Transforming Prayer: The Story Of Jabez SermonCentral

Contributed by SermonCentral on Sep 10, 2023

The story of Jabez shows that it doesn't matter who we are, what our parents have decided for us, or even the future we are 'destined' for: what matters is knowing what we want to be and above all, asking it of God.

What truly matters is knowing what we want to become and, above all, seeking it from God. The story of Jabes takes ...read more
