    based on 5 ratings
     | 6,118 views

    Fasting is not required in the New Testament, neither is it condemned. When used properly it can help us have a closer relationship with God

    Prayer And The Lord's Prayer

    Contributed by David Mcnally on Feb 24, 2014
    based on 2 ratings
     | 7,542 views

    The Lord's Prayer is not a 'carved in stone' set of words that we must use, but is a good guide for how to talk to God, Who wants us to pour out of hearts to Him, but not to try to impress others by our long and fancy words and 'super-spirituality'.

    Matthew 6 verses 5 – 13 PRAYING and THE LORD'S PRAYER Jesus based his teachings, and advice, and especially his parables on things, events and situations, that would be instantly recognisable and understandable to the people He was addressing. So, when He said ‘When you pray, do not ...read more

    A short talk, second in a series on prayer, in which I look at aspects of the Disciples' Prayer also known as the Lord's Prayer, or the Kingdom Prayer

    Do you ever feel as if life is just too busy? Would you like to be able to slow down, focus on what’s important in life, and consider some of life’s big questions? Upon retirement I don’t think there are many people who say, “If only I’d spent more time at the ...read more

    Prayer is one of the greatest gifts God has given us - but it's also one of the most forsaken by today's Christian. Jesus gives us an example of how to pray and then goes on to show us three attitudes / behaviours that hinder our prayer life. Also inclu

     | 2,169 views

    In this message we will examine what Jesus said about fasting. While it is common for people to say they are fasting from watrching TV, playing video games, etc, this is not scripturally an accurate protrayal of what fasting truly is and the power that comes through it when combined with prayer.

    Living in the Kingdom 15 Scripture: Matthew 6:16-18; 17:14-21; Isaiah 58:2-6; Psalms 35:13 This is a continuation of my series, “Living in the Kingdom.” This morning we will examine what Jesus says about fasting and riches in His Sermon on the Mount.

    In this message we will examine what Jesus said about asking and receiving. He was not talking about a formula to always get what we want, but about our relationship with God.

    What Is Prayer?

    Contributed by James Linders on Feb 2, 2016
     | 5,845 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

    Growing your faith in action

    In our reading from the gospel today, The apostles said to the Lord, "Increase our faith!"

    The Purpose Of Prayer

    Contributed by John Lowe on May 7, 2014
     | 6,516 views

    We are to pray so that we might commune with God and share with Him the most deeply felt needs of our lives. We are to express to God the gratitude and the praise and the joy we feel in Him and in salvation. Paul elaborated on the purpose of prayer.

     | 17,334 views

    Rest is not only vital to our spiritual lives, it is imperative if we are to be effective. Through the prayer of rest, God places his children in the eye of the storm. When all around us is chaos and confusion, deep within we know stability and serenity

    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
