    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

    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. Undaunted by the lack of response, he wrote a letter to God presenting his request once again. When the postal authorities received the ...read more
