Praying With Urgency (1 Peter 4:7)

The end of all things is at hand — but what does that actually mean for how we live today? In this sermon from 1 Peter 4:7, we explore how the certainty of Christ's return should shape a life marked by urgent, sober-minded prayer. We name four common hindrances that quietly shut down our prayer lives — and show how self-control and clear-eyed humility can break through each one. At the center of it all is the gospel: the God who hears prayer because He first heard the prayer of His Son on the cross. If your prayer life has gone quiet, this one's for you.
