Begin with Prayer | B.L.E.S.S. | Week 1
from Upstate Community Church Hosted by Upstate Community Church
We're launching a brand new series called BLESS — a practical, gospel-centered framework for how everyday followers of Jesus can reach the people living right around them. At Upstate Community Church, we're in the middle of a 1,000-day initiative to have 1,000 gospel conversations, and this series is built to equip you with the tools to do exactly that. But before we talk method, we have to talk foundation. In this first message, Pastor Connor walks through why Jesus began his entire ministry with prayer — and why that matters for how we engage our neighbors. From the mountain in Luke 6 to the Lord's Prayer in Luke 11, we see that prayer isn't a warm-up act. It's the main event. Prayer gives us awareness of the people around us, it births passion for the lost, and it doesn't change God's mind — it changes ours. Whether you feel confident sharing your faith or you've never known where to start, this message will give you a new way to think about what it means to be a blessing to others.
