As we continue our series “Promises,” Jeff unpacks Paul’s prayer for the church in Ephesus. In this passage, we’re promised to grow in three areas of our spiritual lives: the knowledge of God, our confident hope in Christ, and the understanding of God’s power for us who believe. Listen in as Jeff explores a practical way to grow in spiritual maturity as well.

Our new series starts off with the topic of intercession. Jeff Faust defines intercession as "praying on behalf of another." There are many questions about prayer, why and how it works. It is not so much how prayer works, but that it works at all. God listens to us so he can change our circumstances based on our requests. We can pray for ourselves, our neighbors, specific groups of people, our city, our world. Though our prayers are not always answered the way we want, the more we keep praying, the more breakthroughs we will see.
