Prayer: The Gateway to Intimacy/Ministry
This Sunday we will be looking at the relationship between intimacy with God and effectiveness in ministry. The key to that relationship is prayer.
We will be looking at Paul’s prayers in the book of Ephesians. In preparation for Sunday AM please read Ephesians 1:15 - 23 and 3:14 - 19 and ask this question, what was Paul’s prayer request for these people and why that request?
I am looking forward to being with you in-person and on-line. For those of you on-line, Pastor Steve Kim will be the on-line pastor on the Facebook feed this Sunday.
