Sunday, July 26, 2020, Guest Preacher: Rev. Khristi Adams, Firestone Endowment Chaplain at the Hill

Rev. Khristi (Christy) Adams preaches from 1 Thessalonians 5:16–18, urging congregants to make prayer a continual lifestyle and—crucially—not to stop praying when answers seem absent. Using personal stories of loss and contemporary struggles (including COVID-19), she reframes “pray without ceasing” as both a God‑conscious way of life (the Spirit interceding for us) and a call to persistence in prayer through discouragement, alongside continual rejoicing and gratitude.
