The Power of Prayer: Adoration
Jan 11, 2026 • Melissa Carfield
Pastor Missy challenges the church to strengthen their prayer “muscle” in 2026 by moving from a self-focused “microscope” view of personal needs to a “telescope” view of worship and adoration that first magnifies God’s sovereignty and greatness (as modeled in the Acts 4 prayer), with this week’s homework being to pray through the Psalms aloud starting at Psalm 1 and practicing Christian meditation on Scripture like the Transfiguration in Matthew 17.
