Text: Matthew 6:33 - But seek ye first the Kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you."
The job of the church is not to impact the church, it's to impact the world!
In football, the huddle is not the object - it's what happens when the huddle breaks out that makes the difference!
Matthew 9:37-38 - reveals Jesus' priority and His only prayer request - souls!
I Timothy 2:1-4 - tells us to pray for the lost to be saved according to God's will.
John 13:35 - instructs us to pray for love among the brethren.

- a witness of boldness in sharing the Gospel
- a witness of unity among the believers
- a witness of wisdom among the believers
- the awakening of souls
- the conviction of sin
- having the mind of Christ
- having a harvest-centered focus.
