    We are hearing alot these days that prayers are worthless; just meaningless platitudes. This message refutes those claims and shows through Scripture that when a Christian prays, things really do change.

    Prayer That Avails Much Scriptures: 2 Chronicles 7:12-16; James 5:13-16; Acts 12:5-10 2 Chronicles 7:12-16 says, “And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, ‘I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself for a house of sacrifice. If I shut up heaven that ...read more

    This morning we are going to learn how to pray by looking at Paul’s Practice of Prayer. We’re going to look at three keys to Paul’s prayer—his POSISION, PERSPECTIVE and PURPOSE.

    LIVING IN CHRIST – Paul’s Practice of Prayer  Ephesians 1:15-23 NIV 15 For this reason, ever since I heard about your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love for all the saints, 16 I have not stopped giving thanks for you, remembering you in my prayers. 17 I keep asking that the ...read more

    End Of Your Prayer Is The Beginning Of Your Prayer Life Series

    based on 3 ratings
     | 2,267 views

    Living a prayer life is as important as the effective prayer time we have with God. Prayer is more than a ritual, it is building a relationship with the most important being in the universe. That’s why this topic is important than all other prayer teachings.

    Our prayer life is examined by our fruitfulness in life. A sponge soaked in oil when it is squeezed spills out oil, and a sponge soaked in water, when squeezed, give out water. What goes inside comes out. If through prayer you have allowed God to work out in your life, godliness and spiritual gifts ...read more

    Do we realize that we have a wonderful gift, it is called prayer. I revamped this from a 1996 message I did.

    INTRODUCTION • How many times have we wondered why God has not blessed us in a certain way? How many times have you asked God for something from your heart only to feel that God kicked dirt in your face or that He did not hear you? • When you asked God and felt rejected, did you ever sit back and ...read more

    INTRODUCTION I’ve said on the front cover of this weeks bulletin that prayer is the highest use of the gift of speech. Words are a powerful tool. For example apparently for every word in Hitler’s book Mein Kampf, 125 people lost their lives in World War 2 (W. Wiersbe "Be Complete" p135). So words ...read more

    Something About Prayer Series

    Contributed by Leighton (Lee) Vary on Nov 7, 2016
     | 9,293 views

    No prayer is ever wasted. God hears and answers every prayer. His answer may by "No," "Yes," or "Not now." The underlying principle behind the significance of persistent prayer has to be the truth that no prayer is ever wasted effort.
