Episode Overview

In this episode, Pastor Jabin Chavez continues his series on faith, focusing on "The Prayer of Faith" from James 5. The sermon explores different dimensions of prayer: the power of agreement, the importance of praise, and praying from a place of victory, as well as how prayer moves God, changes situations, and unites believers. He stresses the daily practice of prayer, the supernatural results it brings, and the reality of spiritual warfare—all in a lively, faith-stirring tone, often interacting energetically with the congregation.

Key Discussion Points & Insights

1. The Invitation to a Life of Prayer

• Scripture Reference: James 5 & Philippians 4:6
• Main Point: Believers are invited to walk by faith and to saturate their lives with prayer—not just for emergencies, but in “everything.”
  • “You can baptize your life in prayer. And when you do that, everything about your life will change.” (04:08)
  • God is to be approached daily (“He’s a Monday God…He’s a daily God. He gives us daily bread.” 03:43)
• Key Insight: Prayer isn't merely a religious ritual or therapy, but a living, faith-filled exchange with a God who hears and responds.

2. Understanding Prayer: Not a Monologue, but a Dialogue

• Quote: “Prayer is the difference between the best we can do and the best God can do.” (05:58)
• Pastor Chavez describes how prayer includes listening, sensing, and receiving from God—often through impressions, pictures, or phrases rather than audible voice (06:36).
• Admitting our lack: “You’ll never pray until you admit that you do not know… Some of y’all know too much, which means you don’t know enough.” (07:17)

3. The Power of Prayer Types in James 5

a. The Prayer of Agreement

• Reference: James 5:14 - “Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders… let them pray over him…”
• Insight: There are times when our personal faith is low, and we need to “borrow” faith by asking others to pray.
  • “You can borrow another person’s faith… When you can’t pray, when you can’t call on God, call on the elders … phone a friend and borrow the faith of God’s people.” (10:01)
• Corporate faith: “There’s power in impartation, there’s power in gathering with the people of God.” (11:07)
• Illustration: Jesus saw “their faith” when a paralyzed man was lowered by friends—corporate faith moves God (12:10).
• Quote: “When we gather with the saints… He’ll respond to us corporately. It’s what we would call corporate faith or a corporate anointing.” (12:20)

b. The Prayer of Praise

• Definition: Thanking God before the miracle—faith in action.
• Illustration: Jesus thanked God outside Lazarus’s tomb before raising him (14:27).
• Quote: “It is faith to thank God BEFORE the miracle. To say, Lord, I don’t know how, and I don’t know when, but Father, I thank you.” (15:01)
• Application: Praise lifts the spirit of heaviness; music helps the heart stay engaged in prayer (16:54–18:20).
• Practical note: “Praise until that heaviness starts lifting off…” (15:26)
• Thanksgiving produces peace: “If you pray with thanksgiving… the peace of God… will guard your heart.” (19:17)

c. The Prayer of Victory

• Spiritual Warfare Context: There are times of increased attack; during these, pray from victory, not for victory.
• Biblical Example: Luke 22:31-32, Jesus tells Peter, “Satan has desired to sift you… BUT I have prayed for you.” (21:22–23:40)
  • “‘But’ is a contradiction… I’m going to come against it and declare something with more power…” (23:16)
• Acts 12: Peter in prison, church prays and he’s miraculously freed—even with “broken faith.” (24:43–27:50)
  • “Even broken faith can break chains. Even disappointed faith can break chains. Even weary faith can get answers.” (27:44)
• Encouragement: Pray with whatever measure of faith you have—God fills the gap (“Go in the strength you have…” 28:52).
• Repetition: Sometimes, the key is to keep praying: “Then when he prayed again…” (29:41)

Notable Quotes & Memorable Moments

• “You cannot hide a prayer life. It always produces fruit. A private prayer life always goes public.” (01:22, Lead Pastor Jabin Chavez)
• “Prayer is the difference between the best we can do and the best God can do.” (05:58, Lead Pastor)
• “Thank God until joy touches your soul.” (15:26, Lead Pastor)
• “Even broken faith can break chains. Even disappointed faith can break chains. Even weary faith can get answers.” (27:44, Lead Pastor)
• “Pray with whatever faith you got.” (28:50, Lead Pastor)
• “Let it rain. In the name of Jesus, let it rain.” (31:15, Worship Leader)

Flow & Tone

Pastor Jabin preaches with passion, humor, and a sense of expectancy. He’s interactive (“Elbow your neighbor and say, I need to borrow some faith…”), often breaks for praise, and moves seamlessly between teaching, exhortation, and encouragement. The episode is faith-stirring, practical, and direct in calling listeners to deeper prayer lives, both privately and corporately.

---

Key Takeaways

• Faith is cultivated and expressed through daily, consistent prayer—a prayer that expects answers.
• There’s power in praying with others and borrowing one another’s faith when individual hope fails.
• Praise is a powerful act of faith—thank God before the answer appears.
• Victory in spiritual battles is not about striving but about standing in the victory Christ already secured.
• Even weak or broken faith, when offered to God, can accomplish the miraculous.
• Persistence in prayer is essential—pray again!

Transcript

[Ben]

Hey, what's up, family? Ja, Ben here. And we are about to jump into God's word. I'm so excited about this sermon. I believe it's going to speak to your heart and be a blessing to you, to your friends, your family, just your whole world as you are following Jesus. Listen, if you have not done it yet, would you please like and subscribe and I don't know, do all the things that they tell us to do, hit the, hit the ring notifications. All of that would be such a blessing as we're just trying to spread this message that God is doing here in Vegas to the world. You're going to love this sermon. I'm going to talk to you at the end of the message as well. So let's jump in together.

[Lead Pastor]

James chapter five. We talked about the life of faith. We have talked about the feet of faith last week. Now we're going to talk about the prayer of faith. And this is James chapter 5. Is anyone among you suffering? Let him pray. Anyone among you cheerful? Let him sing psalms. Is anyone among you sick? Let him call for the elders of the church and let them and pray over him, anointing him with oil in the name of the Lord. And the prayer of faith will save the sick. And the Lord will raise him up. If he has committed any sins, he will be forgiven. So confess your trespasses to one another and pray for one another that you may be healed. And the effective fervent prayer of the righteous man or woman. Praise the Lord. Women's conference or woman avails much. Elijah was a man just like us. He had a nature just like ours. And he prayed earnestly that it would not rain. And it did not rain on the ground for three and a half years. And then he prayed again. And the heavens gave rain and the earth produced its fruit. You cannot hide a prayer life. It always produces fruit. A private prayer life always goes public. Always. You can't hide the fruit that your prayers will produce. So I want to talk about the prayer of faith today. I'm going to preach quick and then we're going to get into a beautiful time of ministry. Father, thank you that you are inviting us into

[Ben]

a life of prayer.

[Lead Pastor]

A secret place of prayer that would change our entire lives. Come, Holy Spirit, have your way in this moment. Lead and guide and speak. Encourage and heal. Minister to your people, save souls. Do what you want to do. We do make room for the move

[Ben]

of the Holy Spirit today.

[Lead Pastor]

In Jesus name. Thank you, Lord. In Jesus name. Everybody said amen. Come on. If you're ready for a word from the Lord. Clap your hands one more time. Let's have church today. Last week we talked about how there is this possibility that we can walk by faith and not by sight. That it is an invitation from heaven to earth that you don't have to live a sight life. You can live a faith life. You can live a life of faith. What an amazing blessing. What an amazing opportunity. What amazing possibility that you can leave the five senses, you can leave the scene, and you can walk by the unseen realm. Now I'm going to show you another invitation, another opportunity that God has for us. And it's here in Philippians 4. 6. In everything by prayer that you can live a life where the foundation of your life, the lens in which you see the foundation of every decision you make, the doorway in which you enter any moment can be a life of prayer that in everything. Not some things, everything. Not the big things, everything, not. Not the major things in everything. Everything in your life by prayer. That you can baptize your life in prayer. And when you do that, everything about your life will change. See, the devil's trying to convince you that God is relevant to you for one hour on the weekend. But God's an everyday God. He's not just a Sunday God. He's a Monday God, and he's a Tuesday God. And he's a Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, Saturday God. He's a. He's a daily God. He gives us daily bread. He's a God who's faithful by the hour and by the minute. And yes, even by the second. God wants to invade your life where he is not an event on the weekend, but he becomes your best friend. He becomes the one you walk with and talk with.

[Worship Leader]

I'm talking about prayer.

[Lead Pastor]

Talking about an invitation from heaven. Prayer is not something we should do to appease our guilty religious conscience. Prayer must be more than a discipline. And prayer is more than spiritually therapeutic ritual. Well, let's just pray, you know, nothing's gonna happen. But. No, no, we actually believe in this church. This is crazy. Get ready. That God actually hears our prayer. And that God actually answers prayer. And that when we pray, things move. And when we pray, things change. And when we pray, mountains gotta go. And when we pray, storms gotta settle. And when we pray, valleys gotta rise up. And when we pray, bodies have to respond to the move of the Holy Spirit.

[Worship Leader]

I'm talking about prayer. I'm talking about a house of prayer.

[Lead Pastor]

I'm talking about your house can become

[Worship Leader]

a house of prayer.

[Lead Pastor]

I'm talking about. God will give you testimonies.

[Worship Leader]

I prayed and God moved. I prayed and God showed up. I prayed and God spoke.

[Lead Pastor]

Come on. Does anybody know that your God is still alive and well?

[Worship Leader]

Give him a shout of praise in the house. Prayer.

[Lead Pastor]

Prayer is the difference between the best we can do and the best God can do. Prayer. Call unto me and I will answer you. So now we know that prayer is not a monologue, but a dialogue. Never, never pray and not expect God to speak to you. He's going to speak to you. You talk to me, I'll talk back and I'll show you. So now there's. See, this is how God usually speaks, with a picture. I've never heard God with these ears, and I've never seen God with these eyes. But I've experienced God as he's given me a picture, a vision, an idea. Don't think of like visions. It's just like, you know, your eyes roll to the back of your head and you get caught up in a trance. And I think that could. That can happen. It's in the Bible. But that's not what I'm talking about. You're praying and you start to see something, start to sense something. You start to feel something. Sometimes you'll even get a phrase, and it'll kind of go in front of you. You'll actually, like, see a sentence in front of you, and you'll kind of just know. So I call and he answers me and he shows me things. Man, I don't know what to do now. He shows me things that I do not know. Now, you'll never pray until you admit that you do not know. Some of y' all know too much, which means you don't know enough. It's not until you get to the place of I don't know that you can really become a prayer warrior. And there are things you have to believe. This from Scripture. There are things you don't know. But if you would commit to praying, God would begin to reveal to you what you do not know. This is so powerful. See, I don't want to get to heaven and go, I didn't know. I don't want to be a spiritual baby when I get to heaven. Amen. I don't want to be an infant by the time I get to heaven. I want to know some stuff. I want heaven to be familiar to me. Heaven will only become familiar to you if you become a person of prayer, because that's where heaven meets earth. Talking about prayer, the life of prayer, the life of prayer will take you to a place that education cannot give you, pedigree cannot give you, money cannot buy you, people cannot give it to you. It is a God given place called the place of prayer. I'm inviting you to become a man of prayer, a woman of prayer, a people of prayer that may City Light be a house of prayer. And my prayer by the end of this weekend is that God baptizes us in a spirit of prayer where our faith goes to another level. That's what I'm really believing for. By the end of this weekend that God is releasing a fresh wind on this house of faith and belief prayer. And we're never going to be the same again. In Jesus name, amen. Number one. Number one, I want to talk about the prayer of agreement. These are all the prayers that we see in James 5. And the first is the prayer of agreement. Is anyone among you sick? Is anyone among you hurting? Is anyone among you suffering? Let him call for the elders of the church. Let's come into agreement about the issue that we're facing. Never forget this. You can borrow another person's faith. When you can't pray, when you can't call on God, call on the elders. When you have nothing else to say to God. When you've run out of strength, when you've run out of spiritual energy, when you've run out of faith, when you go to talk to God and nothing is there, pick up your phone and call the church. Call a friend, phone a friend and borrow the faith of God's people and say, for whatever reason, right now I can't pray, but can you pray over me? I love how it says that over him. Would you pray over me? Would you cover me? Would you anoint me with oil? Because I just need a moment of faith. I need the wind of God to touch my life. I don't have anything left. So I'm going to borrow your faith. Come on. How many know that there is power when we pray together? I'm talking about the power of agreement. Elbow your neighbor, say, I need to borrow some faith. Come on, tell them right now, I need to borrow some faith. I need to borrow some faith. I need your faith. We can borrow each other's faith. That happened in Acts chapter three. There was a man who was sick and he looked at Peter and John and he said, can I have some money? Peter said, I don't have money, but here's what I have. I'll give it to you. In the name of Jesus, rise up and walk. He gave him what he had. There is power in impartation. There is power in gathering with the people of God. Man. If you're ever on a row here worshiping and you look down your row and, man, it just kind of feels funky and everybody feels a little weird, just move, just move. Just be like, you know, y' all are crazy. I'm gonna go somewhere. I'm gonna find me a praiser. I'm gonna find me somebody with a big old leather Bible, preferably King James. I need some these and thou's this morning. And I need somebody to worship with. I need a praise partner. I need a faith partner. I need. I need to connect my faith with somebody, somebody else. When Jesus saw this is so powerful, their faith, he said to the man, he saw their faith. And he said to the man, he saw their faith. Whose faith? Well, there was a sick man who got carried into a church service by four friends. They put him on a mat and they carried him to Jesus. Jesus saw their faith. Whose? At least two. Was he one of them? I'm not sure. But that's what happens in the gathering of the saints. He no longer just sees you individually, though he does, because he'll speak just to you. But he sees us corporately and he'll speak to us corporately and he'll respond to us corporately. It's what we would call a corporate faith or a corporate anointing. It's when we gather with the saints. You can pray by yourself. You should pray by yourself. You can worship by yourself. You should worship by yourself. You should have your own walk with God. Amen. Agree. But there is something about getting in the house of God with the people of God, lifting up the praises of God. Come on, that begins to do something. Clap your hands if you believe it.

[Worship Leader]

For where two or three gather in

[Lead Pastor]

my name, there I will be with them. But isn't he everywhere? Yeah. But isn't he at every place at all the time? Yeah, he is. And yet there's something about coming into agreement that God blesses. One can chase a thousand to flight, but two can chase 10,000. Not 2,000. 10,000. 10 x 10 x 10 x 10 x. Move over. Grant Cardone 10 x Two people together can come into agreement and do 10 times what you could do by yourself. It's the prayer of agreement. It's the power of going. I need you to pray for me. It's the power of going. I need help. It's the power of going. I've got issues in my life and for whatever reason I can't move this mountain by myself. Can I get some help? Can I get some prayer? And something supernatural begins to happen. I'm talking about the prayer of agreement. Thirdly, the prayer of praise. I'm sorry. Secondly, the prayer of praise. I'm moving fast. Sorry, my bad. The prayer of praise. The prayer of praise. Thanks God in advance for what he's about to do. In advance for what he's about to do. Jesus is staring at the tomb of his best friend Lazarus. And before he says, lazarus, come forth before there's a miracle, before there's a change, before you can see anything, before you can feel anything, before you can sense anything, before you know anything is changing in the natural. Jesus, before he sees the miracle, says, father, thank you that you heard me. It is absolutely 100% appropriate to thank God after the miracle. But it is faith to thank God before the miracle, to say, lord, I don't know how and I don't know when, and I don't know when you're

[Worship Leader]

going to do it, and I don't

[Lead Pastor]

know how you're going to do it. But, Father, I thank you. Thank you that you heard me, and I thank you that you hear me and I thank you that you're about to do something in my life, and

[Worship Leader]

I'm going to praise you on credit

[Lead Pastor]

that you're going to get it done

[Worship Leader]

because you're a debtor to no man. So, God, I give you the glory in advance for all that you're about to do in my life. Hallelujah to God. Be the glory. Come on, somebody shout with me right now.

[Lead Pastor]

I feel like something's about to break

[Worship Leader]

loose in your life. Father, I thank you. For what? For nothing. It hasn't happened yet.

[Lead Pastor]

But I thank you that you've already heard me. Thank God until joy touches your soul. I think we've preached so much in the church about how, you know, we don't walk by feelings, we don't walk by feelings, we don't walk by feelings. I get that, but. But God's given us emotions. They're a gift. And you can actually praise God until something hits your soul and you go, okay, yeah, God's okay. God's moving. Okay, God's working. The Bible says, put on the garment of praise for the spirit, of heaviness. Praise until that heaviness starts lifting off of you, until something in you goes, all right, it's gonna be all right. All right. God's good. Okay, all right. God's with me. All right. What's going to Happen next? I'm not sure, but I'm all right. I'm. I'm going to make it praise until that garment gets on you, until that heaviness starts lifting. That's why music is such a gift. It fills in the gaps where fear and doubt and confusion could fill in. Where's Caesar at? He's probably on a smoke break. Where's our keyboard player? Tell him to put that vape away. Get out here. I'd like him to come out here if he can. He's not really smoking. He's like. He's the most Pentecostal. Like, True Blue. He would die that even making that

[Ben]

joke, he'd be like, pastor, don't even

[Lead Pastor]

joke about cigarettes, Pastor. It's not funny, Pastor, I don't know if he could come out, because if he can, tell him to come. Because what. What music does is it fills in the gaps. Because here's what can happen. You'll start praying, and you'll start, well, Lord, I just pray for this, you know? And then you kind of hit a lull and start hearing your heartbeat. You know, you start hearing your nose whistle. You know, you're like. Just breaks you out of the flow. The music fills the gap. The music fills in the space. And then you could sing and you could praise and you can. Lord, I thank you. Lord, I worship you. Lord, you're awesome. And then. And you kind of get back in the flow, and then once again, you start to pray. Lord, I pray for my husband. Lord, I pray for my wife. I pray for my. Oh, Cesar,

[Worship Leader]

my guy.

[Lead Pastor]

I know you're right in the middle of the. Eating breakfast or something back there, but just give me a nice something. Just a nice something. You know those things I like. You know those things. Any key. It's easier to pray with that. Turn them up. Is that the music or the skill or the gift or the anointing or God's presence or. Yes. So stop, stop, stop, stop, stop. Well, Lord, we just prayed today. Jamin told me I need to pray. So, God, here I am. You sound a lot better, sir. Well, Lord, all of a sudden you sound awesome. All of a sudden you sound like a man of God. And then you praise the Lord and you worship the Lord and you sing off key. And you. And you honor God and you praise God. And, Lord, I thank you that you're going to answer my prayer. And I thank you that you're moving in my life. And I thank you that you're going to do something special this year. And my family I thank you that my greatest days are. And all this. And that music carries you through the. Through the lull of. Okay, now I. Okay, well, I kind of prayed my list. I kind of talked to God about the things I was. Okay, I was planning on praying for 30 minutes and I prayed through my prayer list in 30 seconds. Now what do I do? Worship God. I thank you that you're moving God. I thank you that you're speaking. Does that make sense? That's. And then. And then it refocuses your heart. Be anxious for nothing but in everything by prayer and supplication with thanksgiving, let your requests be made known to God. With thanksgiving. With thanksgiving. With thanksgiving. With thanksgiving. Here's what happens. If you pray with Thanksgiving, verse seven, you get verse seven. And the peace of God surpasses all understanding. If you're not praying with Thanksgiving, you never get the peace. The Thanksgiving comes in and here's what happens. The peace comes in and he guards, he rules, he reigns. That word guard is the word umpire. It's where we get umpire like you. Peace starts calling the shots. Not fear, not the devil, not your emotions, not your worries, not what you're. He starts deciding. Safe, home out, ball strike. This is all the baseball terms. I know. Three pointer, touchdown. Wait, what are we in a different sport? Par. You know, whatever the. He becomes the umpire. Peace becomes the. Wouldn't you love to live a life by peace? Not bullied by the devil, not bullied by emotions, not bullied. Bullied by culture, not bullied by people's opinion, not bullied by the fear of man. I'm led by.

[Worship Leader]

I'm moved by peace. So God, I thank you for all that you're doing in my life. I give you the glory. I thank you that you're moving mountains and you're working. I thank you.

[Lead Pastor]

And now peace comes. Peace rules and reigns. Thirdly is the prayer of victory. Well, you're stuck up here now. The prayer of victory. There will be times where you'll come under increased attacks from the enemy. And in those moments, we do not. We do not pray from a place of praying for victory. We pray from a place of victory. And not everything's a demonic attack. And not, not every day should be warfare and not, you know, you're not that important, you know what I'm saying? Like the devil. It's the devil again, you. But there are times where it feels. It feels like man, what is up? What is going on? And in that moment, there is a response that we make in the spirit. Watch this Simon. Simon. Behold. Satan has demanded. Satan has desired. Satan wants to. Satan has a will. Don't forget this. Satan is a personality with. He's a spirit who has desire. He wants to have you that he might sift, separate, tear apart. Satan wants to destroy your life. But. Now watch this. But. But is a contradiction. But is a disagreement. But is everything I just said, I'm now going to disagree with it. I'm going to come against it, and I'm going to declare something new that has more power than what I just said. Y' all ready? So, yes, there is the devil. Yes, he wants to destroy my life. Yes, he has a plan to bring harm to my life, to my family, to my future, to my destiny. Yes, all of that may be true. But there is a prayer that can push back darkness.

[Worship Leader]

There is the prayer that can contradict the devil. There is a prayer that disagrees with demons. There is a prayer that says, no devil. I pray and my faith will not fail. Let me get about 300 people to jump up on your feet and shout if you know I'm preaching the truth. Back up, devil. I prayed, and my prayer has more power

[Lead Pastor]

than his plan. But. But, but, but, but, but. We have prayed.

[Worship Leader]

But.

[Lead Pastor]

We have prayed. But we have prayed. Peter was in prison. Peter was in prison. Peter's on death row. Peter's about to get his head chopped off in the morning. Peter was kept in prison. Acts 12. 5. But the church was earnestly praying to God for him. This is such a powerful verse, Acts 12. 5. But the church prayed. James already died. James had already had his head cut off. The people loved to see him die. And so now they're going to do to Peter what they did to James. But. But the church started a prayer meeting and said, we have to pray for Peter. Peter's asleep in prison. And an angel comes, wakes him up. His chains fall off, and he walks him out of jail. Peter goes to the prayer meeting where they're praying, knocks. Guys, guys, guys, good news, good news, good news. I'm free. And the girl who opens the door runs into the prayer meeting and says, guys, stop praying. God answered our prayer. Peter's out of prison. And they said, that's impossible. He's in jail. Father, we just pray for Peter that. Because sometimes our prayers are not powerful. Can we put it back up? Can we put that back up? Acts chapter 12. I want to show you this earnestly. There was emotion, There was honesty. There was. There wasn't necessarily this big, bold faith. I know it's. It's Already done. It wasn't that. It was just like, God, I can't. We can't have another loss. I can't take another hit. Their faith was broken. But listen, listen, listen. Even broken faith can break chains. Even disappointed faith can break chains. Even weary faith can. Can get answers. And it's an amazing moment that we'll all have to face at some point in our life when we're trying to believe God right now for Peter. But I'm still grieving the loss of James, and I'm in this tug of war of emotion. I'm trying to believe God for now, but I'm still discouraged by what happened. And if you serve God long enough, you'll have to face these moments. When you're the pastor, you face them almost weekly where you're like, you're trying to walk into the room and you're trying to have faith for right now, and you're thinking about something that happened this week that's. That's taking you out, and you have to go, okay, but I'm gonna. But I'm gonna believe right now for this right now while I'm grieving what just happened in my life. Maybe you're facing one of those moments. And so here's my challenge to you. Like that church who prayed with a disappointed faith. Like that church who prayed with a broken faith. Like that church who prayed with a. I just. I don't even know if it can happen. I want to ask you to do that today. Pray with whatever faith you got. You know that when God told Gideon to deliver the nation, Tony, he said, go in the strength you have. Because Gideon's thinking, I got, like, I'm down to 1% God. God said, that's all you need, because I'll fill the gap. It's five loaves and two fish, enough to feed 5,000. No. So you just give him your. Not enough. Then when he prayed again. James, chapter 5:18. Then when he prayed again. Then when, when, when. Today could be your. When today could be your. Then today can be your again. Hasn't rained in three and a half years. Been in a drought, Been in a famine, but he prayed again. Maybe you feel like you're in a drought today. I just. I've come to declare. I see the rain falling again on the people of City Light Church. I see the reign of provision. I see the reign of the Holy Spirit.

[Worship Leader]

I see the rain of a fresh faith and a fresh fire. I see the rain of God's presence on your family and on your children. I Declare your children will serve the Lord. I declare your children will speak in tongues. I declare your children will be worshipers and praisers. I declare things are turning around. I declare the rain. The rain. Let it rain. In the name of Jesus, let it rain.

[Lead Pastor]

Hey.

[Ben]

I'm hoping that today's message was a blessing to you. I know that God is speaking to you, and I pray more than anything, ministering to you, to your soul, to your family, and talking to you about your walk with Jesus and your life in the future. So, man, I'm just so honored that you would take time to be with us today. I want to take a moment to just reach out to you. If this ministry has been a blessing, if my preaching and teaching ministry has ever spoken to your heart, I'd love to ask you to prayerfully consider partnering with us in this ministry. I. Las Vegas is one of the most unreached cities in America, in the most unreached state in America. And we're doing everything we can to tell everybody we can about Jesus. And again, if this ministry has been a blessing to you, would you consider partnering with us? You can go to citylightvegas.com and you can give there. You could send in checks, whatever you want to do. All the giving will be down below. But again, we. We can't do this without the faithful support of God's people. As the Apostle Paul said. He said in the book of Philippians, we're partners together in the ministry. And this ministry, seeing hundreds of people every week come to Christ, hundreds of people water baptized every month. And more than that, man, we're just helping people and serving people. And if you've got a heart for missions, if you've got a heart for unreached people, if you've got a heart to see the gospel, go to new places. And there is no better place that I could think of, especially in America, than Las Vegas. And so if you want to help us, that would be amazing. And I'm just so grateful for you. I'm so grateful you're following along on this journey, and I can't wait to see you next week. God bless.
