The Power of Prayer Jun 06, 2018

Show notes

We have access to the Lord of heaven’s armies through a simple practice we call prayer. Our habit of boldness in prayer should be the marker of a strong believer. We’re finding ourselves in an increasingly secularized culture, and we’re criticized by those who have rejected the authority of the gospel. Yet we are not powerless! We have the power of the Holy Spirit and access to Him through the simplicity of prayer. Let’s talk about why we should approach the throne with confidence!
