    Good Friday 2013 Holy Week 2013 The psalms of Good Friday are the prayers of Jesus on the cross.

    Jesus teaches us that our prayers need to be daring.

    It has been said the prayer is the greatest secret weapon of the church today. Great, because God promises to answer prayer. Secret, because most Christians do not know how prayer works. Our Lord’s disciples had asked Jesus to teach them to pray (v. 1). As part of His answer, Jesus shared a ...read more

     | 2,679 views

    It’s Spiritually necessary for us to contemplate our journey with God and ask one simple question with huge implications. “Have I sold out my life for Jesus?”
