    In these days of uncertainty -- of war and violence -- we should look to the ladies outside the tomb for an example of what we can do.

    Please e-mail me with any comments or if you use any part of this at your church at Mail4ChrisR@aol.com. I would love to hear about it. God Bless! - Chris Today is a day of uncertainty. Our lives, whether consciously or unconsciously, are filled with anxiety about the future of our communities, ...read more

    When we pray do we expect God to answer? Your prayer releases God’s power to work on the earth.

    July 6, 2008 Morning Worship Text: Luke 11:1-13 Subject: Prayer Title: Praying for Results I suppose that there isn’t a Christian anywhere that doesn’t pray. I know for a fact that even non-Christians pray (I did before I accepted Jesus). But I wonder how many people know how to pray in order to ...read more

    Prayer is meant to be at the heart of a relationship to Jesus. Jesus assumes you are already praying. He doesn’t say IF you pray but WHEN you pray any relationship is built and strengthened through communication and with God, that’s prayer

    Why Pray? Matthew 6:1-13 Prayer is meant to be at the heart of a relationship to Jesus. In our Scripture today, Jesus assumes you are already praying. He doesn’t say IF you pray but WHEN you pray. Last week, we learned that Jesus is directing the Sermon on the Mount to hypocrites. The Greek ...read more

    Sometimes we wonder how to pray for missionaries and other leaders we have never met. Paul had never met the Colossians, but he faithfully prayed for them. His prayers teach us how to pray for others, whether we know them or not.

    COLOSSIANS 1: 9-12 PRAYING FOR OTHERS [Ezekiel 22:30] Every Christian can minister directly to the spiritual well-being of other believers without seeing or speaking to them. We can play a role in their spiritual growth, and even secure God's blessings for them. Intercessory pray accomplishes ...read more

    Jesus urges us to be specific in prayer (Adapted from Bob Hostetler's book, the Red Letter Prayer Life; chapter 9 of the same title)

    HoHum: Read Mark 10:46-52 Bob Hostetler encourages us to think of it this way: Bartimaeus heard the sounds of the crowd approaching from his spot on the roadside near Jericho. He couldn’t see them, however. He was blind. He was a familiar sight to others on their way in and out of Jericho, ...read more

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more

    A better way to pray in order to get to the root of th problem

    Praying in the Spirit Praying in the Spirit is important as well in our healing experience. Many times we do not know how to pray about something because we can’t really pinpoint the problem.

    While Scripture reveals that God is loving, merciful, and gracious—a savior of repentant sinners, one truth about Him that is decidedly unpopular today is that He is a God of vengeance against those who reject Him and salvation in His Son.

    Observing common perceptions, it has been said that God created humanity in His image and humanity has returned the favor. People have created gods in whatever form pleases them to accommodate their sinful lifestyles. God rebuked such foolish people in Psalm 50:21: “You thought that I was just like ...read more
