In this sermon Trading The Superficial For The Substantial, Are we going to trade the superficial for the substantial? Is this a church that is going to live on “corn”? We not only need the “corn” of sacrifice, we must have the “corn” of prayer.  We must be a praying church.  The programs can slide, the activities can cease, and all the trappings that come with church life can stop but cannot afford to quit praying. Prayer is a lifeline of power for the Apostolic church.  Prayer is not easy in fact prayer is a great life-long struggle.  The more American we are the more things compete for our prayer times.
