    Not all prayer is effective, but the prayer of the righteous is powerful and effective.

    The Bible teaches that not all praying is effective. • Those who pray while they cherish sin in their hearts will find that God doesn’t listen to that prayer. (Psalm 66:18) • Those who pray to be seen by men will not receive the reward of answered prayer because their reward is to be seen by ...read more

    If God answers all prayers, then why do we sometimes not get what we ask for?

    JAMES 5:13-20 “Answered Prayer” By: Rev. Kenneth Emerson Sauer, Pastor of Parkview United Methodist Church, Newport News, VA I’ve heard a lot about answered prayer over the past week and a half. Many have said, “I thank God that the hurricane was not as bad as it could have been.” “We ...read more

    Paul loved the church at Philippi and was committed to praying for them. We need to share the same commitment to pray for the church. There are real people with real needs, that need specific prayers.

    A Prayer of Purpose Philippians 1: 9-11 Following a gracious greeting and a word of thankfulness for their partnership in ministry, Paul offers a brief, but pointed prayer for the church in Philippi. Although his prayer is but three sentences long, it possesses great wisdom and reveals the heart ...read more

    God values perseverance very highly. Why?

    You and I live in an era of unprecedented speed. Technologically, the pace of change is almost beyond comprehension.

    Many of you are praying for a better life and if God were to grant you your request, you would quickly become overconfident. And you would quickly move to spiritual indifference. Some of you are praying against THE VERY circumstances that God has arranged so you would better experience Him.

    I want to introduce you to a way you can pray for your believing friends to experience revival. Many of you enjoy speaking to your parents as often as you like. I was part of a funeral this week for a good man, a husband, and a father. He had been a member of this church for over twenty years and ...read more

    Learn to persevere in prayer - "pull" by the hope we have in Christ, and keep up the "push" in faith.

    How do you normally approach God? Do we come to Him with determination and passion? Or as someone whom we turn to only when it’s convenient? To drop Him a line only when we can? The way we approach Him reveals a lot about ourselves – do I really need Him? How much do I really depend on Him? Do ...read more

    The Bible is full of verses that say that we should be praying. How many believers are praying? Prayer is communication between you and God, and when you are not involved communication Is broken.

    1) Hurry! 2) Halt! 3) Help! Isaiah models how we can patiently wait for the coming of the Messiah.

    Waiting. No one likes to do it. Coffee addicts don’t like having to wait for their morning cup to brew. Kids don’t like having to wait for their birthday to come. And no one likes waiting at the hospital emergency room. That’s the worst isn’t it? The fact that you’re ...read more

    This sermon encourages the congregation to embrace the new year by praying continually, trusting in God's promises, and actively participating in His work.

    Good morning, family of faith. As we gather here today, I am reminded of the words of the great theologian, J.I. Packer, who once said, "Once you become aware that the main business that you are here for is to know God, most of life's problems fall into place of their own accord." Today, we're here ...read more
