    A Heart Of Prayer

    Contributed by Nate Herbst on Mar 7, 2009
    based on 5 ratings
     | 5,259 views

    The object of prayer is not the point of prayer - the fellowship with God is and it is in that fellowship, that co-laboring with Christ in prayer, that God works.

    Those who do not believe do not pray. This is a good functional definition of faith. Faith prays, unbelief does not. - John Hardin How should we pray?
 Follow Jesus’ example - Lk.5:16, 6:12.

    No one is impressed with the guy who registers for a marathon. But no matter where a person finishes a marathon, it is impressive. Same with God. It is not impressive to start well, only to finish well.

    Baggage

    The first message as the full-time speaker at a church where I had previously been filling in, preached the first Sunday after a move. Autobiographical, allegorical, and life-applicable.

    Hebrews 12:1-3 – Baggage Let me tell you something right from the start: we hate moving. I know we only moved less than 10 minutes away, but that didn’t make things radically different from moving away. Sure, we used several pick-up trucks instead of a U-Haul, and we made several ...read more

Whether you are the pastor or a missionary or just the guy who gives out the hymn books each meeting, the cost of following Jesus is the same for us all. And from the Scriptures we ...read more
