Summary
As the war on Christianity intensifies, it is tempting to feel overwhelmed and underprepared, but believers have a powerful weapon that is always available—prayer. In this message, Nate Heitzig examines James 5:16-18 to discover who prayer is for, how we should pray, and the impact it makes.
I. What Is It?
II. Who Can Use It?
III. What’s the Impact?
Talk with God: Is there someone or something that you’ve given up praying about?
Talk with others: “Confess your faults” (v. 17, KJV) to a mentor or trusted fellow believer and ask them to pray for you and hold you accountable as you tackle these areas in your life.
Talk with kids: What’s the difference between knowing Jesus and knowing about Jesus?
