     | 5,197 views

    A sermon on prayer from the book of Acts (Much material taken from Jerry Paul's sermon called "Restore New Testament Prayer" http://www.thecra.org/avitems.htm under 2006 Symposium)

    Jesus did not call us to an easy, comfortable life, but one of challenge and opposition, and possibly even suffering and death. He gives us forgiveness of sin and eternal life, but requires us to take up our cross as we follow him.

    Jesus would have fallen foul of the Health and Safety laws if he had been around today, and I imagine it would have been hard for him to advertise on TV. Just imagine someone saying today: ‘Come and follow me, and the chances are you will be spat upon, thumped, sworn at, and maybe ...read more
