Expecting an Unreal Amount of Love (2 of 3)
Series: A Next Generation Prayer

Ephesians 3:17-19
Find Ephesians 3 with me. This is the second week to look at one of most beautiful prayers in all the Bible. It's as if you are on an escalator moving right into heaven itself. It's obviously a prayer from the first words in verse 14, ''For this reason I bow my knees before the Father.''

This is a prayer for people who already believe in Christ, who already possess the Holy Spirit in their spirits. The magnitude of that prayer is so immense that you and I need divine assistance to get o ...
