    Pray And Believe! Series

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    It isn’t about praying for something God is slow to give. It’s about being steadfast and holding on to faith.

    Our prayers are affected by the way we understand God. Jesus uses this quirky parable to drive home that God is passionate about humanity and, in particular, your well-being.

    Sermon for CATM – November 1, 2009 – “Pray Like You Mean It!” A young man went into a drugstore to buy 3 boxes of chocolate: small, medium, and large. When the pharmacist asked him about the three boxes, he said, “Well, I’m going over to a new girlfriend’s house for supper. Then we’re going out. ...read more

    Persistent prayer is commanded to us by Christ. If even the unjust judge will respond to it for bad reasons, how much more will the Father respond for good ones?

    Asking and asking again Luke 18:1-8 What is your prayer life like? How long can you pray without stopping?

    "When the Son of Man cometh, shall he find faith on the earth?" We talk about our disappointment with God, but is God ever puzzled by our lack of faith?

    The parable of the widow and the unjust judge relates to our disappointment with God. Like the mistreated widow, we often wonder why God allows so much pain and injustice to go on. We pray and pray and yet no answer comes. The righteous perish and the wicked flourish. Sometimes we even wonder, ...read more

    In the Parable of the Persistent Widow, Jesus was training and preparing His disciples to “watch and pray.” Jesus was teaching His faithful about faith in Him, and the life of prayer, which flows from such faith.

    God will answer our prayers. Jesus will return - but both often seem to be taking such a long time! This short talk encourages us not to give up on prayer, nor to give up on the return of Jesus.
