A New Beginning in Prayer (3 of 7)
Series: All Things New

Luke 11:1-13
INTRO: I want you to take your Bibles now this morning and be finding your place at the eleventh chapter of Luke's gospel if you will.

So our stewardship has just as much to do with our bible study and prayer time, our service and witnessing and worship as it does with our giving. All of these things, each and every one of them, can be categorized and considered as the mysteries of God and the mani ...
