And we’re gonna pick up the story today with a look back at the story that we looked at a couple of weeks ago with Hannah and Samuel. ...read more

    At least part of this lesson is adapted from a Jerry Shirley lesson entitled, "A True Baby Dedication." This lesson reminds us of the need to dedicate/return our children to the God who has given them to us.

    1. Our Baby Dedication brings to mind a practical question: Parents, have you considered returning your children to God? a. A Frustrated dad says, “I didn’t know that was possible. I thought He had a no return policy.” b. Bill Cosby’s routine in which he told his kids ...read more

    How God frustrated Hannah by closing her womb until His appointed time for her to birth Samuel for His purposes. God can inspire and use our frustrations to position us for greater use by Him by surrendering to Him what He brings out of us like He used S

    Divine Orchestration of Frustration Key Points: 1. Your frustration may not necessarily be a bad thing 2. Your frustration may not be caused by what you think; it may be Divinely Inspired 3.

    God hears our cries and He will fight for you.

    I was walking home elementary school when I encountered one of my many fights as a younger man. The weekend before, my family and I, went to the drive-in to see one of my favorite actors, Bruce Lee in “The Last Dragon”. It was a normal occurrence for me to act out the movie with my friends as if I ...read more

    The Sacrifice Of Silence: How Men Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Aug 4, 2009
    based on 6 ratings
     | 4,882 views

    Men can pray in their own way by doing what they know is right to do, by listening to the Lord as well as speaking, and by holding others and God Himself accountable to keep promises.

    The young Australian pastor had just received his first assignment. It was to a remote sheep-ranching settlement deep in the Australian outback. He had arrived during a period of prolonged drought, and was making pastoral calls to his far-flung flock of ranchers, who were trying to keep their ...read more

    Persistence In The Presence: How Women Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on May 22, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,487 views

    Women succeed in pray because they persist in trusting God, allow the whole self to pray, take God at His word, are not afraid of intensity, choose responsibility over religion, and keep their commitments.

    If, as Thomas Edison tells us, genius is one per cent inspiration and ninety-nine per cent perspiration, then I suspect it is also true that prayer is one per cent insistence and ninety-nine per cent persistence. Prayer is one per cent insistence, to be sure; we do, in our prayers, tell God what ...read more

    When You Give Your Child Back to God You Commit to Raise Your Kids God’s Way. Your children are not your toys to play with and enjoy life with. They belong to God and when you give your child back to God.

    The Bible tells us that God closed up Hannah’s womb. Really? Would He do that, or was this the kind of comment where we call something an "act of God?"

    Real Mothers are special people. Real mothers would like to be able to eat a whole candy bar (all by themselves) and drink a Coke without any "floaters" in it. Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy ...read more
