Sunday’s message is\nabout the one thing every one of us can do: get in between that person and God in prayer. The Bible calls it\nintercession, and it’s simpler than it sounds — it just means standing in the gap for someone who can’t yet stand there\nfor themselves.\n\nPastor Mark Ivey teaches from Jesus’ story of the friend who shows up at midnight (Luke 11) — the man who has\nnothing to give, so he goes to the One who has everything. Along the way: a true story about his own teenage son\nbringing a stranger home in the middle of the night, a grandfather God woke at 3 a.m. to pray for a granddaughter on a\nfailing plane, and the staggering math of what happens when just one person leads one person to Jesus and shows\nthem how to do the same. You don’t have enough on your own — but you know the One who does.\n\n📖 Scripture: Luke 11 · Exodus 11 · Acts 16 · Genesis 18 · Ruth 3 · Matthew 25\n\n🎯 OUR MISSION - Make Disciples of Jesus who encounter God’s presence and bring healing to their cities.\n\n💛 Give into what God is doing → https://www.christalive.com/give\n\n🏠 Plan a visit → https://christalive.com\n\n🎧 Listen on any podcast platform → https://christalive.transistor.fm/\n\n📍 Christ Alive Church · 1549 Southwest Blvd · Newton, North Carolina\n\n#christalive #threefriendsatmidnight #intercession #prayer #savethelost","thumbnail_url":"https://img.transistorcdn.com/JB9tV5gv4wGAaE-gNC12AsbYArue-fR-bgd3jaYsKJ8/rs:fill:0:0:1/w:400/h:400/q:60/mb:500000/aHR0cHM6Ly9pbWct/dXBsb2FkLXByb2R1/Y3Rpb24udHJhbnNp/c3Rvci5mbS9iOTE5/Yjk5N2IwZjg5YzVk/NDI3ZWJhY2IzMGIw/MTA3NC5wbmc.webp","thumbnail_width":300,"thumbnail_height":300}
