    Questions are part of daily life. Some questions have black-and-white answers, others are in the shades of gray. Some questions have no answers. How we ask God questions is a reflection of our attitude towards Him.

    Difficult Questions, Unexpected Answers Matthew 22:15-22 Introduction People, by nature, are inquisitive. There are many unanswered dilemmas that we want to know the outcome. We want answers. We want them now! But we want them to meet our expectations. Look at how we view the upcoming ...read more

    Today with God’s help I am going to be preaching on two kinds of PRAYERS

    Why? (1) Because much of the preaching that preachers preach about today is about PRIVATE PRAYERS only. (2) They SELDOM EVER preach on PUBLIC PRAYERS making the distinction between PUBLIC and PRIVATE. Both of these kinds of prayers are taught throughout the scriptures and should be preached. ...read more

    Waiting faith and expectant trust.

    AN OPEN-ENDED PRAYER. Psalm 123:1-4. This is a short, impassioned prayer: a plea for help in the face of adversaries. It begins with adoration, with an abrupt “Unto You…” (PSALM 123:1).

    The “unclean spirit” is Satan or his demons. Satan delights in causing uncleanness in persons, places and things. His going out of a man, as presented here, is voluntary, not like his eviction by force as when Christ cast out demons.

    Harmony of the Gospels -AD 28- Capernaum Title: Jesus Answers a Demand for a Sign Matthew 12:38-45, Luke 11:24-26, 29-36 -Matthew- 43 When the unclean spirit is gone out of a man, he walketh through dry places, seeking rest, and findeth none. 44 Then he saith, I will return into my house ...read more

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    Three weeks ago, we studied how God invites us to ask Him. Therefore, do not hesitate to ask for something or express our wishes to God. The Lord Jesus said, "Ask, and it will be given to you." (Matthew 7:7). If so, why are there prayers that God does not answer? You may have ...read more

    God invites us to ask Him, and we will receive (Mat 7:7). But why does He sometimes not answer our prayers? This sermon series explains several possibilities for why God does not grant our prayers.

    We have learned that God invites us to ask Him what we need (Matthew 7:7) because, number one, God wants us to be close to Him; number two, God wants us to always depend on Him; and number three, God wants to show His love to us. When we ask something from Him, we must be ready to get His ...read more

    I want you to consider John the Baptist. It is so easy for us to take a cursory look at this man, as we pass through the early chapters of the Gospels, and move on to study the ministry of Jesus with no more thought given to the Baptist, other than remembering him as the one who had the solemn ...read more
