Taking Next Steps

Aug 10, 2025    Dr. Bill Shuler

What if the answers you’ve been longing for are just a prayer away—but you haven’t asked yet? In this message, Pastor Bill Shuler unpacks Jesus’ call in Matthew 7:7-12 to ask and keep on asking, seek and keep on seeking, knock and keep on knocking.


Drawing from Scripture and practical faith lessons, we’re reminded that God invites persistent prayer—not to wear Him down, but to draw us closer and align our hearts with His will.


📖 Key Themes:

✅ Why God calls us to pray with persistence

✅ How to align your prayers with God’s will

✅ Overcoming discouragement in seasons of waiting

✅ The difference between asking once and persevering in prayer

✅ Seeing prayer as a continual, relational conversation with God


If you’ve been praying for breakthrough, this message will strengthen your faith to keep knocking until His answer comes.
