    December 17 of the 3rd Week in Advent 2020 Today’s Gospel makes no sense unless we know something about the history of God’s relationship with the chosen people, Israel.

    Expanding Your Prayer Life Series

    Contributed by Richard Tow on Jul 4, 2021
     | 7,337 views

    Sermon expounds exhortation in Eph. 6:18 to "pray with ALL KINDS of prayer." A key to expanding our prayer capacity is developing in a variety of modes of prayer. Many struggle with prayer because their prayer life is one-dimensional (primarily petition).

    Our text today is found in Ephesians 6. A couple of weeks ago we ministered on the armor of God presented in verses 10-17.i Paul begins by saying, “Finally, my brethren, [much of what Paul has said previously in this epistle is leading up to this exhortation.] be strong in the Lord and in the power ...read more

    Today, we will study the subject of prayer by watching something that took place in the life of a woman who wanted desperately to become a mother. This woman’s name was Hannah.

    In Paul’s letter to the Ephesian church, he talked about the Christian’s armor. The Christian is told to “Put on the whole armor of God in order to stand against the wiles of the devil.” The Apostle Paul ends this section of Scripture letting his readers know that they also fight their spiritual ...read more

    Why all Christians need to dedicate ourselves to daily prayer: 1. It is God’s priority for us (vs. 1) 2. It brings God’s peace to us (vs. 2) 3. It pleases God (vs. 3) 4. It helps accomplish God’s purpose for people (vs. 4-6)

    The proper answer to Satan’s "I shall not serve" and Planned Parenthood’s "Every child a planned and wanted child" is Mary’s "Behold the maidservant of the Lord" and "Be it done to me according to Thy word"

    Sermon for Pro-Life Service 22 April 2009 I don’t think it’s a total coincidence that New York legalized abortion about the same time that Rosary devotions began to wane in the late 1960’s.

     | 18,063 views

    Always remember, God’s delays are not God’s denials! Sometimes God denies the original request, to give you something better and greater to make you grow for His glory.

    Intro: A small child wrote to a missionary the following note: “Dear Mr. Missionary, we are praying for you but we don’t know if God will answer.” This prayer reflects the prayers of most Christians who pray a lot but actually doubt answers! When and how does God answer? To get an answer from God, ...read more
