A sermon by Rev. Rebecca White Newgren at Second Congregational UCC / First Presbyterian PCUSA Church of Rockford, Illinois

“If you don’t ask for your needs, and your hopes, and your dreams, you keep the door closed for God to act. So ask… Ask God for all your needs, in Jesus’ name. Ask God for everything you hope for, in Jesus’ name. Ask God for the desires of your heart, in Jesus’ name… Jesus is waiting to bless you with more than you could ever hope or imagine… Ask.” -Rev. Rebecca White Newgren
