Pastor Tom emphasized the profound power of prayer, likening it to the bold declaration of “send it” before taking on risks. He emphasized the importance of earnest prayer, highlighting its transformative potential as requests ascend like incense before God.

During Andy Dixon’s segment, she spoke about the symbolism of the Altar of Incense, explaining its significance as the closest altar to God’s presence. She drew parallels between the continual burning of incense and the ceaseless nature of prayer, urging us to maintain a constant connection with God.

Returning to the pulpit, Pastor Tom reiterated the importance of sincere prayer, emphasizing God’s desire to grant our requests out of love for us. He encouraged persistence in prayer, reminding us of God’s promise to answer those who seek Him diligently.

Pastor Glenn Kight brought further depth to the sermon by illuminating Isaiah 61:3, emphasizing God’s promise to exchange ashes for beauty. He reminded us that even in the midst of trials, joy can be found in Christ, who brings beauty from ashes.

In conclusion, “Send It!” served as a compelling reminder of the transformative power of prayer and the beauty found in God’s presence. As we depart, may we carry the fire of prayer in our hearts, trusting in God’s promise to hear and answer our petitions, and to turn our ashes into beauty.

Isaiah 61:3
3 and provide for those who grieve in Zion—
to bestow on them a crown of beauty
instead of ashes,
the oil of joy
instead of mourning,
and a garment of praise
instead of a spirit of despair.
They will be called oaks of righteousness,
a planting of the Lord
for the display of his splendor.
