Contemplative Prayer

Contributed by Jerry Cosper on May 10, 2022

Contemplative prayer is much like two lovers in love with each other. In contemplation we use new approaches or tools, if you will, to hear God more completely, intimately, or thoroughly.

Mark 1:35 – “35 Very early in the morning, while it was still dark, he got up, went out, and made his way to a deserted place; and there he was praying.” This verse reminds me of how important it is to get away by myself and totally focus on God as I pray. Two weeks ago, we spent some time talking ...read more

The Lord's Prayer

Contributed by Brian Credille on Jun 21, 2009

This message looks at the prayer Jesus prayed for His disciples, and for all who would believe in Him.

The prayer of Jesus found in the Sermon on the Mount is often called "The Lord’s Prayer." It would be more accurate to call it "The Model Prayer," because Jesus uses it to teach us how to pray. In John 17, we find a very personal, heartfelt prayer by our Lord. It is truly accurate to call it, "The ...read more

Prayer And Fasting Series

Contributed by Imelda Mesa on Apr 29, 2019

The fact that no one has done it, doesn’t mean it cannot be done.

It takes me back almost 2.5 years ago when we planted the church in Manila. We were anxious. We did it because we believed that this was God’s direction. Yet, we didn’t quite know what to expect. It is a big step out of our comfort zone. But, as a Church, we pushed some walls down. The fact that no ...read more

A Prayer For Wisdom Series

Contributed by Brian Bill on Sep 7, 2004

While we can benefit from some of the wisdom that whirls around us, to be truly wise we need the wisdom that comes from above.

Recently a survey was done with a group of kids. This is how they responded to the question, “What do you think wisdom is?” Rocky, age 9, said, “Wisdom is wearing a hat when feeding seagulls.” 9-year-old Carol commented, “Never ask for anything that costs more than $5 when your parents are doing ...read more

Be Bold In Prayer

Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Aug 22, 2022

How many of us can as children of God approach Him boldly and ask Him for the greater blessings that He has in store for us. Today many are satisfied with leading a mediocre life of just attending church on Sunday, reading a few verses and praying.

We read in Judges 1:14-15, Acsah went to live with Othniel. Othniel told Acsah to ask her father for some land. She went to her father. When she got off her donkey, Caleb asked her, "What is wrong?" Acsah answered him, "Give me a blessing. You gave me dry desert land in the Negev. ...read more
