    It would be my guess that the most powerful prayer that Jonah ever prayed was in the belly of a fish. It’s possible that the most powerful prayer you have ever prayed was when you were in trouble as well. If crisis drives us to pray that's a good thing!

    When it’s hard to pray, Pray Harder! Jonah 2:1-10 Sometimes what you think might do you in will be the one thing that saves you. Sometimes the worst possible thing that can happen to you is exactly what you need. Sometimes the thing you fear the most is the very thing that will turn your ...read more

    The purpose of this sermon is two-fold: to explore Jesus’ prayer for unity and the Scriptural mandates for unity to occur; and secondly, to enlist the congregation’s commitment to see it happen among us!

    Prayer is vital for the believer, but prayer is not so much in the words as it is in the attitude behind those words. This model prayer lays forth a template that guides the believer in the direction of their prayer and the attitude of their heart.

    This sermon/study is a conglomeration of my notes for my church family and a HEAVY dose of help from W.Phillip Keller and his book "A Layman Looks at the Lord's Prayer" I thank Mr. Keller for his inspiring words and depth of understanding of this matter, God has used him mightily to touch so many ...read more
