    Prayer was important to Jesus, and as followers of Christ, we should follow His example.

    Ever wonder how Jesus did all the amazing things He did? Besides being God's Son, He was always praying. If it was a big deal for Jesus, it should be a big deal for us too. Imagine you're playing a video game. You're on the final boss level, and it's tough. But then, you find a power-up. It gives ...read more

    The early church was devoted to teaching, fellowship, breaking bread, and prayer. They gathered regularly, which had a profound impact on their lives. We too can experience this impact by developing the habit of gathering with other believers.

    Let's talk about habits - the good, the bad, and the weird. Habits are like the auto-pilot of our lives. Did you know it takes about 66 days to form a new habit? Habits are all about cravings and rewards. What if we craved hanging out with our friends, praying more, and really getting the Bible? ...read more

    Something happens when people gather together to pray. The early church experienced this in a mighty way and they witnessed astounding miracles because they prayed together. Only when families and churches pray together will we be able to see a revival in these last days.

    For our meditation I have chosen Act 4:31,“And when they had prayed, the place in which they were assembled was shaken; and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit, and they spoke the Word of God with boldness.” (AFV) It is a fact that whenever we as a church gather and pray together, there will ...read more
