Comments on: If God Is Sovereign, Why Pray? (Part 3) http://www.sfpulpit.com/2007/08/15/if-god-is-sovereign-why-pray-part-3/ A Ministry of Shepherds' Fellowship Sun, 01 Mar 2009 19:54:00 -0800 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9.2 hourly 1 By: kristine http://www.sfpulpit.com/2007/08/15/if-god-is-sovereign-why-pray-part-3/comment-page-1/#comment-47628 kristine Wed, 15 Aug 2007 13:12:38 +0000 http://www.sfpulpit.com/2007/08/14/if-god-is-sovereign-why-pray-part-3/#comment-47628 These two points are wonderfully and powerfully communicated.
