The Word and Prayer (3 of 5)
Series: Tabernacle Prayer
Zach Terry
1 Kings 17


INTRODUCTION: We are a series of sermons where we are looking at the Tabernacle old Testament Tabernacle as a pattern for prayer. Remember you are the tabernacle of the Holy Spirit in this age. We said last week the Tabernacle consists of the 3 parts:
