    64th in a series from Ephesians. Our prayer needs to go beyond the superficial and physical and focus on the deep spiritual needs of others.

    Let me begin this morning with a confession. There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that the message I am going to share with you this morning is at least as much for me as for any of you. I’m not really speaking to you this morning out of my own experience as much as I am preaching to myself ...read more

     | 50 views

    Prayer transforms worry into peace, gratitude turns scarcity into joy, and intentional generosity creates lasting impact when we bring everything to God with open hearts.

    Some days it feels like life is lived in the space between sighs. Between the doctor’s call and the next appointment. Between a stack of bills and a thin bank account. Between what we hoped for and what is here. In those spaces, God is nearer than breath. He leans over the rail of heaven, ...read more

    Developing A Life Of Prayer

    Contributed by Brad Bailey on Sep 22, 2006
    based on 5 ratings
     | 3,008 views

    Prayer is at the very core of spiritual life. Despite how many people speak of praying as a part of their lives… I believe that a life that lives out of a center of prayer is challenging for most of us.

    Fires and earthquakes may serve to get our attention, taking our focus off the temporary things of this world… but the voice that we ultimately long for comes in quiet places. So it shouldn’t surprise us what we find the disciples of Jesus coming to him about in Matthew 6. They might have asked ...read more

    If we come not just asking, but really seeking, we will receive God’s best. We can be encouraged to pray because God wants us to, and He desires to give us much more than the request that started the conversation.

    Prayer Changes Things A Sermon on Matthew 7:7-11 The story is told of a young boy who wanted $100 very badly. He prayed for a long time, but nothing happened.
