A Pattern For Prayer, Part 1

April 10, 2019

If you utilize prayer simply as a way to give God a checklist and you never spend the time fellowshipping with Him, then you've missed out on the point of prayer. In this message, Dr. Stanley gives a close look at the true purpose of prayer.

Dr. Charles Stanley

September 25, 1932 – April 18, 2023

Dr. Charles F. Stanley was the senior pastor of First Baptist Church Atlanta for more than fifty years.
