    Waiting With Prayer

    Contributed by Daniel Habben on Nov 29, 2015
    based on 5 ratings
     | 8,707 views

    1) Hurry! 2) Halt! 3) Help! Isaiah models how we can patiently wait for the coming of the Messiah.

    Waiting. No one likes to do it. Coffee addicts don’t like having to wait for their morning cup to brew. Kids don’t like having to wait for their birthday to come. And no one likes waiting at the hospital emergency room. That’s the worst isn’t it? The fact that you’re ...read more

    Where do you turn to when difficulty, sickness, hardship comes into your life? Where do you turn to for wisdom, guidance, comfort? The first place we should turn to is pray.

    Nehemiah's Prayer Series

    Contributed by T.j. Conwell on Feb 1, 2016
    based on 1 rating
     | 21,324 views

    Nehemiah’s prayer shows us a very critical fact: Prayer is ALWAYS the right answer to what is going on in life. Whether you are facing a hardship, or a need for renewal, or asking for God's intervention -- prayer should always be our first response.

    Nehemiah’s Prayer Nehemiah 1:1-11; Deut 30:1-10 Introduction - Nehemiah is a great study of leadership, but also of obedience to God - Here is the critical thing to see this morning: prayer is always the right response -- Re: Lots of us will go through life acting and solving … ...read more

    What Is Prayer?

    Contributed by James Linders on Feb 2, 2016
     | 5,788 views

    Prayer is a conversation with God in His physical absence. We should ALWAYS TRUST God with our lives. The outcome of our prayer should NOT be based on our expectations and needs but on GOD'S will, immaterial of whether it is what we want.

    James 5:17-18 (ESV) "Elijah was a man with a nature like ours, and he prayed fervently that it might not rain, and for three years and six months it did not rain on the earth. Then he prayed again, and heaven gave rain, and the earth bore its fruit." To answer the question “What IS ...read more

    Childlike Prayer Series

    Contributed by Jeff Strite on Feb 28, 2016
    based on 15 ratings
     | 28,664 views

    A lot of people think if they just had the right "formula" for praying that God would hear them. But that's not true. God's not impressed with your form, He's impressed with your childlike faith in prayer. So, how can I have that kind of faith in prayer?

    I'd like you to recite the Lord’s Prayer with me: Our Father which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name. Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts, as we forgive our debtors. And lead us not into temptation, ...read more

    Built around the teachings of Jesus in Matthew 6 regarding prayer.

    “FUNDAMENTALS OF PRAYER” Matt. 6:5-15 INTRO – “God has strategically chosen to establish & utilize prayer as part of His sovereign plan for us. It is like oxygen to our spiritual lives. It provides the needed wind in our sails to propel everything we do as believers, & ...read more

    The Prayer That Prevails

    based on 12 ratings

    To establish that “the prayer of the righteous man availeth much" when it is prayed in passion, in piety and with the assurance of God's promise to hear and answer it.

    Wrestling In Prayer.

    Contributed by Christopher Holdsworth on Dec 30, 2014
    based on 11 ratings
     | 7,879 views

    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

    Contributed by Ajai Prakash on Jan 21, 2015
    based on 1 rating
     | 7,422 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

    Ephesians: Our Identity In Christ~Part 12 Prayer to Power Ephesians 3:14-21 14.

    The Leader And Prayer Series

    Contributed by Chris Appleby on Feb 20, 2015
     | 5,039 views

    Nehemiah was probably chosen for his position at court for his reliability, for his quick wits, for his initiative and probably for his grasp of palace politics but clearly he also had a deep spiritual maturity that shows itself as he turns to prayer.

    Have you ever looked at the great Christian leaders of our time and wondered what it was that gave them their success? Were they just natural leaders? Had they worked hard at their studies of management and leadership as so many young leaders today are taught to do? Or were they perhaps just the ...read more

    Jailhouse Prayer

    Can we be honest? we have all thrown up jail house prayers to the Lord when we were in a jam and needed His help. What is the better solution?

    Jailhouse prayer Acts 12:1-12:19 Introduction- Jailhouse prayer because we have all prayed desperation prayers when we were in a jam. We have been in the book of Acts looking at the life of the early church. We saw what a Barnabas church would look like in generosity and service. The challenge ...read more

    A Leper's Prayer

    Contributed by Bishop Malcolm Coby, Ph. D. on Aug 20, 2016
    based on 4 ratings
     | 16,833 views

    Life often presents extreme conditions from which we pray to overcome. Some conditions are described as hopeless. How do you pray in such times? This sermon challenges us to learn from a deplorable condition known as leprosy. Hear the prayer of a leper.

    This text illustrates what I choose to call A Leper’s Prayer. Before you think that it is irrelevant, you must understand the level of intensity in prayer that comes from the heart. I can’t think of a situation more drastic, more hideous or more undesirable than that of the life of a ...read more

    Unsafe Prayers

    Contributed by John Gaston on Aug 25, 2016
     | 6,020 views

    Unsafe prayers are those which take us out of our comfort zone, which expose us to God, which thrust us out into the realm of faith and cause us to completely rely on God. Are you ready to pray unsafe prayers?

    UNSAFE PRAYERS Jer. 42:20 INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE LUMBERYARD 1. A man went to the lumber yard and said to an attendant, “I want 5 4X2’s.” The attendant said, “Do you mean 2X4’s?” He answered, “Let me go out to the truck to ask.” 2. He went out ...read more

    Paul loved the church at Philippi and was committed to praying for them. We need to share the same commitment to pray for the church. There are real people with real needs, that need specific prayers.

    A Prayer of Purpose Philippians 1: 9-11 Following a gracious greeting and a word of thankfulness for their partnership in ministry, Paul offers a brief, but pointed prayer for the church in Philippi. Although his prayer is but three sentences long, it possesses great wisdom and reveals the heart ...read more
