| FIRST BAPTIST CHURCH OF VENICE & THE LAKEFRONT CHURCH |
Dear Church Family,
Let’s set aside this week—June 23–29—as a dedicated time of prayer for the peace of Jerusalem.
Psalm 122:6–8 commands us:
“Pray for the peace of Jerusalem: ‘May those who love you be secure. May there be peace within your walls and security within your citadels.’ For the sake of my family and friends, I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’”
We are living in tense and uncertain times. The recent conflict involving Israel, Iran, and the United States has stirred global anxiety. But in the face of war and unrest, we are not called to fear—we are called to pray.
The enemy of God hates both Jews and Christians because through us, the truth of the Messiah is declared. The Jewish people still await the coming Messianic age. We, as followers of Christ, proclaim that Jesus is the Messiah—and He is coming again.
This week, let us stand united and unwavering.
Let us pray with boldness.
Let us pray with faith.
Let us pray with love.
Let us covenant together to pray earnestly for the peace of Jerusalem.
In Christ,
Pastor Tom
