Devotionals on Evangelism, Christ, and Prayer

Today we are presenting three topical devotionals written by JB Nicholson. We talk about the first, Seed Thoughts, and the many ways it equips and inspires us for evangelism. The second, Christ All And In All, takes up 365 unique things about the Lord Jesus and brings it into the forefront and we talk about why this is so important for the believer to do regularly. Finally, Petition Mission, looks at the prayers in the Bible. The exciting thing about these prayers are that they are all pre-approved!
