3. First of All, Pray

The third chapter of Hear Me Now is titled “The Mark of Prayer: First of All, Pray.” The phrase First of All, Pray is well-remembered by those who attended Grace Church and who knew Pastor Jerry. He believed that prayer is the single most important thing every person can do. As Jerry developed this discipline in his own life, his teaching on prayer and his emphasis on the congregation praying together increased. This included annual preaching on prayer throughout the month of January. During this sermon, you will hear how Pastor Jerry asks everyone to wave the First of All, Pray card that was enclosed in their worship guide. Hear Me Now documents how many people still have their prayer card displayed in a prominent place.
