Focus of the Month

Prayer begins not with perfect words but with an honest ache: "Lord, are you listening?" That's the heartbeat of our new series, Teach Us to Pray. Have you ever poured your heart out and heard only silence back? You wonder if God hears, if He cares, if He is even there, and sometimes the anguish in your soul feels louder than any answer. Yet Scripture is clear: God hears, He cares, and He is there, even when He is quiet. In Luke 11:1, the disciples watched Jesus pray and finally asked the one thing they never asked Him to teach them about preaching or miracles: "Lord, teach us to pray." Jesus answered not with a technique but with a relationship, giving us the Father's name to hallow, the Father's kingdom to seek, the Father's bread to trust for today. This series will walk through Jesus' teaching on prayer, not as a performance to impress God, but as a posture that aligns our will with His. As we ask Jesus to teach us, we will discover prayer is less about getting God to listen to us, and more about learning to live attuned to Him, especially in the quiet where He is working.

Prayer is learned by praying. Here are four ways to live the series this month:

      • Pray honestly first, polished later. When God feels silent, start with the Psalms, not a script. Read Psalm 13 or Psalm 62 out loud and make it your prayer for the week. Name what hurts before you ask for what you want. Honesty keeps prayer real and keeps our church in One Accord instead of pretending.
      • Pray the prayer Jesus taught, daily. Set a simple rhythm: morning, midday, evening. Pray through the Lord's Prayer phrase by phrase, pausing on one line each time. "Give us today our daily bread" becomes a prompt to trust God for today's meeting, today's bill, today's parenting moment in Dunwoody, not tomorrow's worry.
      • Stay in the silence on purpose. Choose five minutes this week to sit without asking for anything. No phone, no music, just "Father, I am here." Silence trains us to recognize God's presence more than God's answers, and that is how we come out stronger when heaven feels quiet.
      • Pray with someone, not just for someone. Text one person from your small group each week and ask, "How can I pray with you for five minutes?" Praying aloud together, even briefly, fulfills Jesus' promise that where two or three agree, He is there. This is our One Accord calling lived out.

Celebration of the Month


This May we honor five mothers of the Bible, from the well-known to the overlooked: Sarah, Hannah, Jochebed, Hagar, and Mary. Their stories of waiting, praying, courage, and surrender show us how God works through mothers of every background. Join us all month as we learn from their faith.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Below are a few of the questions and/or concern that you may have about ministry. After reviewing the section, if you have any additional questions and/or concerns, please don't hesitate to contact us at OneAccord@dbc.org

Reconciliation between people is important because it is important to God. In Ephesians 2, we see that Jesus broke the wall of hostility between Jews and the Gentiles. His purpose was to create in Himself one body, from two very different and distinct ethnic groups. God wants us to be vertically reconciled to Him and horizontally reconciled to others. And as in all cases, reconciliation requires intentional conversations about difficult issues. There is no better place to have difficult conversations than in the Church, a community called to love one another.  

DBC is a welcoming church and most people who visit here say they feel welcomed at the first point of contact. But integrating into our church can be difficult. We’ve heard this from a variety of people. Finding ways to welcome and receive all people in our increasingly diverse community is critical to our mission. Our purpose for this specific ministry is to build a culture of hospitality in our church for everyone.

It is good and right to see people based on their character and as God’s creation, made in his image. But God created diverse cultures. In Revelation 7:9, John says “After these things I looked, and behold a great multitude which no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues, standing before the throne…”. The implication is that John saw diversity, and that is OK. We are all different and we can value the diversity this brings. Growing in our understanding of others can help us as a church fulfill our mission to make disciples of all nations so that the vision of Revelation 7:9 is fulfilled!
