    Teach Us To Pray Series

    Contributed by Joel Gilbert on Aug 11, 2025
     | 262 views

    Following a time of prayer, one of Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. Luke records an abbreviated version of the Lord's prayer and then includes elements that encourage us to be bold in our prayer, promising provision and presence from God.

    Over the last couple of sections of Luke’s gospel, we’ve considered the importance of loving God with all that we are and loving others. We’ve also reflected on the value of sitting before Jesus in order to just be with Him and learn before we get in to the practice of serving. It seems like in ...read more

    Psalm 88 reveals faithful lament in unrelenting darkness, showing God’s presence in despair and Christ’s promise to carry us toward the dawn.

    INTRODUCTION — THE NIGHT THAT NEVER BREAKS Some Psalms begin with lament and end with praise. Some start in the valley and finish on the mountaintop. Some move from tears to trust, from sorrow to singing, from pain to peace. Psalm 88 is not one of those Psalms. It is the only Psalm in the entire ...read more

    Prayer is a powerful, intimate encounter with God that brings healing, unity, and hope when we approach Him honestly and support one another.

    Some of us walked in today with a whisper instead of a shout. Hearts carry heavy headlines—doctor’s reports, strained relationships, silent worries that keep us wide awake at 3 a.m. You’ve prayed before, and maybe your prayer felt like a paper airplane tossed into a hurricane.

    The sermon calls us to seek God above all else, finding rest, confidence, and purpose in His presence amid life’s storms and uncertainties.

    Some days the heart feels like a hummingbird in a hurricane—fluttering, fragile, and longing for a safe branch. We scroll and scurry and strive, yet the soul still whispers for something steady.

    Why don’t we pray? Or, if we do pray, why do we often feel guilty that we aren’t praying as frequently, or as much, or as fervently as we should? What’s holding us back? This sermon examines five reasons that we struggle with prayer, and how to overcome them.

    This morning, I’d like to talk with you about a spiritual discipline which is at the core of the Christian life. This is something which everyone acknowledges is important, and valuable, and rewarding. We all agree that it’s a good thing. And yet, we may also hope that no one inquires too closely ...read more

    Prayer is not merely a religious duty; it is a divine privilege. Through prayer, we commune with the Creator of the universe. Yet, how often do we approach God with hesitation, doubting whether He hears us or will answer our petitions?

     | 3,559 views

    Stay alert and pray, so that you won't fall into temptation. Being alert enhances our prayers, as every enemy we identify pushes us to pray more fervently. Furthermore, being alert is a form of prayer. If we are truly alert, the act of watching itself becomes a prayer.

    In the Bible, Jesus instructs his disciples to "Watch and pray, so that you will not fall into temptation" (Matthew 26:41, NIV). This command holds great significance for believers today. By understanding the importance of watching and praying, we can overcome temptation and live a victorious ...read more
