The Big Idea: 

God never intended us to practice our faith in isolation. This concept is not in the New Testament. Sometimes today I’ll hear people say, “I don’t need the church. I don’t need to be around other Christian. Jesus himself is enough for me.” While you may not feel you need other believers in your life, other believers do need you. In the Bible, wherever we see Christians, we see them coming together. We were meant to serve Jesus together. Nothing brings us together more than supporting each other in prayer.


Main Points:

1. When it comes to the topic of prayer, it can be so valuable to have a trusted friend as your partner.
2. Who is in your life? Who can you count on? Who is in your corner? Who will encourage you when you are discouraged? Who will pray with you when life is difficult? Who will hold you accountable when you are struggling? We are not meant to go through life alone. 
3. Nothing brings us together more than supporting each other in prayer.


Today’s Scripture Verses:

Ecclesiastes 4:9-10 - “Two are better than one because they have a good return for their labor: If either of them falls down, one can help the other up. But pity anyone who falls and has no one to help them up.”

Matthew 18:19-20 - “Again I say to you, if two of you agree on earth about anything they ask, it will be done for them by my Father in heaven. For where two or three are gathered in my name, there am I among them.”

James 5:16 - “Pray for each other so that you may be healed”
