    Many don’t know how to pray. Prayer involves more than petition. When times get tough believers must fall to their knees before the throne of mercy with nobody else around. In the most terrifying week of His life Jesus retreated to pray. It was in Gethsemane where He won the victory, not on Calvary!

    Introduction Slide 1 (title of series) For those who missed it, last week we began a 12 week adventure in the life of Jesus as we study what are called “The 12 stations of the cross.” In the last few weeks of the life of Jesus on earth we will study significant places He stopped at and what we can ...read more

Sometimes these are bolstered by appeals to their religious texts, sometimes it is based on experience, or a sort of philosophical position. Jesus interaction with the ...read more
