     | 6,146 views

    Prayer is important not only to God but for us. There are many roadblocks and obstacles to an effective prayer life. Good prayer is not a "spare tire mentality" but "a steering wheel!"

The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. EFFECTUAL: producing the desired ...read more

    The question is not where is the God of Elijah! The question is where are the Elijah's of God. Hurt and disappointments seem to limit our spiritual vision. Look at Jeremiah C. Lanphier

    Are we putting anyone off God?

    “Father Mund, If someone didn’t know you were a vicar and didn’t know you went to church, how would they know you were a Christian?” “Father Mund - have you ever said or done something that would have put someone off becoming a Christian?” “Father Mund, have you ever stopped someone from doing ...read more

    James 5 Pray Smart Series

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 21, 2018
     | 8,275 views

    I first titled this message “Pray right” but I changed my topic because it’s about “praying smart” – we need to be using the wisdom of God to pray the smart way which then touches the heart of God and eventually our hearts!

    Video: Prayer Series: James – Let’s do it! Thesis of Book: The message of the book is “Let’s do it – live the faith – put it into action! The half-brother of Jesus is speaking to the scattered Jewish Christians across the nations – they were scattered right after Stephen was killed. James tells ...read more

    Pray With Expectancy Series

     | 15,355 views

    Prayer that Works takes work, along with persistence, risk, and righteousness before God. In this sermon, we're going to try to close the gap between what we say about prayer and what we practice.

    Good morning. I invite you to turn in your copy of God’s Word to James chapter 5, but also to put a bookmark in 1 Kings chapter 18, because we are going to spend some time there as well. The story is told of the western town that had experienced a hard drought. One of the local churches announced ...read more

     | 3,794 views

    In this series, we will look at what the early church did when they gathered together and why it is important for us to never give up meeting together.

    I. When the church gathered together devoting themselves to these four elements, they were filled with awe. They saw the power of God in signs and wonders. They became extremely generous and kind. And the church grew exponentially. II. They devoted themselves to prayer. Why do we need to ...read more

    Many think that as older they get into Christianity now God will do everything before even they have been asked. Instead of increasing in prayer life, we decrease slowly.

    This is one of the very vast subjects in the Bible. To sum it up in 30-40 mins. is like an injustice to the topic. Many think that as older they get into Christianity now God will do everything before even they have been asked. Instead of increasing in prayer life, we decrease slowly. What was the ...read more

    As a young man I missed the point. I always said: LORD TEACH ME HOW TO PRAY... That is not what the disciples said: THEY SAID: LORD TEACH ME TO PRAY. Often, when all is said about prayer, more is said than done?

    The greatest tragedy of life is not unanswered prayers but unoffered prayer. It is those who travail in prayer that will prevail in life! God is calling us to pray. Get ready to be celebrated.

    Thoughts And Prayers Matter

     | 12,293 views

    In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and many Christians are repeating “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.” Could it be that they, like many Christians, don’t truly understand prayer and what it can accomplish?

    In 2015, after a shooter left 14 dead in California, the cover of the New York Daily News shouted “God Isn’t Fixing This! As the latest batch of innocent Americans are left lying in pools of blood, cowards (referring to politicians) who could truly end gun scourge continue to hide behind ...read more

    Prayers That Avail Much

    Contributed by Rodney V Johnson on Aug 25, 2019
     | 13,449 views

    We are hearing alot these days that prayers are worthless; just meaningless platitudes. This message refutes those claims and shows through Scripture that when a Christian prays, things really do change.

    Prayer That Avails Much Scriptures: 2 Chronicles 7:12-16; James 5:13-16; Acts 12:5-10 2 Chronicles 7:12-16 says, “And the LORD appeared to Solomon by night, and said unto him, ‘I have heard your prayer, and have chosen this place for Myself for a house of sacrifice.

    From Mark Yarbrough called “When God Doesn’t Heal” (https://www.epm.org/resources/2005/Mar/28/when-god-doesnt-heal/) Why doesn’t God cure everyone who prays fervently for healing? Two assumptions and then 3 points

Max said, “Not good, my brother is very sick.” “Don’t say that, your brother isn’t sick,” answered the faith healer, “he only thinks he’s sick. Remember that, he only things he’s sick.” Two months later they ...read more
