    God hears the prayers of those who live honestly, with lives free of deceit.

    David comes to God praying that God hears his prayer because he speaks truth. Speaking the truth is a “prayer formula” that even those who don’t serve God know. Everybody knows the mouth must not speak deceit, flatter, or lies if the mouth wants to speak to God. But this ...read more

    Jesus clearly knew God’s will, and yet he had intense angst and the deep feeling of despair that came from actually obeying God’s will. This sermon is intended to equip you for those moments where DOING God’s will, is really really hard.

    If you’ve been around Christian circles for any length of time, there is a considerable amount of frustration in trying to determine God’s will. For some, it’s because we love the Lord and want to please him, so we want to make sure we’re making right choices that would honor him. But for others, ...read more
