    I want you to imagine with me for a moment. Picture a small, humble home in the heart of Jerusalem. The air is thick with the scent of freshly baked bread, and the sound of children playing in the streets filters through the open window. In this home, a woman kneels with her hands clasped tightly ...read more

    When The Church Prays Acts 12:1-19 A Sunday School teacher was struggling to open a combination lock that was placed on the supply closet in the church.

    We need to pray as Jesus instructed us.

    TEACH US TO PRAY Text: Matt. 6:9-13 Introduction 1. Illustration: In his classic book With Christ In The School Of Prayer, author Andrew Murray says, “Jesus never taught His disciples how to preach, only how to pray.” 2. We have designated 2020 as a year of rest and reflection. During that time, ...read more

    This sermon explores the transformative power of prayer in personal, public, and communal contexts, emphasizing its role in aligning our will with God's.

    Good morning, beloved. We gather here today, not as mere spectators, but as active participants in the glorious symphony of God's love, grace, and mercy. We are here to engage with God's Word, to allow it to seep into our souls, to let it transform us from the inside out. Today, we are going to ...read more

    Paul's second prayer for the church in Ephesus is a great model of how we can pray for our church and for other churches today, for God to strengthen his people with power.

    PRAYING FOR THE CHURCH INTRODUCTION We’ve now come to the sixth and last in our mini-series on prayer. We first looked at Gideon’s prayer for guidance. Then we spent two weeks on the Lord’s Prayer. Then we had two weeks on Daniel’s prayer of confession on behalf of his people. Today we’re ...read more

    We tend to pray in a panic, when we could have prayed in preparation. Our prayer must also be responsible, accepting our own measure of responsibility.

    Takoma Park Baptist Church, Washington, DC, September 21, 1986 One young friend of mine, taking the Scripture quite seriously and quite literally, where it says, "Ask anything in my name, and I will do it" – taking that verse to the nth degree, reports that he is still waiting for the Lord ...read more

    Following a time of prayer, one of Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them how to pray. Luke records an abbreviated version of the Lord's prayer and then includes elements that encourage us to be bold in our prayer, promising provision and presence from God.

    Over the last couple of sections of Luke’s gospel, we’ve considered the importance of loving God with all that we are and loving others. We’ve also reflected on the value of sitting before Jesus in order to just be with Him and learn before we get in to the practice of serving. It seems like in ...read more

    Prayer is a powerful, intimate encounter with God that brings healing, unity, and hope when we approach Him honestly and support one another.

    Some of us walked in today with a whisper instead of a shout. Hearts carry heavy headlines—doctor’s reports, strained relationships, silent worries that keep us wide awake at 3 a.m. You’ve prayed before, and maybe your prayer felt like a paper airplane tossed into a hurricane. But friend, the God ...read more

    When threatened, the church responded with a prayer of personal commitment rather than praying against those who were persecuting them.

    Praying in the Face of Opposition TEXT: Acts 4:23-31 BACKGROUND: After the glorious healing of the crippled man at the gate of the temple, Peter (with John alongside him) preaches a powerful message to those who are amazed. This upsets the elders and the teachers of the law who seize Peter ...read more

    Summary: The Lord strengthens us through His Word, and it works great when we receive it in Spirit and truth.

    Have faith and pray! My Christian brother, and sisters, you know that "Faith comes from hearing the message, and the message comes through preaching Christ" (Romans 10:17, GNT). We get strength from the Lord when we read His Word and receive it in Spirit and truth. Whatever we need, ...read more

    Understand and find comfort in the fact that Jesus prays for us, interceding on our behalf, which is a testament to God's profound love for us.

    Good morning, family. What a blessing it is to be gathered here today in the presence of God. There's a beautiful quote from A.W. Tozer that says, "God never hurries. There are no deadlines against which he must work. Only to know this is to quiet our spirits and relax our nerves." Let that sink ...read more

    Have you ever felt like you were in the wrong place, at the wrong time?

    Would you like to pray more? Better? Deeper? Stronger? With more fire, faith, and fervency? In Matthew 6, Jesus teaches his disciples to pray sincerely, secretly, simply and securely.

    Prayer (1) Scott Bayles, pastor Blooming Grove Christian Church: 2/22/2015 A young man stepped up to the checkout-counter in a small drugstore with three boxes of chocolate: small, medium, and large.

    Have Faith And Pray

    Our Christian life is not to be confined to a closet. Our belief must be revealed in our practice. If we walk in Christ, then we must act as Christ would act because Christ is in us-our hopes, our love, our joy and our lives. We are Christ's reflection.

    At first glance, the reading from Hosea 1:2-10 doesn't seem to make sense. Would God really ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? Well, the answer is yes he can, and yes he did. You see, this was part of God's plan, and we all know that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes God's ways don't ...read more

    Many times we pray to God when we need something; many times we pray to God when things are going badly for us, and we need things in our life to turn around; many times we pray when we are in crisis mode, and we don’t have anywhere else to turn.
