Kneel Before the Father - Sunday Morning
Teachers
Lesson Summary
The session opened with an announcement about the World Bible School initiative, encouraging members to become study helpers, distribute prepaid postcards, and spread the gospel through various outreach tools. After the outreach update, the teacher addressed the common experience of spiritual “doldrums,” describing it as a period of stagnation likened to a windless ocean. He then shifted focus to Ephesians 3:14‑21, a prayer Paul wrote while imprisoned, highlighting its bold request for believers to be filled with God’s fullness and for His power to work beyond all expectation. Using this passage, the teacher outlined four attitudes for overcoming spiritual apathy: praying for deeper spiritual growth rather than material needs, consistently recalling that God hears our requests (James 4:3), remembering God’s limitless ability (Luke 1:37), and actively sharing the prayer with family, church, and missionaries. He encouraged participants to write the prayer on a card or keep it visible as a daily reminder. The class concluded with a call to action—both to engage in the World Bible School outreach and to apply the prayer in personal and corporate contexts, trusting that God’s abundant grace will revive their faith.
