Sermon from Sunday, September 13, 2020. Holy Habits (Part 1). Deuteronomy 6:1-9 & Romans 8:22-27. Prayer is one of the most essential spiritual disciplines and one of the most widely practiced, but that doesn’t make it simple or straightforward. In fact, some of the thorniest questions of Christian life and theology are related to the act and function of prayer. Prayer means different things to different people, and that is the way God intends it to be.
