Expanding Your Prayer Life Series

Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 4, 2021

Sermon expounds exhortation in Eph. 6:18 to "pray with ALL KINDS of prayer." A key to expanding our prayer capacity is developing in a variety of modes of prayer. Many struggle with prayer because their prayer life is one-dimensional (primarily petition).
