    Sermon # 50 - Prayer And God's Timing Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 5, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 301 views

    Every prayer that is offered to God is taken note of and God will answer our prayers in His time and in His own way. Cornelius and Peter are great examples of the amazing ways in which God answers prayers. Let’s pray without ceasing knowing that the answer is one the way.
