DAD'S DAILY BREAD

Sermon notes Pastor Dave Morgan

4 But we will devote ourselves to prayer and to the ministry of the word.” Acts 6:3–4

What can I do to make 2026 better?? Do my priorities match up with Jesus? Is my life devoted to prayer and God’s Word? Devoted= spend significant time, commitment, relentless! Everything changes when we are devoted to prayer! Prayer is the hardest work of all! Why do you think it’s so hard to get it done or to even remember to do anything at all…? The enemy knows the power of prayer! John 10:10 Do not fail to realize how powerful prayer is! Prayer exposes your level of faith and belief as well. If you truly believed that prayer worked I’m sure you would be doing it a whole lot more! Jer 33:3 Matt 19:26 Matt 21:22 Mark 11:24 John 16:24 1 John 5:14-15 Do you believe the promises of God? Your actions will tell the story! God is waiting and He delights in our prayers! Always remember to keep your motives in check! James 4 DO THIS TODAY: Set aside time to pray everyday! Make a prayer list. Commit to praying for that list everyday. Pray God’s word over all your requests! God’s Word is our ammunition for fighting against the flesh and the enemy that wants to destroy us! You don’t have to fight on your own cause we have the Word to help us! The Word is the answer to every question you could ever have. Get in it!

Everything changes when you’re devoted to the Word. God’s Word is the ultimate power source! Read it daily and use it to guide your actions and your thinking. Study it and practice it. Ezra 7:10 Tell other people about it! Hear God’s Word- Rom 10:17 Read God’s Word- Rev 1:3 Study God’s Word- Acts 17:11 Memorize God’s Word- Psalm 119:11 Hide His Word in your heart! Meditate on God’s Word- Joshua 1:8 Let God’s Word move from your head down into your heart and let it change everything about you! You can literally never get enough! Thank You Lord!

APPLICATION:

Have a plan. Plan time to read and pray everyday! Spend time praying with my wife and my kids. Join a life group. Get involved and serve. Memorize and meditate on scripture! Let God’s Word take root in my heart so that it is the driving force for the rest of my time here on earth. Lord please give me the strength to change! Thank you for your Word and all your promises! Help me to be better!!!

What can I change to make 2026 better???

IN HIS NAME!!
