    Pray Boldly!

    Can our prayers really change an all-powerful and all-knowing God’s mind? How does prayer work? We’re going to see prayer in action as we examine a prayer offered by Abraham to the Lord. He prayed boldly and the Lord responded. What can we learn from that prayer about the prayers we offer?

    Nearly 1000 years after Abraham lived, the Lord wrote through the psalmist, “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15). The invitation was not a new one from the Lord. It was an invitation that God had extended to his people from the beginning of ...read more

    This prayer of Abraham seems to be the 1st recorded prayer in Scripture. Why did God preserve it for us, and what can we learn by how Abraham prayed?

    Prayer is not overcoming God's reluctance but laying hold of His willingness. Prayer is a dialogue. Dare to ask God for make things happen.

    Have you heard of the phrase: “One person can ONLY do so much”? • This is only true without God. With God, we have to take the word ‘ONLY’ away. “One person can do so much!” • With God’s help, one person can make a lot of difference. I came ...read more

    Here is the famous story of the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. Even those with no bible background know what we are talking about when we mention the destruction of Sodom and Gomorrah. It is the infamous fire and brimstone judgement of God passage.

    We look at the life of Abraham. His call to leave his land and family and the promise he received. He has been waiting almost 25 years for the fulfillment of that promise.
