Perseverance for One More Season
You and I know people whose faith has failed. Perseverance can be hard. Joseph in the book of Genesis sat in a prison cell for well over a decade, but he eventually became a ruler in Egypt. In the 1600s, John Bunyan sat in a prison cell for twelve years because of his preaching, but […]

Let’s be honest right from the start. Prayer meetings tend to have the lowest attendance of any kind of meeting. There is something about prayer that is mystical.
