    Have you ever seen somebody try to use a tool that they had not used before? They are clumsy and awkward at best, and they certainly do not get as good of results as someone who knows how to use that tool. Too many people go into prayer without giving any thought as to how they should pray. ...read more

    When the disciples asked Jesus to teach them to pray, in giving them a pattern for prayer He gave them some valuable prayer principles. This sermon explores some of these principles.

    A PATTERN FOR PRAYER PRAYER PRINCIPLES "When you pray, don’t be like the hypocrites who love to pray publicly on street corners and in the synagogues where everyone can see them. I tell you the truth, which is all the reward they will ever get. But when you pray, go away by yourself, shut ...read more

    God is not some kind of celestial slot machine. You don’t pop in a quarter or two’s worth of prayer, hit a button, and expect to receive exactly what you want. God is not a genie in a bottle. You don’t rub the bottle with your prayer, and expect God to

    Introduction: A fifth grade boy who had heard a sermon on persistence in prayer was praying by himself in his room one night. As his dad passed his door, he heard the boy praying over and over again, "Tokyo, Tokyo, Tokyo." The next day, the dad asked his son what we were doing. The boy replied that ...read more

    We see the hearts of Godly men - Ezra and now Nehemiah - mourning with the people for their sin and praying for the restoration of Jerusalem and the glory of God.

    Let me paint the BIG PICTURE again: • First group of returnees came back with Zerubbabel in 538BC (50K). • After much opposition from the Samaritan locals in the land, they managed to rebuild the Temple. After a gap of 57 years, Ezra came back with 2nd group (5K). • Found out that the people had ...read more

    This verse is often quoted in connection with various prayer campaigns, like National Day of Prayer and other times when we are called to seasons of prayer. We are familiar with this verse, but now let’s look at the background of this verse.

    We know that prayer is the Christians vital breath of life. How is your prayer life? How long has it been since you really dwelt in the presence of God? It can be convicting to come to the realization we have drifted, and our prayer life is not what it once was. What can we do about it? The answer ...read more

    Why receiving God’s forgiveness and extending forgiveness to others is essential to prayer.

    This last week we’ve heard a lot of rhetoric in light of September 11th’s terrorist attack on our nation. We’ve heard our president use words like "dead or alive" and punishing evil doers. We’ve heard the military’s phrase "infinite justice." We’ve been bombarded with words like hate crimes, ...read more

    Prevailing Prayer

    In times of crisis, we are to express the positive through our words and works so that we enjoy the peace of God.

    In times of crisis, like what we are experiencing right now, we usually hear, “Why worry when you can pray?” Prayer allows us to prevail over these trying times. But, frankly, we tend to worry more than pray. One of my favorite verses in the Bible on prayer is Philippians 4:6-9. “Do not be anxious ...read more

    Passing through the darkened streets of Jerusalem toward Gethsemane, Jesus prays for his disciples, a prayer that only John records. Everything we know as the gospel flows from the answers to that prayer.

    THE PROCESS OF PRAYER Luke 11:5-10 Have you ever wondered why God wants us to “pray without ceasing?” Why is it that Jesus spent such extended times in prayer, often praying alone all night before making major decisions.
