B90 AND BEYOND:

          INTRODUCING OUR NEW PRAYER & STUDY GUIDE FORMAT


         We pray that the Lord has thoroughly blessed you as you’ve read through the Bible
         over the past 90 days. As we wrap up B90, our next step is to move into a new way of
         bringing to life the Word of God and Kingdom Prayer.

         In the Gospel of Matthew, Jesus encourages us to “change and become like children”
         (Matthew 18:3). Humility, a spirit of joyful adventure, and a willingness to change, are
         necessary postures of the heart for Kingdom growth. In response, therefore, to Jesus’
         admonition and to a fresh movement of the Holy Spirit in our midst,  beginning the
         weekend of January 12/13, 2019, the traditional format of the “Power Guide” will
         be  transformed  into  a  new  “Kingdom  Prayer  &  Study  Guide”  format  that
         combines the best our prayer and educational ministries have to offer.

         The basic order of each day in the new guide will be as follows:

             1.  A Time of Centering

             2.  Focal Passage(s) of Scripture
             3.  Kingdom Prayer
             4.  Concepts to Consider
             5.  Reflection Question(s)
             6.  “Walking It Out” Challenges

         As  we  journey  together  through our new  “Kingdom  Prayer  &  Study  Guide”  you  are
         strongly  encouraged  to  continue  in  (or  create!)  a  covenant  group  of  3-12  Jesus-
         followers  with  whom  you  can  walk  in  solidarity  and  positive  accountability.  (Please
         register your group here: http://bit.ly/WVCFGroups). Jesus gives us the example
         of effective discipleship via a small group, and certainly the Methodist tradition was
         founded on and flourished through small group and larger corporate meetings for the
         building up of the saints and the Kingdom of Christ.

         So, if you’re tired of TRYING to live the Christian life, and instead want to TRAIN to
         live  a  life  characterized  by  God’s  Shalom  (wholeness,  rest,  peace,  etc.),  then  our
         prayer is that the Lord will use the new “Kingdom Prayer & Study Guide” to refresh
         and strengthen your very being.  By the power of the Holy Spirit, pledge now to walk
         forward on a journey that explores the heart of God in new and exciting ways.
