destiny Designing Our Destiny will be a spectacular all-church event for all members and friends of the Karl Road Christian Church.

As a hunger relief organization, SoSA gleans, or collects, leftover crops from farmers fields and delivers them to agencies across the nation that serve the poor. Many community volunteers participated in a food drop project with this organization during the General Assembly. Wendy Taylor also took a group of our youth on a mission trip at the end of July to experience the work of this organization first-hand, as they gleaned crops from fields in northern Ohio.

We would like to have silent auction baskets and gift cards here by Thursday, August 13 th between 9:00 am and 1:00 pm. Ask your friends and businesses you frequent for donations.
