Devoted to Prayer

This weekend at Eastbrook Church I continued our “Living Church” series with a message entitled “Devoted to Prayer.” If we are going to be a church that is alive – a church living out our calling as the people of God – then we must devote ourselves to prayer.

You can listen to my message online at the Eastbrook web-site here. You can also subscribe to the Eastbrook podcast here or follow Eastbrook Church on Twitter.
