Never Unemployed

Contributed by Jay Yousling on Dec 1, 2020

Jesus was laboring day and night. The Twelve were beside Him but that was not enough to work the vast, ripe harvest. He calls to the Father for more workers, but what does that look like? What should we pray for?

It seems like we need more laborers. What does this look like? This was my QT this weekend: Never Unemployed. Praying for Laborers? Matthew 9:35Jesus went through all the towns and villages, teaching in their synagogues, preaching the gospel of the kingdom, and healing every disease and sickness. ...read more

In Word, In Power And In The Holy Spirit Series

Contributed by W Pat Cunningham on Aug 21, 2021

Chosen Remnant In Every Generation Series

Contributed by Rev. Dr. Andrew B Natarajan on Sep 9, 2022

Submit To Authorities Series
