    Sometimes as believers we neither know what to pray or how to pray. In this study of Paul’s prayer to the Ephesians we learn both.

    Live Out Loud – Our PRAYER May 12, 2007 Ephesians 4:14-21 Funny: I can only begin to imagine the strange requests that God hears. I recently heard about a lady who had a parrot that she taught to be spiritual and so the parrot would always say, “Awwk! Let us pray. Let’s pray.” She met a ...read more

    Some people think that the only reason to pray is to cause a change in our own thinking. But the Bible teaches that prayer can make a difference in what God does, and that prayer can also have an effect on our circumstances.

    Even as I’m concerned about people who misunderstand the purpose of prayer, I’m also concerned about those who do understand, but who seem to pray with no expectation of God honoring prayers or acting on our behalf.

     | 5,033 views

    Paul began chapter 2 with a command to all people to make prayer a priority and to do so by praying for everyone with all kinds of prayer. Then in verse 8, he gave a specific command to the men to lead the congregation by lifting up holy hands in prayer.

    We have access to resources far more powerful than the internet. Yet, we choose instead to trust our wisdom and our ability.

    Technology can be an amazing instrument when we need help. I needed to install a new cabin filter in my car and I wanted to make sure I did it correctly. So, I searched YouTube and it gave me step by step instructions of how to do it. Through the internet, we have pretty much a direct line to ...read more

    Childlike Prayer Series

     | 28,434 views

    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?

    I'd like you to recite the Lord’s Prayer with me: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, ...read more
