Exodus 18- Prayer and Community

The sermon was delivered by Frank Ocampo, who challenged us to reflect on our community and the way we pray for it, particularly regarding the decisions made within the church and in our wider workplaces and society. Drawing on the account of Moses and his father-in-law, Jethro, Frank explored Jethro’s advice for Moses to seek support from others while continuing to pray for the people, asking God to raise up individuals with wisdom and discernment. Frank emphasised the importance of not only praying for our leaders to make wise and sound decisions, but also standing as intercessors for those who do not yet know Christ. He encouraged us to recognise our responsibility to pray faithfully for both our communities and those whom God is calling to Himself.
