    Theme of this message is intercessory prayer.

    We started a few weeks ago talking about some of the things that it takes to serve God. We have found out so far that it takes courage to serve God.

     | 274 views

    Are our prayers pleasing to God? What are the things that we ask God for when we go to Him in prayer? May our prayers be faith-filled and our petitions in accordance with God’s will so that our prayers are pleasing and acceptable to God.

    Our meditation for today is based on Ephesians 5:10, “Try to learn what pleases the Lord.” (ERV) The above mentioned verse exhorts us to find out what are those things that are pleasing to God, and to lead such kind of lives that God would delight in. It is an unchanging fact that God loves us, ...read more

    Isaiah demonstrates a very unique position in chapters 63 and 64 as he pleads with God to hear, forgive, and rescue His people. Why? Because he knew that there is no way we (as a creation) could be forgiven without God’s (the Creator's) direct intervention.

    A talk on prayer preached at St Christophers Hanwell 28 July 2025, at a Cafe Communion service - where people sit around tables and the sermon is inevitably quite interactive.

    INTRO “one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray, as John taught his disciples” [Luke 11:1] Martin Luther, the 16th Century reformer, was once asked much time he spent in prayer. “An hour a day” he said. “But what about if you are really busy?” “If I am really busy I have to spend ...read more

    Elijah provides a great example of how God uses prayer to change our lives.

    It has been said about prayer that “Prayer doesn’t change God, it changes me.” Indeed, God uses prayer to teach us some things about ourselves to reveal things to us that can change our lives for the better. This is what God used prayer to do for Elijah. Through prayer, God changed Elijah from ...read more

    Nehemiah 1: His First Prayer Series

     | 996 views

    The Book of Nehemiah has more than some people realize. This series focuses on the recorded prayers of Nehemiah as he, a Persian royal official, served the LORD God of Israel.

    Introduction: The Book of Nehemiah is one that hasn’t been studied very often, as far as I know. There are some exceptions: Dr. Charles R. Swindoll wrote a book called “Hand Me Another Brick” a number of years ago, focusing on various aspects of Nehemiah’s life, times, and deeds. When I lived in ...read more

     | 1,579 views

    There are times when we as believers simply cannot utter a spoken or verbal prayer. Nehemiah faced a similar situation when he could only pray silently. The LORD heard that prayer and answered.

    Introduction: The first chapter of Nehemiah has the record of how he, a Jew in service of the Persian king, heard news about Jerusalem. It wasn’t good news and it drove Nehemiah to his knees, figuratively speaking, and he recorded one of the greatest prayers in the Old Testament. The news was ...read more

     | 92 views

    The Apostle Paul, in this passage, emphasizes the importance of approaching our leaders and the challenges we face through a lens of faith and supplication.

    In moments of political tension and societal unrest, we are called not to retreat into division or despair, but to rise with purpose and unity. 1 Timothy 2:1–7 urges us to lead with prayer, an act of strength, not passivity. It reminds us that our greatest influence begins not in the halls of ...read more
