Similarly, there are different kinds of prayer and different principles for those different kinds of prayer. In this message, Pastor Cory talks about the prayer of faith. What it is. And how this type of prayer we can pray in confidence knowing God hears and answers every time. Support the Show.

What is prayer about? Before Jesus gives His disciples what we call The Lord’s Prayer, He tells them to pray in this manner which means there is a way not to pray.

In this message, Pastor Cory starts to unpack effective prayer and ineffective prayer and the role the Holy Spirit plays in our prayer life. Support the Show.
