We want to be a church that prays more and prays more deeply so we can really connect with God, always being dependent on Him, and allowing the Spirit to shape and change our hearts to be more aligned with the heart of our Father in heaven.
But it’s hard for many of us, especially in today’s individualistic culture where we spend a lot of time just thinking about ourselves.
We tend to focus primarily on our own personal success, what makes us happy in life, how we want to spend our time.
So it’s not that surprising, that even when we do pray, our prayers are often focused more on ourselves and less on God.
In Jonah 4:1-11, we can see his imperfect prayer, and learn, that it’s okay to approach God in prayer for any reason even if it’s with a completely self-centred heart.
But more importantly, we’ll then see how God responds and how He ultimately wants to change us as we pray, so that we can be more aligned with His heart and enter into a deeper time of prayer with Him.

Justification By Faith (Philippians 3:9)
Justification by faith was one of the key doctrines of the Protestant Reformation, which took place in the 16th century.
It was a doctrine that these Protestant Reformers were willing to die for.
Today's message is one of the most important doctrines for the Christian faith because it answers the question:
How can imperfect sinners be accepted and approved by a perfectly holy God?

No Confidence In The Flesh (Philippians 3:1-8)
How do you know if God is pleased with you? How do you know if God accepts you and you’re in right standing with God?
Do you look over your week and think that because you’ve been reading the Bible, praying, serving, and going to church, then you must surely be accepted by God?
But what happens when you have a bad week. What happens if you lose your temper, neglect prayer, or fall into habitual sins?
Do you feel God only accepts you when you are performing well spiritually? And if you’re not, then you think God must not accept you?
In today’s passage, this type of performance mentality is anti-Gospel and the exact opposite of what the Gospel teaches.
It can’t be based on our spiritual performance or spiritual resume, but rather it must be grounded in the person and work of Jesus Christ.
