Prayer And The Lord's Prayer

Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 24, 2014

Matthew 6 verses 5 – 13 PRAYING and THE LORD'S PRAYER Jesus based his teachings, and advice, and especially his parables on things, events and situations, that would be instantly recognisable and understandable to the people He was addressing. So, when He said ‘When you pray, do not ...read more

A New Name

Contributed by Rodney Buchanan on Jan 5, 2003

As we think about the new year, we need to see that: 1. God is always doing a new thing. 2. Only God can bring about real change. 3. God’s new name for us means a new beginning.
