    Why should we pray?

    He Prayed all Night Long: An Exposition of Luke 6:12-16 Jesus’ ministry was certainly a busy one.

    What it means and what the effects of grieving the Holy Spirit.

    There are some amazing truths contained in the NT concerning the person of the Spirit of God. I am afraid that because He is unseen, He is so often overlooked. Yet He is so frequently mentioned and given such prominence, that we overlook Him at our own demise. In our text we are given a command ...read more

    Explained: Ineffectiveness In Prayer.

    Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Aug 18, 2022

    Many songs have been written over the years that encourages a believer to pray. I remember fondly one of the songs I learned in my early days when I was converted to the faith. The song was titled "Prayer is the key". I memorized the song out of my love and joy for singing church hymnals. ...read more
