    Surprised By Prayer Series

    Even as I’m concerned about people who misunderstand the purpose of prayer, I’m also concerned about those who do understand, but who seem to pray with no expectation of God honoring prayers or acting on our behalf.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK (In preparing this message as part of a sermon series on “Prayer” I have borrowed heavily, and adapted, from an outstanding sermon of the same title by Mike Hays of the Britton Christian ...read more

    It seems to me that God is doing 4 things. Now, I'm sure He is doing much more than that. But in regards to the church it seems there are 4 things God is doing that have great impact on the church today.

    MELVIN M. NEWLAND, MINISTER RIDGE CHAPEL, KANSAS, OK I think that there is nothing more exciting than discovering what God is doing in our world today. But I don't want just to hear about what God is doing, or to read about it in some ...read more

    A brief outline on which to build a prayer-night sermon.

    WRESTLING IN PRAYER. Genesis 32:24-29. Jacob's wrestling, whilst factual and historical, is nevertheless a metaphor for prayer. 1. The place name, Jabbok, means pouring out, or emptying. This reminds me of the self-emptying of Christ (cf. Philippians 2:7-8). It also reminds me of ...read more

    Prayer For The Church

     | 7,349 views

    The church and our nation don't seem to be in a good spot and need much prayer. The church in Ephesus was in a similar spot and Paul knew that they needed prayer desperately. Have we been focusing on praying for the church in our nation?

    Opening illustration: A friend told me about a neighbor who years ago spent most of his spare time planting trees. The man seldom watered the young trees because he thought that too much watering spoiled them. (He came from the “no pain, no gain” school of plant care.) Pampered trees, ...read more

    One of the prescribed weapons to destroy the recrimination of Satan is prayer. As you stand in holiness,whatsoever you decree shall come to pass. You should bring into captivity every thought to the obedience of Christ.

    “For though we walk in the flesh, we do not war after the flesh: (For the weapons of our warfare are not carnal, but mighty through God to the pulling down of strongholds;) Casting down imaginations, and every high thing that exalteth itself against the knowledge of God, and bringing into ...read more

    The Bible is full of verses that say that we should be praying. How many believers are praying? Prayer is communication between you and God, and when you are not involved communication Is broken.

    We sometimes hear "I felt like Daniel in the Lion's Den" but who was this Daniel and what was he doing in the lion's den? This message looks at the prayer that got Daniel in trouble

    Daniel in the Lion’s Den It’s one of those phrases that you hear every once in a while but I’m not always sure that those using it are aware of the context. It often involves someone who is in a tough spot and they will say “I felt like Daniel in the lions den.” ...read more

    A short appeal to persevere in prayer.

    IMPORTUNITY IN PRAYER. Matthew 15:21-28. Sometimes in the round of life it seems that we are praying by rote - and sometimes not praying at all, but rather ‘saying prayers’. I was impressed with the importunity of the woman of Canaan who approached Jesus in Matthew 15:21-28. Yes folks, faith ...read more
