Title: Does Prayer Make Any Difference? By: Harry Hewitt Bible Reading: Acts Chapter 4, verses 23-31 Recorded: Sunday 09/02/2020 at our Bournville Gathering. Description: Part of our teaching series called '#AGAIN' looking at the early chapters in the book of Acts in the Bible. Our hope and prayer as we explore these studies together is that God would begin to awaken us to what he is doing and will do again. Maybe, just maybe, we might dare to see extraordinary things happen among us! Does Prayer Make Any Difference? Video - https://vimeo.com/388228991/2d964a852c In survey after survey, most people admit to praying at some point in their lives. Whether or not people do it as some sort of superstition, or genuinely believe that prayer works, most of us pray. Why? Perhaps it is because we all need hope beyond ourselves. As a society, we want to believe we are in control of our destiny. But at some point we all realise that we aren’t. Things happen, life doesn’t work out how we planned. And it is then that we realise we need help and hope. For the earliest Christians, prayer was as natural as breathing. God was doing something undeniable among them - the world had changed – and prayer was the only appropriate response when they needed hope, help and direction. And perhaps as they prayed, it helped them remember that God really was in control too. Maybe the same is true for us?
