    Knowing He was hours from being murdered, Jesus could have used His divine privilege to get out of what was coming, but He didn’t. His prayer in the garden teaches us how to pray in the midst of hardship and how to deal with unanswered prayer.

    24: The Last Hours of Jesus “The Garden” And being in anguish, he prayed more earnestly, and his sweat was like drops of blood falling to the ground.” -Luke 22:44 Key Scripture: Luke 22:39-45 Key Thought: Having just been betrayed by a close friend and knowing that his accusers were coming to ...read more

    Praying With Power

    Most Christians say they believe in prayer but in reality, they don’t see much power in it. I think the reason for this is they don’t pray much. Like the subject of love it is easy to talk about but not as easy to put into practice.

    Praying With Power James 5: 13-18 Do you remember the TV commercial for the investment firm of E.F. Hutton? What was their catch slogan? When E.F. Hutton speaks people listen. Well you know what? When Christians pray, God listens. I read of a town in the mid-west that had two churches and ...read more

    God is calling on soldiers of Christ to arise and use the weapon of prayer, to contend in battle in the place of prayer so we, our families, the church of God and our nation can be delivered from every evil work.

    Introduction Arise and contend in battle is not a suggestion, an advice or a plea. It is an order. An order that can only come from a Commander-in-Chief or head of an army. Indeed God is our Commander in Chief who based on Deuteronomy 2:24, has issued an order to us to arise and contend in battle. ...read more

    By using the story of the gentile woman, whose daughter was possessed, we can learn the process of prayer, and how we need to become nothing to allow God to work through us and bless us abundantly whilst doing so.

    This sermon was delivered to Holy Trinity Church in Ayr, Ayrshire, Scotland on the 8th September 2024 (a Scottish Episcopal Church in the Dioceses of Glasgow and Dumfries). “Please join me in my prayer.” Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of our hearts, be acceptable in your sight, O ...read more
