  10. A Theology of Prayer from Acts 1. Part of the fabric of the Christian life and the life of the church • Both corporate and personal • Not only the inner, conscious conversation…but specific, quiet places of focused prayer in the presence of God. • Required a personal decision of commitment • It is true that we come to God, through the blood of Christ in the power of the Holy Spirit. But, it is also true that we can talk to Jesus and I assume we can also talk to the HS.

  11. A Theology of Prayer from Acts • In times of great need and important decisions • Not only the prayers of God’s people but the prayers ofgenuine seekers! Acts 10:2-4 • Grappling with the meaning of God’s Word and with discerning the voice of God. • Crying out to God in emergencies - Acts 12:12 • Worship and prayer was the way they dealt with personal trials Acts 16:25-26
