Width of the Church

Foundational Scriptures: Ephesians 3:14-21
"For this reason I bow my knees before the Father, from whom every family in heaven and on earth takes its name. I pray that, according to the riches of his glory, he may grant that you may be strengthened in your inner being with power through his Spirit, and that Christ may dwell in your hearts through faith, as you are being rooted and grounded in love. I pray that you may have the power to comprehend, with all the saints, what is the breadth and length and height and depth, and to know the love of Christ that surpasses knowledge, so that you may be filled with all the fullness of God. Now to him who by the power at work within us is able to accomplish abundantly 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." (Eph 3:14-21 NRSV)

We proclaim that Jesus is the Son of God, He is the Second person of the Godhead, He is King of kings and Lord of lords, and He is the Head of the Church!!!

Father we pray fill the church with the love of Christ, fill every member, every Christian group, every part of the church, and every person gathered here to pray for unity with the love of Christ. We pray for a revelation of love to come to each one of us, teach us your love, so that we can love more.

Father we want to know the Love of Christ to the point that it passes knowledge and we want to know the peace of God to the point that it surpasses all our understanding. Fill us with the depth of the riches in both wisdom and knowledge, and fill us with all joy and peace in believing, that each one of us will abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.

Father we pray for each one of us to be filled with all the fullness of God. Father we pray for fullness of the Father, we pray for the fullness of Jesus Christ and we pray for the fullness of the Holy Spirit.

We pray in the name of Jesus, Amen.
