     | 5,286 views

    Advent is a time to renew a theocentric approach in an often-anxious world.

    How we should approach God in prayer - with shameless boldness.

    The Lord’s Prayer Luke 11:1-13 February 20, 2022 I’m going to start off with a kind of crazy what if question . . . .

    When I was ten, that meant that Jesus went up into the clouds and literally sat at the right hand of the Father, on a throne in the clouds. But no more.

    Ascension Day One commonality that men and women my age have in the U.S., no matter what religion we were raised in, is the story of Jesus.
