Persistent Prayers

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Dec 21, 2021

Jesus often taught in parables. Among his many listeners, some folks understood their meaning and some folks didn't. And that is still true today, because we all tend to hear what we want to hear.

The Lord used these parables to convey a truth to the listeners then, and to His listeners now, by taking a physical situation to teach a spiritual truth. Luke 18:1-8 is a parable about prayer. This is made clear in the first verse of this parable, look at Luke 18:1, we read, “And he spake a ...read more

The Aspects of Prayer Matthew 6: 9-13 We have come to one of the most recognized portions in all of Scripture. I think it would be safe to say, this passage is among the top three most quoted passages, along with Psalm 23 and John 3:16. Most of the time, it is referred to as the Lord’s Prayer. I ...read more

Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on May 5, 2023

The deed is done before the all-seeing God. His approval is reward enough in itself.

ALMSGIVING AND PRAYER. Matthew 6:1-9. Jesus’ teaching on almsgiving, prayer and fasting in the Sermon on the Mount is replete with the language of the stage. MATTHEW 6:1.

The Prayer Of Thanksgiving Series

Lets face the reality of this. Much, if not most, of what we have to thank God for comes to us through other people. They are the primary tools of God to achieve His purpose in history.

My earliest childhood memories of being in church are of the rope that I could ride. The thick rope hung down through the ceiling in the church entry way.

Scripture: Philippians 1:3-6

Successful Prayer

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 13, 2021

If success is pleasing God, and God is not pleased with all kinds of external forms and activities, where the heart is far from him, than it follows that the only road to spiritual success is the road to inner space.

Henry Brown prayed for a way to escape. He was a slave in Richmond, Virginia, and desperately wanted to be free. He finally felt his prayer was answered when he was inspired by a unique idea.

Persistence In Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

The Prayer Of Thanksgiving Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021

Spontaneous prayer is much more meaningful and real than planned prayer. Planned prayer is usually locked into formulas, and we repeat the same requests over and over. This kind of prayer gets dull, and it is seen as a duty rather than a joy.

Patriotic In Prayer Series

Contributed by Glenn Pease on Mar 19, 2021
