Prayer is a privilege Part 5
When we’re not in a good place spiritually, prayer can seem like drudgery. So, do we stop praying? Today on "Discover the Word," we discuss how our access to God is not based on what we’ve done or how we feel, it’s based on Christ. How understanding that we have an “all-access” pass to God can make prayer a privilege, not a burden, is what we’ll discover today on "Discover the Word"!

A miracle that demonstrates God’s provision Part 10
Today on "Discover the Word," we wind up a couple of weeks on “The Miraculous Life of Elisha” talking about a miracle that demonstrates God’s provision in a very personal way.

As we’ll see, the widow did what she could and through Elisha, God performed a miracle of multiplication. Another chapter in “The Miraculous Life of Elisha,” today on "Discover the Word"!
