RESPOND | Speak (Ep 5)

We are to respond to the gospel by speaking to God through prayer. We were designed to be in the presence of God, in intimate relationship with Him, and though we chose sin, a life apart from God, His desire is still for us. Relationship with God, made possible by the blood of Christ, requires daily investment in Him, daily listening to Him, speaking to Him, growing toward Him as we follow Jesus.
