He sat down with liars, cheats, prostitutes, rich and poor, outcasts and leaders alike. What would you learn if you got to sit down and have dinner with Jesus?

Tired of playing it safe? This 6-week series will inspire us to pray boldly. To pray powerfully. To pray unselfishly. We will see how to pray prayers that search our souls, break our spirits, and send us in pursuit of God’s calling for our lives. Be warned: they are dangerous prayers. They are prayers of courage, not comfort. Prayers that test and challenge us. Prayers that cause us to take a long, hard look at our hearts. But prayers that move the heart of God and open the door for God’s blessings in our lives! “The earnest prayer of a righteous person has great power and produces wonderful results” (James 5:16).
