    Why did Jesus give us this prayer?”

    Who has been watching the Olympics this week? There was a lot of excitement around the newest event, snow-board-cross. We do like new things, don’t we. Even the winter Olympics themselves are, in a way, new. The Ancient Greeks didn’t ski, or ice skate. In fact, the first 13 Olympiads featured only ...read more

    Why Are We Praying For God’s Will If It Always Happens Anyway? Series

    Contributed by Jim Butcher on Apr 29, 2025
     | 733 views

    Many presume that everything that happens is God's will. That's not true. What does it look like to pray that God's will would start to be done here on earth as it is done in heaven?

    WHY PRAY THIS? This is a prayer because it isn’t happening much now. - Matthew 6:10. - So in this fourth part of the sermon, Jesus calls us to pray for God’s will to be done. - But, wait, isn’t that already happening all the time? We hear people constantly speak that whatever happened was God’s ...read more

    Why Praying Is Difficult

    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 11, 2026
     | 356 views

    Why don’t we pray? Or, if we do pray, why do we often feel guilty that we aren’t praying as frequently, or as much, or as fervently as we should? What’s holding us back? This sermon examines five reasons that we struggle with prayer, and how to overcome them.

    This morning, I’d like to talk with you about a spiritual discipline which is at the core of the Christian life. This is something which everyone acknowledges is important, and valuable, and rewarding. We all agree that it’s a good thing. And yet, we may also hope that no one inquires too closely ...read more

    "Knocking On Heaven's Door"

    Contributed by David Henderson on Oct 26, 2018
     | 9,863 views

    There’s nothing that reveals more about a believer than his/her prayer life. How we approach God of what we’re willing to ask for shows how we view God. It is very similar to how a child will make a request of their father.

    PRAYER THAT OPENS DOORS "Knocking on Heaven’s Door" Matthew 7:7-11 Let me start with a question this morning. What is the single biggest prayer request you have ever made? What is the biggest answer you have ever asked God for? • Perhaps it was for healing for yourself or for another family ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 3,215 views

    What should we do when we don’t feel worthy to come to God? What should we do when we come face to face with our own failures? The problem is that we don’t want to come to Jesus when we feel dirty.

    Purpose: To describe what godly repentance is. Aim: I want the listener to pray properly when they sin. INTRODUCTION: We have all failed God. We have all felt like failures. What should we do when we come face to face with our own failures? Jesus said we should come to Him: Matthew 11:28-30 28 ...read more

    Do you long for an intimacy with God. This sermon compares the intimacy of a married couple with that of man and God through prayer.

    July 13th, 2003 THE RESTORING OF OUR INTIMACY WITH GOD Through Prayer I can’t tell you how many sermons I’ve heard and done on prayer.

    You cannot know that God answers helpless prayers until you are in a helpless and hopeless situation. Only then will you come to know God as the God who answers helpless prayers.

    Tonight we’re talking about the power of helpless praying and what happens when we understand what God can do through our prayers.
