Join Destination Church Small Groups as we come together for an evening of prayer and worship on Tuesday November 23. Location and time are below.

A quick survey of the church in the New Testament finds a movement of new Christians committed to prayer. Every major event in the book of Acts is closely tied to a prayer gathering of believers.

Here are some examples of biblical prayer gatherings:

• 3,000 people become Christians after an extravagant time of prayer: Acts 2.
• The first Christians devoted themselves to gathering for prayer. Acts 2:42.
• A lame beggar is healed as Peter & John are going to a prayer gathering: Acts 3:1-10.
• The believers gather together to celebrate and pray after a time of persecution: Acts 4:21-31.
• Church leaders specifically devote themselves to prayer. Acts 6:4.
• They appointed seven men to do administration, laid hands on them and pray together. Acts 6:6.
• Peter and John are sent to Samaria to lay hands on and pray for all the new believers to receive the Holy Spirit. Acts 8:14.
• Peter is put in prison and the church gathers for prayer. Acts 12:5.
• A bunch of differently gifted Christians were gathered for prayer and fasting. This prayer gathering initiated the spread of the gospel into Europe, pretty significant prayer gathering! Acts 13:1-3.
• They appoint elders in the church through prayer and fasting. Acts 14:23.
• On the way to a prayer gathering Paul casts a demon out of a fortune teller. Acts 16:16.
• A jailer is converted after hearing Paul and Silas praying and singing together. Acts 16:25-34.
• The believers have a spontaneous farewell prayer gathering for Paul. Acts 20:36-38.
• People gather for a time of healing prayer after Paul see’s a sick man healed. Acts 28:7-10.

This Thanksgiving, let’s give thanks and seek God for the plans He has for us!
