The Heart of Corporate Prayer
Alex Russell shares about the importance and power of praying together. May we be encouraged to gather together and call upon the name of the Lord for an outpouring of His Spirit.
Equipped for Suffering and Sacrifice
Job looks for hope in his suffering and is stripped of all false hopes. He’s left clinging for hope in a heavenly witness who will speak for him and begs for a pledge or guarantee to be given as he waits. Job longs for what we have in Christ.
