Lord Teach Us To Pray - Part One

Contributed by J. Yeargin on Nov 13, 2006

David’s life is an example for all of us not just with his experiences in life, but (as well) his experiences in prayer. If there was anyone in the Bible who really understood the ups and downs of prayer it had to have been David.

If you remember, King Saul had been told the Word of God by the prophet Samuel. But King Saul disobeyed Samuel and the Word of the Lord. The result was ...read more

Saul's Fatal Flaws; A Man With A Worldly Heart

Contributed by Billy Ricks on Oct 13, 2007
