     | 8,278 views

    Knowing He was hours from being murdered, Jesus could have used His divine privilege to get out of what was coming, but He didn’t. His prayer in the garden teaches us how to pray in the midst of hardship and how to deal with unanswered prayer.

    24: The Last Hours of Jesus “The Garden” And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” -Luke 22:44 Key Scripture: Luke 22:39-45 Key Thought: Having just been betrayed by a close friend and knowing that his accusers were coming to ...read more

    Pray this, take this class, give this much money. Christianity has been minimized to a one time prayer, an occasional Bible study, and a regular monetary donation. What did Jesus really invite us to? Radical discipleship. Radical commitment. He dindn

    In the Lord’s Prayer we pray "forgive us our sins, as we forgive those who sin agianst us." It is not easy. We do not pretend to do it well, but forgiveness is a primary act of faith if we are to follow and imitate Jesus. the sermon includes the outlin

    Prayer is one of the greatest gifts God has given us - but it's also one of the most forsaken by today's Christian. Jesus gives us an example of how to pray and then goes on to show us three attitudes / behaviours that hinder our prayer life. Also inclu

    Give Us Today The Food That We Need

    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Nov 11, 2012
     | 3,853 views

    A short talk from a series on the Lord's Prayer at our evening service. To pray, "Give us today our daily bread" is to recognise that God is the giver. It may also require us to be part of the answer to other people's prayers as per James 2:15-16.

    The Lord’s Prayer is the model for prayer taught by Jesus. It is the skeleton, the frame, upon which we build when we pray. Yes, we can and do pray it word for word, but if we think the Lord’s Prayer is like a fixed recipe, or worse, if we think this model prayer is like a spell, or ...read more

    Jabez: Overcoming The Significance Of A Sorrowful Name

    Jabez' mother named him 'Sorrow,' but the LORD kept this man of prayer from experiencing it. We ought to pray faithfully to God, asking Him to help us in any weighty task and to bring about what is dear to our hearts and according to His will.

    Turn to 1 Chronicles 4... In the book of 1 Chronicles, there is a man given honor in the middle of a genealogy of very important people, including many kings. His name is short, so we don't have a Maher-shalal-hash-baz. We have Jabez, essentially pronounced "Ya-Bates" in Hebrew. Many have ...read more
