In our message today, we’ll be focusing on the Prayer of Solitude. We’re going to examine a couple of passages in the Gospel of Matthew—one where Jesus is our example in prayer, and the other where Jesus is teaching us how to pray. One of the most effective ways that I have found to get…
In our message today, I want to explore some of the most audacious and grandiose teachings of our Lord during His time here on earth. Teachings so extravagant that we struggle to know what to do with them! How can our Lord Jesus say to us: “Ask, and it will be given to you”? This…
