WE OPEN UP TRUE STORIES Every living person has a story. But most would rather not expose their stuff to critical ears. They need to find a safe place before opening up. Such was the case with Breck Brown, a young single mom with short, curly brown hair who began coming to the Genesis Project–Ogden during its earlier days. We enjoyed her bubbly, outgoing personality. The Sunday dedication of her baby daughter to the Lord before the whole congregation was a joyous moment. She joined a recovery group, without saying much about what her particular issues were. I (Matt) didn’t press her, and neither did the rest of our team. She could…

What We Can Learn from Jesus’ Prayers One of the great blessings of being a follower of Jesus is to know that right now He is interceding for His people before the Father (Roman 8:34; Hebrews 7:25). While we do not know exactly what Jesus says to the Father, we do have examples of many of Jesus’ prayers from the Bible.

He not only prays for physical protection, but even more He prays for spiritual protection–that the church’s faith would stay strong after Jesus left them to return to His Father (17:11). Second, Jesus prays for…
