MEMORIAL PRAYER || AUGUST 9, 2026 || SERIES: CAN WE TALK? || SPEAKER: DAN WONNEBERGER
The Church in Smyrna went through some very difficult, trying times. Whenever we face seasons like those, it can be tempting to throw in the towel. However, their example of enduring faithfulness is a poignant challenge to persevere in faith.
Laodicean Christians had the reputation of being “moderate” in their faith. Moderation can often be a good thing, but if it amounts to a watered down and anemic faith life, it becomes a liability. Jesus longs for us to have a heart that burns hot for Him and His purposes in the world.
Rev. Mueller, Executive Director of The Outreach Foundation, shares an update on how the organization’s trusted partnerships around the world are helping churches and congregations join in Christ’s global mission. As one of our keynote speakers for our 2026 Mission Conference, Rev. Mark Mueller highlights how Outreach Foundation is supporting kingdom work and spreading the gospel through its international ministry efforts, and encourages us to prayerfully consider how we are called to participate in mission work.
The Israelites filled their environment with reminders of God and His goodness to help them trust Him, even if the people around them didn’t. From landmarks to home décor to jewelry, they surrounded themselves with daily reminders of their God. We would do well to learn from their example, allowing meaningful objects to prompt moments of prayer.
