David’s 911 Call For Help! (2 Of 2)

Contributed by Dr. Odell Belger on Apr 4, 2022

We want to look again at the imprecatory prayer of David in Psalm 35.

He has to be careful because it would be easy to convey to people that we can use God to strike back at our enemies. This is not what the Bible teaches. In fact, it teaches just the opposite. Look at Matthew 5:44, “But I say unto you, Love your enemies, bless them that curse you, do good to ...read more

Thy Word I Have Hidden In My Heart Series

Contributed by Scott Maze on Sep 13, 2022

Psalm 119 isn’t blasé about God’s commandments. Psalm 119 isn’t neural about God’s precepts. Psalm 119 loves and adores the law of God!

Why Praying Is Difficult

Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 11, 2026

Why don’t we pray? Or, if we do pray, why do we often feel guilty that we aren’t praying as frequently, or as much, or as fervently as we should? What’s holding us back? This sermon examines five reasons that we struggle with prayer, and how to overcome them.

This morning, I’d like to talk with you about a spiritual discipline which is at the core of the Christian life. This is something which everyone acknowledges is important, and valuable, and rewarding. We all agree that it’s a good thing. And yet, we may also hope that no one inquires too closely ...read more
