Walk Like Jesus: Falling At God's Feet

Finding Peace in Prayer: Learning from Jesus's Solitude

In this sermon, Reagan invites the congregation to open their Bibles to Mark chapter 1 and Luke, to explore how influential and talented figures, including Jesus, have used quiet places for reflection and spiritual growth. He emphasizes the importance of solitude in Jesus's life for connecting with God and how it is a significant focus for their 2025 congregational goal of 'walking like Jesus.' Through an examination of various scriptural passages, Reagan highlights Jesus's practices of praying in solitude even amid busy times and before significant decisions. He encourages the audience to schedule dedicated prayer times, start honest conversations with God, and pour out their hearts in prayer, following Jesus's example. Reagan concludes by inviting listeners to become disciples of Jesus if they haven’t yet taken that step.
