Description

When someone you love is struggling and you don't know what to say to God, this sermon shows how to pray for others. Intercessory prayer means asking God to act on someone else's behalf, and Jesus came to earth to do exactly that for us. Romans 8 says the Spirit helps us when we don't know what to pray, so you don't need perfect words to start. In this sermon, preached in 2021 as the last message in a two-month series on prayer, Pastor Kaloma Smith of UAMEZ Church in Palo Alto, California preaches on Romans 8:26-28 and shows how prayer can grow from your own circle to your community and the world.
