Confident Prayer Series

Contributed by Jon Mackinney on Oct 24, 2003

What is it that keeps us from praying? What is it that has made prayer into a drudgery, a joyless discipline that fills us with guilt? It doesn’t have to be that way at all.

You may notice in your bulletin that it says, "Leave your guilt bags at home." Because when we ...read more

Contributed by John Lowe on Mar 10, 2017
