PRAYER - WEEK 1 - "Praying to the God Who Is"

Join us for Week 1 of our ‘Praying to the God Who Is’ series as we explore the power of prayer and its connection to a real, holy, loving, and personal God. Pastor Tim challenges us to embrace prayer not as wishful thinking but as an intimate relationship with the Creator who listens, speaks, and responds. Dive deep into 1 John 5:13-15 and rediscover the transformative power of prayer in your life!
