     | 45,390 views

    The devil wants to hinder our worship because worship brings revival. It brings the power of the Holy Ghost and with the power of the Holy Ghost comes deliverance, peace, and victory.

    Five Ways The Devil Can Bind Our Worship Psalm 99:1-4 The Lord reigneth; let the people tremble: he sitteth between the cherubims; let the earth be moved.

    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.

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

    Many people settle for the cloak of respectable religion. They claim to believe what everyone else believes – no more and no less. But Jesus came to call us into a growing relationship with him.

    Surrendering our desire to be king to the true King of the universe and us. And in the act of surrender we find freedom and life.

    When Jesus rode into Jerusalem on that small donkey, he was giving them an opportunity to acknowledge that he was indeed the King of Israel, and ultimately King of the Universe. He was giving them the opportunity to submit to him as Lord of their lives. But that was not going to happen. They ...read more
