     | 7,592 views

    In Colossians 4, Paul provides believers with a three-point battle plan for a successful and satisfying prayer life.

    The Battle Plan (1) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 4/3/2016 There was a pastor who had a pet parrot. All the parrot would say was, “Let’s kiss. Let’s kiss.” The pastor tried to teach him to say other things but to no avail. He learned that one of his deacons had a parrot. ...read more

    This sermon encourages us to remember God's past provisions, pray for His present power, and promise future faithfulness, using Samuel's Ebenezer as a reminder.

    Welcome, beloved family of God. We are here together, nestled under the wings of His grace, gathered in the unity of His love, and ready to be nourished by His Word. Indeed, our hearts are like fertile soil, yearning for the seeds of wisdom and understanding to be sown. We are like the tree planted ...read more

    Are you really thankful?

    Thanksgiving The third letter in our acronym ACTS stands for Thanks or Thanksgiving. The reason for many Christians being so ungrateful may relate back to the first two letters. If we are not confessing and adoring God we are not going to be thankful for what we have received and will not ...read more

     | 5,072 views

    Series on men and women’s prayers in the Bible made a difference and how prayer truly is a difference maker in our lives. I borrowed the outlines from SermonCentral Pro Contributor Tim Byrd.

    Pharisee: The Presumptuous Prayer. Luke 18:9-18:14 A Preacher dies and is standing in line, waiting outside the Pearly Gates. He is standing there patiently, wearing his best suit and tie, dressed like he is ready to preach his Sunday morning sermon. In line just ahead of him is a guy wearing ...read more

    When you think of prayer do you think of those public prayers that people make. Do you compare yourself with those who give wonderful lengthy prayers? The importance should not be put on your public prayer life.

    This message is based on Jonah’s prayer in Jonah 2 and reminds us of our need to return to God when we’ve run from Him.

    “3 POWERFUL PRAYERS – JONAH” Jonah 2 INTRO - A little girl was observed by her pastor standing outside the preschool Sunday School classroom between Sunday School and worship, waiting for her parents to come and pick her up for "big church."

    We all have circumstances in our lives when we feel that there is no way out. King David experienced similar feelings.

    “ROLL-OVER PRAYER” Psalm 69 Have you ever come close to drowning (or at least THOUGHT you were drowning)? I can remember as a young boy, swimming in a big tire tube as it rolled over and pushed my face into the water so that I could not raise my head. I could not move forward or ...read more

    Prayer Keys - Sincerity Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Dec 15, 2011
     | 10,670 views

    Prayer keys are not ways of manipulating God. Rather, they are like a boat hook. If I am in a row boat and cast a hook to shore, does pulling move the shore to me or does it move me to the shore? Prayer keys do not pull God to our will. They pull us to Go

    “These people come near to me with their mouth & honor me with their lips, but their hearts are far from me. Their worship of me is made up only of rules taught by men.” Isaiah 29:13 Before saying anything else to introduce sincerity as a prayer key, I want to repeat something about ...read more

    God Answers Prayers

    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,525 views

    God has an avalanche; so many different kinds of answers to prayers in His hand. Even though there are uncountable number of people knocking at His door for answers, God never runs out of answers or gets tired of giving answers.

    An Avalanche of Answers One of the benefits of coming to God is that you can’t come to God and go back empty handed. When we come to God, we receive answers to our prayers. Psalm 65:2 says, “O You who hear prayer, to You all flesh will come.” Some other versions say “You who answer, to You all ...read more

    Humble Confidence In Prayer

    How can we be both humble AND bold when we pray? Isn’t the concept of being both humble and bold contradictory?

    Humble Confidence in Prayer Gen 18:25-27; Luk 18:9-14; 1Joh 5:14-15 Introduction Good morning, church family!

    Something About Prayer Series

     | 9,303 views

    No prayer is ever wasted. God hears and answers every prayer. His answer may by "No," "Yes," or "Not now." The underlying principle behind the significance of persistent prayer has to be the truth that no prayer is ever wasted effort.

    I. Introduction A. Three men worked in the Empire State Building on the 102nd floor. One day the elevator was out of service, so they had to walk up to their office. To pass the time, they decided that one would sing a song, one would tell a joke, and the third would tell a sad story - each ...read more

    September 1989: We can work through our feelings to victory if we are totally honest with God about what we feel, and then if we are able to praise Him joyfully when we are released.

    1. Prayer is an act of worship. 2. Prayer is an expression of the soul. 3. Prayer is a relationship.

    In the Scripture we have just read, Jesus tells the story of two men who went to church to pray. One was a well known sinner, and the other was a well respected religious leader. Jesus interjects some humor when he says that the religious man was praying “about” himself. Another way to ...read more
