Mission Advances When We Pray
Acts 4:1-31 - As we conclude our Week of Prayer, it is important to realize that our VISION will not ADVANCE unless we PRAY.

Don’t Stop Praying!
Luke 18: 1-8 - No child has to learn how to give up. It comes naturally. We do need to be taught how to be persistent.

Thessalonians 3:6-15 - Your work matters to God. We often forget this as we rise early, fight through traffic, and then report to our bosses.

Hebrews 3:12-13 - What are the habits needed to grow as a believer? It is correct to say read the Word, pray, and be obedient.

Unfortunately, many times it’s hard to get…Series: Cultivating Habits Of The Heart
