Fished Out Of The Sea Series

Contributed by Christopher Howitz on Oct 30, 2017

“The time has come,” Jesus said, “The kingdom of God has come near. Repent and believe the good news!” (1:15) That was Jesus’ great announcement at the beginning of his ministry in Galilee.

Solitude And Prayer Help Us To Do God’s Work

Contributed by Craig Condon on Feb 7, 2015

We need to be motivated by what God calls us to do and not by what other people expect us to do. We have to do God’s will even if it doesn’t please people. God’s message is not in sync with the rest of the world.

Jesus And His Prayer Life Series

Contributed by Brad Beaman on Oct 7, 2023

We all need a daily pattern of prayer. Sometimes we also need an extended time of prayer. It means we are following the pattern of our Lord and really making time for solitary prayer a priority along with our corporate time of prayer.

We need to pray. We need to follow the example of our Lord Jesus who made prayer a priority. We will look at the passage of scripture that tells us about when Jesus got up very early and got off by himself to pray. There was a cartoon where one praying mantis was talking with another and said, ...read more

The Construction Of A King's Character (1 Samuel 16:14-23)

Contributed by Donald Whitchard on Jul 7, 2024

God used solitude, secrecy, sameness, and struggle to shape the character and faith of David for his future role as king of Israel. God can use tools like these to shape anyone who surrenders their life to Him.

David had just been anointed as the next king of Israel by the prophet Samuel (1 Samuel 16:1-13), much to the amazement of his father and brothers. He had been in the fields of Judea tending the family flocks, seemingly consigned like the majority of the populace to live a life of productive ...read more

It is easier to preach a sermon on prayer than to pray. It is easier to give a lecture on prayer than to pray. It is easier to do ...read more
