We strongly encourage everyone to please come 1) on your small group night, 2) one other weeknight, and 3) on Saturday.

Monday Night’s Emphasis: The Holy Spirit and coming to the Lord in prayer

Monday Prayer Recap

We began last night by praying and recognizing our dependence on the Holy Spirit to lead us. We prayed into four areas:

  1. The power of the Holy Spirit,
  2. The ministry of the Holy Spirit,
  3. The gifts of the Holy Spirit, and
  4. How these things relate to us specifically at River Oaks.

Tuesday Night’s Emphasis: Walking out the Vision/Mission of God at ROCC.

We will be praying into our four key values which are:

  1. Loving God passionately,
  2. Loving others Biblically,
  3. Equipping others effectively, and
  4. Engaging the world practically, relationally, and globally.

Tuesday Prayer Recap

We began last night by praying into the 4 core values of the church. These are some of the things people sensed from the Lord:

  1. Loving God passionately: a picture of a veil being lifted for people was seen. This is encouraging in light of some of last night’s prayers about feasting on God, being filled with the Spirit, and being satisfied in God as we move forward.,
  2. Loving others biblically: strong sense of the importance of discipleship,
  3. Equipping other effectively: we will be praying more into this specifically tonight, (Wed) and
  4. Engaging the world practically: a sense that overall busyness often hinders this desire

Wednesday Night’s Emphasis: Discipleship-focused relationships

We will be praying into these four categories:

  1. Relationships as believers based on the Trinity (John 17:20-23),
  2. Unity as a body (Eph. 4:1-16, Romans 12:18),
  3. Small Groups (G.R.O.W.T.H.), and
  4. Christ-focused relationships (Col. 1:28, Eph. 4:11-16).

Wednesday Prayer Recap

We began last night by praying into the 4 core values of the church. These are some of the things people sensed from the Lord:

  1. Relationships as believers based on the Trinity: We prayed into the question, “If all relationships are ultimately grounded in the love of the Trinity (John 17:20-23) then how can we be more intentional in our relationships to love in a Christ-focused way?”,
  2. Unity as a body: We prayed about how we can be unified in our relationships as a church,
  3. Small Groups: We prayed into the G.R.O.W.T.H. initiative for small groups (Growth, Replication, Outreach, Wisdom, Togetherness, Holiness)
  4. Christ-focused relationships: We prayed into the question, “What is the nature of Christ-focused discipleship relationships?”

Thursday Night’s Emphasis: Missions

We will be praying into these five categories:

  1. That we would ALL increasingly view our sphere of influence through a missional lens including family, work, and community,
  2. Local outreach of ministries that we touch (Riding for Christ Ministries, FCA, Hope Community),
  3. Opportunities to reach unreached people groups with the Gospel,
  4. Missionaries that we support: Kathy Davis (World Orphans), Kate Borders (World Orphans), Whitmires (Spain), Ozanne (Poland), and
  5. Fountain of Hope Partnership (Bishop Julius & family, workers, all 24 children) (Col. 1:28, Eph. 4:11-16).

Friday Night’s Emphasis: Clarity on how to move forward with the building/facilities

Saturday Night’s Emphasis: Celebration and Pressing into major themes from this week’s prayertime
