We are starting a new monthly spotlight on local Christian charitable organizations. Last month we posted about Expeditions of the Heart. This month’s post is about “The Business of Prayer”.
The Business of Prayer is all about encouraging busy marketplace Christians to slow down and be introduced to or reminded about the love of God, the real purpose for their lives and helping them realign their day-to-day activities, time and resources to match God’s kingdom priorities for this time in history.
True transformation can only (and will only) take place if God’s Spirit does the work. Deep in our hearts we are changed more and more into His likeness by the move of His Spirit. As Jesus becomes more and we become less, our lives are marked more by Him than our plans, our agenda or our human strategy. This transformation takes place through the power of prayer and meditating on God’s Word. Feeding our soul with the reality of His love for us and then sharing this love with those around us is life-changing. Yes, we can be truly changed!
By daily encountering Jesus through prayer and interceding with the Holy Spirit, we will get to know more of God’s heart for our lives and for those around us.
Having God infiltrate us more and more with His presence is a true gift and a miracle from the Lord. The understanding of God’s intimate love for YOU has the power to transform your life … your home, your neighborhood, your business or workplace, your city, your state … our country, our continent and all the nations of the world!
Join us for our weekly marketplace prayer meetings on Wednesdays from 7 am to 8:30 am and 12 noon to 1pm. You are also invited to our Regional Marketplace Christianity Summit, hosted by The Business of Prayer, The Joseph Company and The Richmond International House of Prayer. The event will be held March 14 and 15 at the Richmond Convention Center. Click here to get more information.

For those of you interested in an introduction to the basics of Reformed theology, Trinity’s Todd DeLong will be leading a class on the Essential Truths of the Christian Faith. Below Todd gives details about the course.
Purpose: The purpose of the course is to provide a forum for those who have had very little, if any, education and instruction, both formal and informal, in Reformed theology. Any instruction provided during the course will be akin to the Socratic method, where participants will be engaged with questions related to the various topics of Reformed theology, and will be encouraged to develop answers to the questions based on Scripture. As such, the hope is that a majority of each meeting time will be devoted to the discussion of the questions and answers so that participants will be able to wrestle with these issues.
Resources: Essential Truths of the Christian Faith by R.C. Sproul. Please note that while the Westminster Confession of Faith (WCF) will be used as supporting and supplemental material, this class will not focus on the WCF (like the Theological Foundations class that officer candidates are required to take). That is, this course is intended to be an introduction to Reformed theology in its most basic (i.e. essential) form, and will not necessarily delve into topics to the depth of the WCF (or, for that matter, cover all the topics covered by the WCF).
Course Outline: The book contains ten major subject headings, and as such the outline of the book will be used as the basis for the outline of the course, more or less. I add this caveat because I would like for the course outline to contain a certain “flexibility”, depending on the subject and the engagement of the participants. For instance, I do not
anticipate being able to cover a major topic such as Salvation in one meeting session. If more than one meeting session is required to sufficiently address the comments, questions, or concerns of the participants, then another topic (e.g. End Times) may not be covered. But, the presentation and discussion of the topics will follow the order of the book.
Course Length: The length of the course will be comparable to an academic semester, meeting for 13-weeks. The course begins February 4th and concludes April 28th.
Meeting Time: The class will meet Mondays from 7 PM to 8:30 PM.
Location: Trinity - Teaching Fellowship Room “C”.

The Friday Morning Men’s Bible study is an inductive, verse-by-verse, line-by-line book study held at 7:00 a.m. in the youth fellowship hall at First Baptist Church on Park Street. The study was started by Trinity Elder David Balch to equip believers and to be an evangelical outreach to non-believers in our community. The study was held at Trinity for some seven years before moving to First Baptist Church on Park Street this year. More than 60 men from among some 10 different congregations, including Trinity, now attend. It presently is led by Trinity Elder Waugh Crigler, and the men are studying the Book of Genesis.
Each session lasts approximately one hour. The goal is to have 45 minutes of study and then at least 15 minutes of discussion and prayer at each of the tables where men sit. There is no charge to attend the Bible study, though offerings are accepted to support provision of coffee, juice and light snacks, which are made available during the study time.
Contact Persons For Information: Waugh Crigler, 434-971-9848 or John Ray, 434-979-3166.
Weather Policy: No meeting if either Charlottesville City or Albemarle County Public Schools are closed or delayed.
