As we continue our series on Wrestling with Doubt, Finding Faith, we’re looking this week at the question of prayer. “Does Prayer Work?” Jesus invites his followers to pray, yet often, we wonder if our prayers are heard. Is God even listening? Or are we just talking to ourselves? Why aren’t our well-intentioned prayers always answered?

There’s a lot to wrestle with this week, and this sermon doesn't have clear-cut, satisfying answers. Nevertheless, join us as we dig into the purpose of prayer, and wrestle with how we faithfully go to God in prayer. Today's Scripture readings are 2 Corinthians 12:7b-10; Psalm 22:1-5, 19; and Matthew 22:18-22.
