Opening Prophetic Challenge

Pastor John Collins

We see budget crisis, violence, economic ills in our neighborhoods, but we remember our covenant agreement with God and respond in prayer.

2 Chronicles 7:14 - "If my people who are called by my name humble themselves, and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven and will forgive their sin and heal their land."
