Teach Me To Pray Series

Contributed by Mark Armstrong on Apr 26, 2009

The purpose of prayer complemented by a model on how we should pray.

I hope you remember the Peanuts cartoons. One day Lucy and Linus had a chicken wishbone and were going to pull it to make a wish. Lucy was explaining to Linus that if he got the bigger half his wish would come true. Linus said to her, ‘Do I have to say the wish out loud?’  Lucy said, ‘Of course, if ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #7

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

We all understand why Paul wrote to Titus and dealt with relationships in the church.

This has always been a problem in the church. But when we get to the third chapter of Titus, Paul starts to talk to him about salvation, and this becomes a little confusing. WHY DID PAUL TALK TO TITUS ABOUT SALVATION? Why? Paul wanted to make sure that Titus preached sound doctrine concerning ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #6

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Pastors enjoy preaching about what it is like living our lives with God.

The Bible is filled with sermon material that we can draw from as we preach on this wonderful Christian life that God has blessed us with. But also the Bible gives us some passages that tell us what our life was like before we accepted the Lord Jesus as our personal Savior. Such is the case in ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #5

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

We Christians recognize that we can do very little about the leadership in our government. If we could, we would have done something a long time ago.

Someone once said in humor, “We have the best politicians that money can buy!” But what is sad about this humor, is that many times when it comes to our public officials it is the truth. Sometimes I wish we could do to our politicians what a company did to a farmer. Illus: An elderly farmer ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #4

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Good preaching and teaching INSTRUCTS, but also it MOTIVATES.

In the previous sermon, Titus 2:1-10, Paul gave Titus some good INSTRUCTIONS to give to all age levels, from the elderly to the young. In this passage of scripture, he now gives them the MOTIVATION for why they should do these things. He does this by sharing the message of grace with them. He ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #3

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

In the previous sermon in this series, in Titus 1:10-16, Paul dealt with the false teachers, and told Titus that their mouths must be stopped.

Why? Because he said the words they were preaching were damnable words that were “Subverting whole households” to go astray. One of the sad things about those who fall into false religions is that they aggressively do everything they can to convert their complete families. This is typical of the ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #2

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

I would like to remind you again that Timothy and Titus were two young ministers that Paul personally led to the Lord and trained for the ministry.

One of the needs of the church today, is for young ministers to recognize the need to work with a seasoned pastor and learn as much from him as they can. Illus: Just because a young person graduates from college and has a college diploma in his hands, the business world does not hire them as a ...read more

Teachings Of Titus #1

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Mar 24, 2022

Paul writes to Titus who is on the Island of Crete. Paul and Titus had both been on this island preaching the gospel together.

However, the book of Acts never mentions that Paul and Titus were on the Island of Crete together. This is because the book of Acts does not give a complete list of everywhere Paul went on his missionary journeys. Paul left the island of Crete, and now he is writing back to Titus to give him ...read more

Teach Us To Pray Series

Contributed by Geoffrey Foot on Aug 11, 2024

The Lord's Prayer is an integral part of our prayer life and its so easy to take it for granted - to say it without thinking what we are saying or thinking. The Lord's Prayer was the result of the disciples asking Jesus to teach them to prayer.

Sometimes we have unpleasant things we have to do. Awkward situations we would rather avoid. People we would rather not meet. Tasks we put aside and hope that they will go away. One such task is writing a difficult letter – to a friend or relative who has recently been bereaved. Where do you ...read more

Teach Us To Pray

Contributed by Dennis Fox on Jul 25, 2022

“Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” That is the first line of the first prayer I can remember being taught as a child. Like any good parent, our Father teaches us to pray just like our moms and dad did.

Teach Us To Pray 24 July 2022 Richardson TX “Now I lay me down to sleep, I pray the Lord my soul to keep.” That is the first line of the first prayer I can remember being taught.

Teach Us To Pray Series

Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 11, 2025

Following a time of prayer, one of Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. Luke records an abbreviated version of the Lord's prayer and then includes elements that encourage us to be bold in our prayer, promising provision and presence from God.

Over the last couple of sections of Luke’s gospel, we’ve considered the importance of loving God with all that we are and loving others. We’ve also reflected on the value of sitting before Jesus in order to just be with Him and learn before we get in to the practice of serving. It seems like in ...read more
