Well, actually due to time constraints this mainly focused on prayer. Prayer is VITAL, and I am realising that my own prayer life is only scraping the surface.<\/p>\n

Last Sunday Tope Koleoso<\/a>, the pastor of Jubilee Church London, preached this, his first sermon back after a four week break over the summer. He didn\u2019t totally rest over the summer, having gone to Zimbabwe on a preaching trip. He was provoked by that trip, and really let rip in his preaching to us as a result. If you have ever watched one of Tope\u2019s sermons, watch this one. If you have never watched one of Tope\u2019s sermons, then you don\u2019t know what you are missing so watch this one too! I dare you to watch this challenging sermon. I dare you more to live life differently as a result.<\/p>\n
