    The importance of small group prayer

    Prayer – If Two Agree Prayer is one of the foundational practices in the Christian life, yet is probably the most neglected aspect of the Christian life. A Christian who has a weak prayer life has a weak spiritual life or will have a weakening spiritual life. There is no way to achieve the kind ...read more

    The Lord’s Prayer is more than a ritual recitation. It is a blueprint given by the Lord for prayer that is acceptable to God.

    Today, we will delve into the topic of prayer and explore the significance of the Lord's Prayer. Often, we recite this prayer without fully understanding its purpose. However, Jesus intended it to be a blueprint for our prayers, guiding us in approaching God in a way that pleases Him. Let us now ...read more

    This is the first message in a series on faith. God always answers prayer birthed by faith.

    Religion has taught us that God decides whether or not He will answer our prayers. And because we believe that teaching we often end our prayers with “if it be thy will”. In other words, “God, I’m not really sure what your will is in this situation, but I’m going to pray and if my prayer is not ...read more

    Emphasize the power and importance of prayer, encouraging believers to pray consistently and with the right motives, trusting in God's promise that our prayers are powerful and effective.

    Good morning, church family! Today, we're diving deep into the powerful world of prayer. We're talking about its might, its benefits, and the importance of never letting up. We're turning to the Bible today, specifically James 4:2-3, Matthew 7:7-11, and James 5:16. As Charles Spurgeon once said, ...read more

    The route to the experience of the presence of God is earnest desire to seek Him. God will not draw near to us if we have no thirst and hunger for His fellowship.

    INTIMACY WITH GOD: OUR SOULS’ DESPERATE NEED Psalms 42:1 “As the hart panteth after the water brooks, so panteth my soul after thee, O God” In these days of abysmal disconnect from God, the most fitting inspirational counsel is “Draw nigh to God” James 4:8.

    In this present pandemic crisis, many are pondering on these questions. I prayed to God for healing, restoration, for growth... but my prayers were not answered at least not as expected. Does God decide not to hear my prayers? Is he despising me?

    Beloved in Christ, God has given us the authority (John1:12) to become his child, whereby, to exercise the authority: to pray and to live in the fulfillment of his plan. A child of God releases healing and other deliverances from his life by the authority given by God. That same God exercises his ...read more

    The importance of unity within the church and other churches and denominations.

    We had an interesting situation last Sunday. A person from another church visited us. But this person was not here to enjoy our fellowship, rather they came to convey a message and convert us. This person handed out papers stating that a certain denomination was the only true church, and the ...read more

    A promise, based on the Word of God, that prayer will be answered - if we fulfill the conditions!

    ANSWERED PRAYER – GUARANTEED! It is a sad fact that apparently there are many people who do not have their prayers answered. It seems that the main reason is that people like to claim the promise of answered prayer without realising that there are conditions to be met! If we want to see answers ...read more
