Summary
Throughout the Bible, we are told to be light, salt, and leaven—all three of which affect the environments they are placed into. In this sermon, Bill Johnson charges us with the responsibility of fervent prayer and greater courage so that we can become God’s solution in the world. All moments are good moments to pray.
