Abiding in the Heartbeat of God

FIRST15
About this episode

As we look at the different ways we are to abide in the true vine of God, today we’ll explore the concept of prayer. It is my hope today we walk away with simplified prayer lives. As you learn to seek out the heartbeat of God, may you grow in confidence in his love for you and those around you.

Our Scripture for today comes from John 15:7-8, and today's worship is Everything You Are by First15 Worship feat. John Marc Kohl.

___

Forgive the Person, Not Their Actions
