Lesson 7: December 17, 2025

Dangerous Prayers: Living as a Willing Vessel

This final session of the year, led by Brother Avery Finch, challenges believers to live as "willing vessels" who prioritize God’s voice over the noise of a chaotic world. The lesson explores the biblical definition of faith as "joyful trust conjoined with obedience" and describes true peace (Eirene) as a "calm delight" that settles the mind. Drawing from 1 Thessalonians and Hebrews, the class emphasizes the necessity of rejoicing always, praying continually, and approaching the throne of grace with boldness. Brother Avery also shares a powerful report from a recent mission trip to Haiti, illustrating God's active goodness even in volatile environments. The study concludes with an in-depth analysis of "Dangerous Prayers," encouraging students to ask God to guard their eyes and hearts, and audaciously inviting Him to interrupt their personal plans. Ultimately, this lesson calls for complete availability to God, ensuring that our spiritual schedules never return a "busy" signal when He calls.
