    Alba 8-20-2023 THE ARMOR OF GOD: PRAYER Ephesians 6:18 You probably have heard the poem about prayer written by Sam Walter Foss. But here it is again just in case you missed it. "The proper way for a man to pray," Said Deacon Lemuel Keyes, "And the only proper attitude is down ...read more

    Since Our Lord has taught us to do this, the prayer for enemies must be the most effective prayer we can ever raise to God.

    Saturday of the First Week in Lent 2023 The command to “be perfect as your heavenly Father” can be very scary, especially to a young person.

    When Prayers Are Answered Series

    I love to hear when the Lord directs a person to go and speak to someone; but what I am even more excited about is hearing of the back story from the other side how God made this all happen. That is our passage today.

    “When Prayers Are Answered” Acts 10:1-23 Several weeks ago I received a card from a preacher, which attended Liberty Baptist Bible Collage where I am the Dean of Students. Intrigued I opened the letter and there was a card that was signed by several people who I have never met and a hand written ...read more

The man who was driving from that region said, “Yes, I have lived here all my life and we make some strong brew, If I must say so myself.” The man stated he had some of that strong brew and asked ...read more

    Prayer is work. Life is a battle. To overcome problems and challenges in our life's journey, we need to fight on our knees.

    TEXT: Exodus 17:10-13 "So Joshua did as Moses had said to him, and fought with Amalek: and Moses, Aaron, and Hur went up to the top of the hill. And it came to pass, when Moses held up his hand, that Israel prevailed: and when he let down his hand, Amalek prevailed. But Moses' hands were ...read more

    A Prayer For God’s Will

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 6, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 4,164 views

    When it comes to praying for God’s will, we often find ourselves at a loss for words. Perhaps, the way to make the greatest impact is to ask for a blessing; to pray for the spiritual and material resources we need to enlarge the kingdom.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning “A Prayer for God’s Will.” When we think of God’s will we often have in mind how the Lord wants to use us for His glory; how God wants to include us in His plans and work through us to make an impact for the kingdom. But when it comes to praying for God’s ...read more

    Unless the Lord builds the house, those who labor on it labor in vain. And unless we pray for God to build our upcoming Revival, all our labor will be in vain. But what should we pray for God to do?

    A woman told of their family moving into a new house in town after years of living on a farm. Early the next morning, their 3 year old boy ran into the bedroom to wake them. “I dressed him and told him to play in the yard and to quit bothering us.” About 20 minutes later, he came running back. ...read more

    Two Revealing Prayers Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,662 views

    This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled “Two Revealing Prayers,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.” Darrell Bock, in The NIV Application Commentary, says, “This parable is really the parable of the two prayers. In those prayers appear two ...read more
