  • Have Faith And Pray

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 5, 2015
     | 6,106 views

    Our Christian life is not to be confined to a closet. Our belief must be revealed in our practice. If we walk in Christ, then we must act as Christ would act because Christ is in us-our hopes, our love, our joy and our lives. We are Christ's reflection.

    At first glance, the reading from Hosea 1:2-10 doesn't seem to make sense. Would God really ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? Well, the answer is yes he can, and yes he did. You see, this was part of God's plan, and we all know that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes God's ways don't ...read more

    God “tries the heart,” “sees the heart,” “refines the heart,” and “searches the heart.”

    1 Samuel 16:7 For God sees not as man sees, for man looks at the outward appearance, but the Lord looks at the heart. In both the Old and New Testaments, the word “Heart” refers to the center of an individual’s mental, emotional and spiritual life. Put another way, the heart is the “innermost ...read more

    In Acts 12. we see the power that's at our disposal if we will seek God in intercessory prayer. Peter was going to be executed the next morning, but because Christians prayed, God sent an angel. He'll do it today if we pray! This message will preach!

    After living more than 60 years, I know that any claim that offers an effortless way to develop a lean, well conditioned body is a hoax. So is any sermon title that promises an easy way to become like our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

  • Too Busy Not To Pray

    Contributed by Joseph Smith on Sep 13, 2009
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,137 views

    When we think we are too busy to pray, we are succumbing to the issue of control: either we suppose we can manage everything or we want to abdicate. Prayer is the way to find priorities and strength.

    Let me throw some numbers at you. Imagine that you were in charge of an operation that involves, on the average, some ten thousand people a week, almost all of whom come together at one time. Of these ten thousand or so, not all will get there every time, but sometimes many more than that will show ...read more
