Lakeside Presbyterian
Sunday, August 3, the sermon will be “Audacious Prayer,” from Hebrews 4:14–5:10.
Prayer is central to the Christian life—but if we’re honest, many of us feel awkward, unqualified, or even unworthy to pray boldly. Why would God listen to me? Who am I to ask for anything with confidence? The writer of Hebrews speaks directly to that hesitation. He shows us why we can approach the throne of grace—not timidly, but audaciously. Not because of who we are, but because of who Jesus is: our perfect High Priest. Come discover how His mercy gives us the courage to pray big, honest, and hope-filled prayers.
