Intercessory Prayer Series

Contributed by Ricky Tuttle Thd on Nov 24, 2023

I was wondering.. How often do we pray for others? How often do we ask beyond our ability to help for others? When was the last time, you were burdened to pray and you just stopped what you were doing and prayed for someone?

We Do Not Know What We Should Pray For As We Ought Series

Contributed by Revd Dr Ruwan Palapathwala on Dec 23, 2024

Like all Christians, St. Paul was left wondering how to pray in many challenging situations and trials during his ministry as an Apostle of the Lord. Then, he found how to pray best.

The words of St Paul, “We do not know what we should pray for as we ought,” I know, ring a bell with all of us Christians. When we are faced with situations that are beyond our grasp and capacity to control, we find ourselves without knowing what we should pray for as we ought. I remember my ...read more

I Saw You Under The Fig Tree

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 23, 2024

What did Jesus see under the fig tree, and what was Nathaniel doing there? Maybe Nathanael was in a quiet prayer time under the fig tree, and Jesus saw or heard Nathaniel’s prayer. "I saw you under the fig tree" means I saw you in your quiet time alone with God under the fig tree.

Nathanael said to Him, “How do You know me?” Jesus answered and said to him, “Before Philip called you, when you were under the fig tree, I saw you.” Nathanael answered and said to Him, “Rabbi, You are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!” John 1:48-49 Jesus and Nathanael had an instant ...read more

However, a closer examination of Scripture and the early church reveals that women have always played a vital role in sharing the Gospel and leading others to Christ. Let us explore the ...read more

Help! I Can't Pray Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Paul knew what he was saying when he said we know not how to pray as we ought. We can't depend upon prayer. We need to depend upon God. Prayer is not the answer, but God is. Prayer can even be a danger to the best in life.

One of the perplexing of all life's paradoxes is the fact that God often answers our prayers by refusing to answer our prayers. One of the greatest examples of this in history is that of Monica praying for her son Augustine. All night in a sea side chapel on the North African coast she pleaded ...read more

Big Buts

Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Apr 27, 2014

A short talk asking what big buts we are carrying around with us. What big buts are looming in our lives? In the midst of our statements that start with, "But I can't ..." Jesus comes and says, "Shalom. Peace be with you!"

On the evening of that first day of the week the disciples were together, with the doors locked because they were afraid. I can imagine what they may have been thinking, and I guess there were some massive ‘buts’ in the room! But it wasn’t meant to be like this. We followed him ...read more
