Ask Seek Knock
Now in a 7-week teaching series on prayer called A. S. K. (Ask Seek Knock) from Matthew 7:7, “Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.”
In honor of this verse from God’s Word, let’s pray together at 7:07 AM and 7:07 PM. Set your alarm and ask, seek, and knock, and watch our loving Father answer His children.
