In this sermon, Pastor Gene continues the “Renew” series, focusing on the idea that God is renewing believers in various aspects of their lives. The key text is from 2 Chronicles 7:14, emphasizing the power of prayer. Pastor Gene discusses the importance of making prayer a priority, having a dedicated place and plan for prayer, and recognizing the authority given to believers through prayer.
The sermon introduces the concept of shameless audacity in prayer, encouraging believers to boldly ask God for blessings and influence. Using the example of Jabez from 1 Chronicles chapter 4, Pastor Gene highlights how Jabez sought God’s blessing, influence, presence, and protection.

The sermon emphasizes the need for believers to steward blessings and influence with the right motives, seeking God’s glory and desiring to be a blessing to others. The importance of God’s presence is underscored, with the congregation urged to be a presence-driven church. Finally, the sermon reminds believers to pray for protection, recognizing that spiritual attacks may come when one is experiencing God’s blessings and influence.
