Why? Because it's a Ministry Skills Sunday!
Just as Mr. Neeson was well-equipped in a variety of ways to seek out and find his kidnapped daughter in that movie, we as Christians need to be well-equipped to successfully deal with the trials and tribulations of our lives. And a Ministry Skills Sunday is a special week in between series where we equip ourselves with knowledge and practical insights regarding various skills needed in the Christian life.
This week - Prayer. It is not a Liam Neeson-type skill that will help us overpower a bunch of bad guys. Though it does help us in spiritual fights.
Prayer is a crucial skill Christians need to acquire. It is vital to our own spiritual health and the fundamental tool God has ordained to involve us in His Kingdom purposes (Matt. 6:10, 9:37-38).
Ok, using Liam Neeson to make a case for sharpening our prayer skills may be a stretch, but in whatever scenario we find ourselves in, prayer has to be a skill we utilize.
