     | 14,993 views

    I doubt there’s a person here who hasn't had a dark night experience when God didn’t seem to hear your desperate cry for help or answers. Worse than that it seemed he broke contact with you and you felt dreadfully alone.

    “When God Seems Silent” Exodus 32:1-7 (The Message) The story is told of six WWII Navy pilots who left their aircraft carrier on a mission. After searching for enemy submarines, they tried to return to their ship shortly after dark. But the captain ordered a blackout of all lights on ...read more

    Prayer-Works Series

    Contributed by Dale Pilgrim on Feb 16, 2008
    based on 4 ratings
     | 11,216 views

    Why ‘work’ instead of ‘activity’ of prayer or ‘picnic’ of prayer? Why does ‘prayer concert’, or ‘prayer vigil’ sound so gray and bland? The answer is obvious. Prayer is hard work! It is rewarding; it is life-changing; but it is hard.

    We continue today on our topic, “Learning to serve in a Service-less Age”, more specifically looking at “The refurbished Life”. God refurbishes our lives, in part, through “The Habit of Prayer”. I confess my struggle with this topic. It is complex yet simple. So complex that we will not even begin ...read more

    While there are basic competancies that promote an emotionally healthy spirituality, there are also competancies that help us move outside of ourselves. Without getting outside of ourselves we will stunt our growth emotionally and spiritually.

    How can we re-imagine worship in this time of Corona Virus? Looking at the earliest Christians and how they invented their worship from scratch, what can we learn? What do we look at and go "I miss that", and what do we look at and go "we could learn from that"?
