Faith And Unanswered Prayer Series

Contributed by Barry O Johnson on May 1, 2017

This is the first message in a series on faith. God always answers prayer birthed by faith.

Religion has taught us that God decides whether or not He will answer our prayers. And because we believe that teaching we often end our prayers with “if it be thy will”.

Let There Be Series
