     | 3,382 views

    This is the 3rd talk in a series, and this week the focus is on learning to pray by paying attention to the Master Teacher himself, and by learning from him. Then, we actually need to learn by praying!

    Jesus said, “Your Father [in heaven] knows what you need before you ask him” (6:8). An elderly man was on his deathbed. He wasn’t afraid of dying or of death, but he was having trouble praying. When a pastor from the church visited him one day the old man told him about his ...read more

    How can we be faithful like Daniel?

    Hebrews 11:6 states, “And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him.” Do we believe in God? Do we desire a good life? Faith is the key to life! God tells us in His Word, Christians are ...read more

    A 4-point sermon explaining how and why we need to apply this short prayer to our lives, both as Christians and as the body of Christ.

    Everybody wants to know what purpose they have. Does God really have a plan for each one of us?

    Prayer needs to be the primary way we encounter God and grow in our relationship with Him. Jesus modeled and taught on prayer, particularly through the model of “The Lord’s Prayer.”

    Last week I shared our need to get connected to God, the only way to experience an abundant, fruitful life is to get connected to God. We get connected to God through Jesus. The Scripture passage we used last week was Jesus’ words, “you cannot bear fruit unless you remain (abide) in me.” The ...read more

These are the two questions that the Apostle Paul is trying to answer in 2 Timothy 3:14–17. These were very relevant and very critical questions in the church that ...read more
