    Jesus teaches us that our prayers need to be daring.

    It has been said the prayer is the greatest secret weapon of the church today. Great, because God promises to answer prayer. Secret, because most Christians do not know how prayer works. Our Lord’s disciples had asked Jesus to teach them to pray (v. 1). As part of His answer, Jesus shared a ...read more

C. Proverbs 31:13-22 II. A MOTHER’S TESTING A. Being a mother is more than giving birth. It is ...read more

     | 1,106 views

    No amount of preaching, teaching, singing, music, or activity will bring forth the genuine power and presence of the Holy Spirit like the fervent prayers of the righteous. Prayer changes things! When we work, we work; when we pray, God works!

    Subject - Effective Fervent Prayer Invites Divine Intervention Scripture - Acts 12:5-11 “So Peter was kept in prison, but the church was earnestly praying to God for him.

    King Asa was a man who loved God and obeyed God. He didn’t get his reverence for God from his father. His father was certainly not a man who pleased God. Neither did he get his reverence for God from his grandfather. After Solomon was king of the unified nation of Israel the kingdom was divided ...read more

    We need to be willing to pray for as long as it takes. Pray that it will take long enough and be hard enough for God to receive all of the glory.

    Luke included the Parable of the Unjust Judge to encourage the people. The parable is about waiting and not losing hope, heart or faith. If we pray earnestly, faithfully and regularly, Jesus will find faith when he does return.

    Have you ever wanted something so much that you kept asking for it time and time again until you finally got what you wanted? If so, you can understand how the widow in the Parable of the Unjust Judge felt. She kept going to the judge until he finally decided to hear her case. In Jesus’ ...read more

    Praying to God as His sons and daughters is an honor. We should beat down the doors to heaven and seek God's will.

    Do you wonder what some of Jesus’ parables mean? Do you ever feel like Jesus’ message is obscure and obtuse? “The knowledge of the secrets of the kingdom of God have been given to you, but to them, I speak in parables” (Lk. 8:10). Well, there is not room for misunderstanding ...read more

    How should we pray? As Jesus taught His disciples, He also teaches us: 1. Pray with great determination (vs. 5-8) 2. Pray with great expectation (vs. 9-10) 3. Picture our Heavenly Father’s dedication (vs. 11-13) 4. Ponder God’s escalation (vs. 13)
