    This sermon uses Ephesians 3:14-21 to give biblical teaching on the NEC core value of Praying And Worshipping where we seek “To rely on the power of God by being a community which glorifies God in all that we do.”

As such I have removed the older sermon and just updated it. Message Praying and Worshipping A sermon on Ephesians 3:14-21 Do you have days ...read more

    Contributed by Vic Folkert on Apr 15, 2019
     | 5,215 views

    God's name stands for him. When we pray for his name to be hallowed, 1) We are saying that he is the foundation of our lives, and 2) We are committing ourselves to show his holiness by our worship and actions in the world.

When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, ‘Lord, teach us to pray’ … He said to them, ‘When you pray, say: “Father, hallowed be your name.”’ Jesus wants us to pray that ...read more

     | 7,737 views

    Psalm 20 was a prayer for the king who was going into battle. But this psalm applies to us too. In Psalm 20 we see love, care and concern as well as encouragement, faith and trust. It's a good psalm to focus on, take to heart and pray.

    PRAYING PSALM 20 (part one) Last week I talked about getting alone with God in silent solitude. Obviously when we do that we are going to spend at least some of that time in prayer.

    we should be in a continual state of prayer and communication with God! Our prayer life is our umbilical cord and life support system, that makes our measure of faith God has given to us, radioactive for every circumstance we encounter!
