Praying For Others Series

Contributed by Dennis Davidson on Nov 13, 2011

Wild Praying Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on Aug 11, 2013

Do you believe in praying bold and wild prayers? Do you believe that if you asked God to do something "impossible" that He would? Frankly, the story in Acts 12 doesn't look like these folks believed that. Did God look down on them for their doubt?
