Introduction

Welcome to the Turning Point Church of Galveston, where we delve into the power of prayer and its significance in our lives. In this sermon discussion, we explore the theme of praying to make it real, based on Ephesians 1:15-23.

Why Pray?

Prayer is a fundamental practice in the life of a believer. It connects us to the divine and allows us to communicate with God. By engaging in prayer, we invite God's guidance, seek His will, and find comfort in His presence. Through prayer, we discover a deeper purpose and meaning in our lives.

The Power of Prayer

Prayer has the power to transform and align our lives with God's plan. It opens doors to supernatural encounters and enables us to experience His love, grace, and mercy. Through prayer, we access divine wisdom and find strength to overcome challenges.

Exploring Ephesians 1:15-23

In the passage of Ephesians 1:15-23, the apostle Paul emphasizes the importance of prayer in the lives of believers. He prays for the church in Ephesus, asking God to grant them wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him. Paul highlights the surpassing power of God, displayed through Christ's resurrection and exaltation.
