    John talks about having confidence in faith so that we pray.

    10.16.22 1 John 5:13–15 13 I have written these things to you who believe in the name of the Son of God so that you may know that you have eternal life. 14 This is the confidence that we have before him: that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. 15 And if we know that he ...read more

    Taking Time

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022
     | 1,390 views

    Looking for solitude was a significant need for Jesus. We need to foster the control of investing energy alone with God. Spending time alone with God is necessary.

    Looking for solitude was a significant need for Jesus (Matthew 14:13). He made room in his bustling timetable to be separated from everyone else and be with the Father. Investing energy with God in petition and prayer supports an imperative relationship and prepares us to address life's ...read more

    Sleeping Through A Garden Moment

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 18, 2022
     | 1,243 views

    This is the story of Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. No doubt we have all heard this story preached, read it ourselves, or seen movies regarding the Crucifixion of Christ. He was the perfect Son, in perfect union, with the perfect Father.

    Was Jesus attempting to escape the performance of his undertaking? Jesus was communicating his actual sentiments however he did not deny or oppose God's will. He reaffirmed his desire to do what God needed him to do. His petition features the awful enduring he needed to suffer, and desolation ...read more

    Standing In The Gap

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 19, 2022
     | 1,740 views

    We are living in a period of extraordinary assaults by Satan. It is critical that we maintain prayers for our leaders, and it is fundamental for the leaders to take accountability to assist them with keeping their spiritual and moral integrity.

    In Chapter 22, we learn why judgment would come to Jerusalem (22:2-16), how it would be approached (22· 17-22), and who would be affected by it (22:23-31). Those actions and sins that occurred back then seem very similar to what is happening in society today (James 3:1). We are living in a ...read more

    We have quit asking, we have quit seeking, and we have not knocked for so long that we have forgotten where the knocker is!

    We have quit asking, we have quit seeking, and we have not knocked for so long that we have forgotten where the knocker is! What do I mean by that sentence?

    Jesus’ taught His disciples then as He teaches His disciples today how to pray what has become the known as Lord’s Prayer. We are friends of God and we are also His adopted children. “A friend in need is a friend indeed”.

    A FRIEND IN NEED IS A FRIEND INDEED Text: Luke 11:1-13 “A youngster in Connecticut, not understanding the words of the Lord’s Prayer was overheard saying, “Our Father who art in New Haven how did you know my name?” (Williams P.

    Do I Have To Pay Someone To Teach Me How To Pray?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 22, 2022
     | 1,076 views

    Why would anyone need to pay to learn how to pray when it is clear that the Lord told us how in the Bible?

    I recently read an article where someone was charging people nearly $1500.00 to attend a seminar on how to learn to pray. Let us look at Luke 11:1-13. 1. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as ...read more

    The Praying Prophet Series

     | 1,385 views

    Jonah prays from inside the great fish. When we realize that God wants us to accomplish something, we ought not to run.

    Fear the God – Respect 2:1-9 At the beginning of chapter 1, we see Jonah as The Protesting Prophet. He did not want to go to Nineveh as directed by God. It is noted in verse three that he “rose up to flee…from the Presence of the Lord.” Jonah had sinned by running from God. However, we can see ...read more

    Oh, To Be Blessed

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Nov 4, 2022
     | 1,082 views

    Undoubtedly everyone has heard the story of Jabez. We are not told anything remarkable about Jabez other than that he prayed. The only way for anyone to be truly great is by seeking God's will, and to do that one must pray earnestly and fervently.

    Undoubtedly everyone has heard the story of Jabez. There have been countless sermons, articles, opinions stated, and books covering the topic of the prayer of Jabez. I am not wanting to add to that list but as I was researching for a sermon out of the book of 1 Chronicles, I landed upon this ...read more

     | 1,533 views

    When we face a battle where the enemy is fierce, how can we let God fight for us?

    How do we fight when we see that an enemy is so great? How do we let go and not fight when we feel that we must?

    Praying In Secret Series

    Standing itself is interpreted as praying, for it is said, "and Abraham rose early in the morning to where he stood, "and there is no prayer but standing." though sometimes they prayed sitting, as David did, 2 Samuel 7:18

    Matthew 6:5-8 (NIV) 5 "And when you pray, do not be like the hypocrites, for they love to pray standing in the synagogues and on the street corners to be seen by others.
