What Have They Done For You Lately
Contributed by Brian Harvison on Oct 4, 2023 (message contributor)
I heard an illustration from Pastor Tony Evans that I altered some to fit us here in Arkansas
• We love our Razorbacks, we make time for our Razorbacks
• Especially Razorback football
• Me and my wife love football
• But, have you ever thought about how much time we devote to football?
• The average NCAA football game lasts an average of 3 hours and 15 minutes
• But did you know that in that 3 hrs. 15 min, there is usually only about 15 minutes of actual gameplay?
• The majority of the game is consumed by coaches talking, referees standing, walking and arguing
• TV commercials take almost an hour by themselves
• You spend 2 hours listening to the hosts talking with the analysts
• Now, if you actually go to a home game, in Fayetteville
• Oh my goodness
• 2 hour drive there and 2 hours back
• You get there 30 minutes early
• It takes 45 minutes to leave, because of the traffic
• So 4 hrs. drive time, 3 hrs. 15 min game time 30 min early and 45 min to leave…4 plus 45… carry the 2
• That’s 8.5 hours for one game
• Then the next day you spend all day talking about it with your buddies at work
• Then you start looking forward to next week’s game
• Let me ask you this
• What have the Razorbacks done for you lately?
• But I know somebody that will give you what you ask
• Somebody who will show you what you are seeking
• Somebody who will open the door and accept you
• Somebody that says all these things shall be added unto you
• If I can get your undivided attention in relationship under My rule, My kingdom
• Instead of asking what this world can provide
• Instead of seeking desires and pleasures of this world
• Instead of knocking on every door of opportunity that comes before us
• We need to seek His kingdom and righteousness FIRST!
• The King of kings will provide all our needs

People seem to be afraid of silence. They do anything to fill their lives with noise and avoid the emptiness. But God says "Be still and know that I am God." What can that mean to us and how can we go about doing it?

Childlike Prayer Series
Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2016
A lot of people think if they just had the right "formula" for praying that God would hear them. But that's not true. God's not impressed with your form, He's impressed with your childlike faith in prayer. So, how can I have that kind of faith in prayer?
