    Effectiveness in prayer is more than a matter of volume. We pray in the context of our relationship with God. We learn to align ourselves with the will of God so that we are partnering with him rather than trying to persuade him. This message teaches how to pray in faith for results.

    Intro In this message we will review five keys to answered prayer. When we make our requests to God, we are not just fulfilling a religious duty. We are interacting with our Heavenly Father concerning a perceived need. Our petition is not effective until we either get the answer or get counsel from ...read more

    For many of us, our life never seems to have experienced any newness, Though we have stepped into a new year, It's been a similar experience each and every year. The expectations and enthusiasm we have at the end of the year slowly disappear as there are no exceptional things happening. ...read more

    What the lives of individual followers of Christ are saying about Christ and the church to the world around them.

    Recently we were thinking about getting a new church sign. The old one doesn’t communicate well. It’s not only out of date, it just doesn’t stand out. The impression it makes doesn’t create curiosity and interest in our church to passers by. Made me think about our lives as believers in Christ. ...read more
