    The first in a series corresponding to a 40 Days of Prayer campaign. This message focuses on the power found in prayers of utter desperation.

    (Video Clip – “It’s a Wonderful Life”, George’s Prayer of Desperation) Poor George. It’s a Wonderful Life, but George is at the end of his rope. Desperate, he admits he is not a praying man. Still he asks, that if God is there, to show him the way. Not that unusual of a circumstance. Whether ...read more

     | 367 views

    1 of 2. Paul encouraged Timothy as a 'good soldier' of Christ Jesus. The level of commitment needed, for a believer to fulfill their calling in Christ, is comparable to that of a good soldier. BUT...What rules does a ‘good soldier’ live by?

    In the words of Bill Hybels, we are too busy NOT to spend time alone with God. It speaks to those who may have found their prayer time empty and why that may be.

    If we want to go beyond the norm into the realm of the supernatural we must PRAY the price.

    Contributed by Thomas Black on Feb 2, 2005
    based on 11 ratings
     | 4,266 views

    This is the first 1/2 of a two part sermon addressing the link between God’s sovereignty to act without us and his requirement that we pray so that he can act.

    I think in the last year we’ve learned much about what it means to pray. True enough most of our prayers are for healing and comfort but we certainly have been learning to pray by practicing I think. But praying, by definition is speaking to God, worshiping God, Thanking God, or imploring God to ...read more

    We can pray confidently. God loves to answer our prayers and can because Jesus Christ opens the Throne Room to us.

    If I did a survey of the people in this room today about the way you pray, I would most likely discover some common things -- – the majority of you wish you knew how to pray more effectively, and – many of you would admit to praying hardly at all. I was well into my ...read more

    Bold Hospitality Series

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,985 views

    In our series on Stewardship we focused on many issues, one of them being hospitality and its role in the life of the church. God is a hospitable God and in our imitation of him it makes logical sense to include hospitality in our personal ministries.

    BOLD HOSPITALITY As we conclude our series on Stewardship we want to look at one final aspect of managing the good gifts God has given to us. Hospitality is an important part of ministering to others with what we have. If you watch Corner Gas, Canada’s only homegrown successful sit-com, you ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 7,795 views

    When praying for God’s will and kingdom to come, we are actually asking God to use us. We submit to his authority.

Luke’s gospel tells us he “often withdrew to lonely places and prayed (Luke 5:16).” Prayer was Jesus’ regular practice, but what did Jesus pray? We ...read more
