     | 4,683 views

    Those who embrace this message will be inspired to pursue a deeper relationship with God. Understanding that God's power is not limited to inside the church. Many people often follow pastors instead of seeking God's presence, leading to a greater power outside the church than inside.

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,300 views

    The disciples spent an amazing amount of time with Jesus and would have had many opportunities for them to ask him to teach them something. And of all the amazing things they could have asked Jesus to teach them, only one thing is recorded: “Lord, teach us to pray” (Luke 11:1).

You’ve been following him around for a little while now and you’ve seen him do some pretty incredible things…you’ve seen him heal crippled people, you’ve seen him cast out demons, you even saw him speak life into a dead guy. You’ve ...read more
