    The Privilege Of Prayer

    Contributed by John Gaston on Nov 9, 2022
     | 2,035 views

    Earthly kings & presidents DO NOT ALLOW ACCESS to themselves by average people! How different God is, to seek out the lowest, the least, & the nobodies - though He's the Creator & King of kings. Prayer is a priceless privilege; make sure you use it!

    THE PRIVILEGE OF PRAYER Heb. 10:19 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: BRAGGING OF PERFECTION 1. One denomination believes you can “pray through” to perfection. One member of this group went to see a Christian neighbor. He struck up the subject of the believer's perfection. 2. The neighbor said, ...read more

     | 2,340 views

    In His final week of public ministry, Jesus confronted a series of challenging questions His enemies attempted to use as traps. One question dealt with the issue of paying taxes to Caesar. Jesus' surprising answer would settle the issues of loyalty and obligation to both God and Caesar.

    Jesus had spent the first days of His final week shaking up the status quo concerning the worship of the LORD, the reverence due to the House of God, and to recall its purpose. He exposed the moneymaking schemes of the religious leaders, rebuked their practices, and drove out the merchants who ...read more
