Drifting Church? | Why Prayer Must Be the Anchor

What happens when prayer slowly slips from the center of the church? In this message from the Awakened series, we discover why prayer is not just personal devotion but the defining work of the church. Using Scripture, history, and powerful illustrations, this sermon exposes the danger of spiritual drift and reminds us that prayer is the anchor that keeps God’s presence prioritized. You’ll learn why programs can run without God, but prayer cannot. If you’re longing for renewal, revival, or clarity in your faith, this message will stir your heart to seek God together again. -- ABOUT CROSSLIFE CHURCH CrossLife is a dynamic group of people of all ages who are seeking to become passionate followers of Jesus Christ in a challenging and ever-changing world.
