John 21:1-14

Luke 24:13-35

Jesus appears to the disciples gathered in a room.

Denise invites and explores the postures of our prayer life.

If we desire to meet with God, we must make an effort to meet God on his terms. Summoning God as if he is at our disposal is not the way we pray nor is it place that God is found. John tells us Jesus is hidden in plain sight and yet we do not recognize him. 

Prayer is communication with God but prayer is more than conversation, its communion. Prayer is the doorway to life with God and yet we find ourselves burdened by expectations and failure.

The visible world has a way of causing us to question the unseen and yet, God refuses to be made into a physical idol. The body dies and the spirit is renewed day by day Paul says. There is something to faith in what is not seen that helps us discover that prayer with God is “accessible”. 

In our modern foodie culture we see how easy it is to be caught up in all things physical. Meanwhile, we lose an appetite for the deeper union that our soul so desperately needs. So we starve the flesh in order to make room for the Spirit. We tend to the spirit in prayer and presence. 

Pastor Erik takes us through this passage of Acts.
