    How God Answers Prayer

    Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Dec 31, 2010
    based on 14 ratings
     | 17,891 views

    Always remember, God’s delays are not God’s denials! Sometimes God denies the original request, to give you something better and greater to make you grow for His glory.

    Intro: A small child wrote to a missionary the following note: “Dear Mr. Missionary, we are praying for you but we don’t know if God will answer.” This prayer reflects the prayers of most Christians who pray a lot but actually doubt answers! When and how does God answer? To get an answer from God, ...read more

Okay, so let's jump into the passage for today: Exodus 20:13 "You shall not murder. We will spend a little time talking about this ...read more

    This text reminds us that our goal in life should be neither reaching high ground nor good ground, but rather holy ground; woe be unto us if we use elevation and wealth as substitutes for being holy.

    Moses was keeping the flock of his father-in-law Jethro, the priest of Midian; he led his flock beyond the wilderness, and came to Horeb, the mountain of God. 2There the angel of the Lord appeared to him in a flame of fire out of a bush; he looked, and the bush was blazing, yet it was not consumed. ...read more

    God’s desire is that we would be transformed into the image of Jesus, bearing the fruit of the Spirit in our lives. This happens as we engage in the spiritual disciplines.

    TRANSFORMATION #1: EXPERIENCING SPIRITUAL GROWTH OPENING QUOTE: “How do I grow? What does a spiritually mature person even look like? Will I ever really be any different? … The Christian gospel insists that transformation… really is possible. Never easy. Rarely quick. But possible… It begins to ...read more

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 14, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,642 views

    A short sermon looking at the point of parables to get people to think about the message of Jesus, and a call to us to be ’yeast’ in God’s hands.

    I was chatting to David Lowman – the Archdeacon of Southend – this week. We were talking about ‘preaching’ – for example length of sermon, quality of sermon, and the coherence of sermons. David said that sometimes he goes to a Church and preaches and people say, “Thank you. I could hear every word ...read more
