Ask and You Shall Receive: What Did Jesus Really Mean?

Speaker: Troy Phelps

Date: 2/14/26

This message examines Jesus’ promises about prayer and challenges the modern “manifesting” mindset that subtly teaches we can control outcomes through belief or words. True faith is not certainty in an outcome, but trust in God’s character and a willingness to pray boldly while yielding completely to His will.

Troy serves as pastor for the congregations in Petaluma and San Francisco Bay Area, California.
