    God loves to answer prayer when we want what He wants.

    The Promise of Answered Prayer Jeremiah 33:3 Rev. Brian Bill 7/31/11 Some of us find ourselves in precarious positions, like these guys up on the screen. While most of them seem to have chosen these circumstances, many of us have not asked for what we’re going through. We’re out on a ...read more

    In the wake of the mass shootings in El Paso, Texas and Dayton, Ohio, politicians and many Christians are repeating “Thoughts and prayers are not enough. We need action.” Could it be that they, like many Christians, don’t truly understand prayer and what it can accomplish?

    In 2015, after a shooter left 14 dead in California, the cover of the New York Daily News shouted “God Isn’t Fixing This!

    Notice that this prayer puts the spiritual before the physical. The Bible always places your spiritual health before your physical health. We are always doing the opposite. We nearly always talk about physical problems – money problems, marriage problems, and health problems.

    A Whitsuntide Message pleading for God to work in power among His holy people.

    “When the day of Pentecost arrived, they were all together in one place. And suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. And they were ...read more

    What does the LORD require of you?

    THE LORD’S CONTROVERSY. Micah 6:1-8. It is tragic when God has to serve a summons upon His own people. The “prisoner in the dock” is Israel herself, and the LORD is ready to submit His case. The witnesses are the mountains and hills (Micah 6:1), and strong foundations of the earth (Micah 6:2). ...read more

    The true and false audience and content of prayer

    Why do many athletes pray before they compete? I’ve noticed with mixed martial arts fights, fighters gather with their trainers and recite the Lord’s prayer before a fight. Those that trash talk before a fight, putting down their opponent, are not the ones that I see praying. But the fighters who ...read more

    James explains to us how to pray for healing: There’s the confession that precedes it. There’s the intercession that provides it, there’s the illustration that proves it.

    Introduction I want you to take your Bibles tonight and turn with me to the fifth chapter of the book of James. That wonderful book of James that deals with such practicalities, things that we need to know and learn and to hear over and over again. Tonight I want to speak to you on the ...read more

    David pleads for God's mercy from within the context of God's covenant love.

    Last week we began our Lenten journey, towards the cross and the empty tomb, and I introduced Psalm 51 as the text that will guide us along the way. As a reminder, Lent is the season of preparation for our greatest celebration as Christians, that of remembering the death and celebrating the ...read more

    Prayer isn’t about changing God’s mind; it’s about changing my mind so my will lines up with His will.

    Does Prayer Change God’s Mind? Rev. Brian Bill August 24-25, 2019 If our questions aren’t addressed properly, it’s easy to become confused.

    One of the greatest roles Jesus plays in our lives today is that of an intercessor. After completing His work of salvation on the cross, He ascended to heaven, where He continually prays for His people.

    Prayer (1) Gideon’s Prayer Regarding A Fleece

    Contributed by Simon Bartlett on Jun 7, 2020
    based on 2 ratings
     | 5,976 views

    Most commentators criticise Gideon, feeling that his prayer demonstrates a lack of faith. But given how positively the New Testament views Gideon, we should be inclined to take a positive view of his prayer. It's a very sensible prayer, and a great example to us.

    Today we’re starting a short series on prayer, and looking at a prayer which Gideon prayed. It’s in Judges 6:36-40. Introduction First, let’s look at the situation Gideon was in before we look at his prayer. We may think, ‘We pray, God answers. Simple.’ But when we look at what was going on at ...read more

    End Of Your Prayer Is The Beginning Of Your Prayer Life Series

    Contributed by Kamalanathan Francis on Nov 17, 2020

     | 2,124 views

    Living a prayer life is as important as the effective prayer time we have with God. Prayer is more than a ritual, it is building a relationship with the most important being in the universe. That’s why this topic is important than all other prayer teachings.

    Our prayer life is examined by our fruitfulness in life. A sponge soaked in oil when it is squeezed spills out oil, and a sponge soaked in water, when squeezed, give out water. What goes inside comes out. If through prayer you have allowed God to work out in your life, godliness and spiritual gifts ...read more
