Title: Prayer
Series: Stop Going to Church (4 of 5)
Scripture: Philippians 4:4-9

Good AM. As you can likely tell, things are going to be a little different today as we continue our time in God's Word discussing the (5) essential ingredients of the church found in the early church.

Finally, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is just, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is of good report, if there is any virtue, and if there is anything praisewor ...
