"Be Prayerful” (A Communion Message) Series

Contributed by Dave Mcfadden on Nov 18, 2010

Our prayer life is a indicator of our reliance upon God. God’s will for each of us is that we so rely on Him that prayer is a spontaneous activity throughout our daily life as individuals and throughout our weekly activities as a church family.

Now today, I want us to spend some time reflecting on the second thing that Paul says is God’s will for each of us - v. 17. There are two ways in which this needs to be applied: 1. It must be applied ...read more

Contributed by Tommy Ellis on Jun 2, 2002
