    Encourage teenagers to seek stillness and connection with God through contemplative prayer, despite the distractions and busyness of life.

    Today, we're gonna chat about contemplative prayer. It's like a spiritual chill-out session where you get to hang out with God. But here's the catch - you gotta make time for it. So, what's contemplation? It's like finding a quiet corner to chat with God. Even Jesus did it, sneaking off to a quiet ...read more

    In these days of chaos and confusion, Christians need to focus their minds on one encouraging and inevitable truth--The Return of Christ.

    Contemplative Prayer

    Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022
     | 1,184 views

    Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

    A short message.

    Though the phrase alone gives images of a lonely saviour on a tree, being alone can also be good. Jesus often was alone in prayer: “At once the Spirit sent [Jesus] out into the desert, and he was in the desert forty days, being tempted by Satan.
