THE CHURCH: Prayer
✨This Sunday, in our continuing series on the Church, we will be looking at the spiritual practice of prayer.
✨ At its core, it is a conversation with God. Not just a one-sided monologue, but a two-way dialogue between the believer and their Creator.
✨We talk to Him, expressing our hearts' deepest desires while simultaneously hearing His heart's desire for us. Prayer is how Christians spend time connecting with their Father in Heaven.
🙏🏼 Prayer changes things. But we’ve got to do it!
💕 See you Sunday, 10am as we unpack this important topic!
