    King Jehosphaphat cried out to God for help and the Lord answered him. We cry out to God in prayer and desire for the Lord to answer our prayers as well.

    I found another wonderful story of life changing prayer this morning. The story is found in two Old Testament passages – I Kings 22:32 and 2 Chronicles 18:31. It is interesting to me that the wording of both passages is almost the same which might indicate they used a common resource. What is ...read more

    This sermon is a closer look at the way Jesus prayed for Himself, those who were with Him at the time and for us today. Also a look at the need to pray for ourselves, others and the lost of this world.

    Things That Make Christians Different From The World: Prayer Part II Last week’s message was about how differently Christians look at prayer from the way the world looks at prayer. We talked about the fact that there are major differences in the way we pray, who we pray to and the results of ...read more

    I first titled this message “Pray right” but I changed my topic because it’s about “praying smart” – we need to be using the wisdom of God to pray the smart way which then touches the heart of God and eventually our hearts!

    Praying With Power

    Contributed by Chris Cuthbertson on Jan 10, 2018
     | 11,836 views

    Most Christians say they believe in prayer but in reality, they don’t see much power in it. I think the reason for this is they don’t pray much. Like the subject of love it is easy to talk about but not as easy to put into practice.

    Praying With Power James 5: 13-18 Do you remember the TV commercial for the investment firm of E.F. Hutton? What was their catch slogan? When E.F. Hutton speaks people listen. Well you know what? When Christians pray, God listens. I read of a town in the mid-west that had two churches and ...read more

    Spiritual warfare starts by using scripture as the foundation of your prayers. This results in confidence, and praying with the authority. We also must learn to incorporate worship and praise in our prayer times.

    Introduction: Today I want to talk about how to overcome the enemy through spiritual warfare! Unfortunately for many, a message like this will seem utterly worthless… because according to Gallup poll… basically 60% of all Christians… don’t even believe in the devil. They ...read more
