In this week’s message, Pastor Tommy explores the power of prayer through the stories of Moses, Herod, and Jesus. Drawing from Matthew 22 and Exodus 32–34, he contrasts self-serving rulers with humble leaders who intercede for others. Moses’ bold prayers not only move God to mercy but also transform Moses himself—teaching that true prayer aligns our hearts with God’s will. The sermon invites listeners to bring their gifts, compassion, and creativity to God’s work, following Christ’s example of steadfast love, humility, and abundance.
