    Praying A Promise Series

    The subject we are looking at is not the miracle that God performed with Hannah and her husband Elkanah, nor is it about the maltreatment from another family member that led to bitterness. Both would be great subjects. Today I would like to look at the subject of “Praying A Promise.”

    Discovering The Precious Promises Of God “Praying A Promise” I Samuel 1:9-18 4-24-2020AM We have in our text today a familiar passage that has been preached by many preachers. I am not here to top what they have said, but to bring out a truth that has been on my heart. The subject we are ...read more

    Praying The Word

    The word of God is quick and powerful.. It is sharper than any two edged sword. The word of God is his will. When we pray the word of God, we pray his will for our lives.

    Prayer is the heart cry of man to God. It is believers communicating with thier father and getting a response from him. When we pray according to God's will, he answers and grants our petitions. When we however pray amiss we may not get what we desire. James 4 vs 3 says: "Ye ask and ...read more

    In these uncertain times it is important that Christians begin praying with a purpose. This is my first "remote" message to my congregation in light of not being able to worship together because of COVID-19.

    Praying With Purpose Scriptures: Matthew 6:5-8; 25-34; 7:7-8; Luke 22:44-46 As you know, I have been doing a series on the word “IF” and how it is used in Scripture to show some of the conditions that we must meet as we walk in fellowship with God.

    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.

    Can our prayers really change an all-powerful and all-knowing God’s mind? How does prayer work? We’re going to see prayer in action as we examine a prayer offered by Abraham to the Lord. He prayed boldly and the Lord responded. What can we learn from that prayer about the prayers we offer?

    Nearly 1000 years after Abraham lived, the Lord wrote through the psalmist, “Call on me in the day of trouble; I will deliver you, and you will honor me” (Psalm 50:15). The invitation was not a new one from the Lord. It was an invitation that God had extended to his people from the beginning of ...read more

    When you pray, pray sincerely, simply, and assuredly, for powerful praying is a sure, simple, sincere sharing of your heart with a Heavenly Father who already knows your need.

    A journalist assigned to the Jerusalem bureau took an apartment overlooking the Wailing Wall. Every day when she looked out, she saw an old Jewish man praying vigorously. So, the journalist went down and introduced herself to the old man. She asks, “You come every day to the wall. How long have ...read more

    Prayer that Works takes work, along with persistence, risk, and righteousness before God. In this sermon, we're going to try to close the gap between what we say about prayer and what we practice.

    Good morning. I invite you to turn in your copy of God’s Word to James chapter 5, but also to put a bookmark in 1 Kings chapter 18, because we are going to spend some time there as well. The story is told of the western town that had experienced a hard drought. One of the local churches announced ...read more

    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

    Sometimes we may be frustrated with our political system, with what our leaders do while in office, with our government as a whole. Yet, God calls us to obey the law, pray for our leaders, and above all, follow God.

    Saints it is time that we made prayer a priority in our daily living. If you do not have a regular prayer time you need to establish one. Jesus did. If you do not have a war room of your own you need to make one today.

    Time for Prayer Psalm 66:18-20 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.
