    In the model prayer we are told by our Lord to pray for the kingdom to come and in Revelation chapter 20 we see the establishing of the kingdom.

    Thy Kingdom Come Revelation 20:1-6 In these first 6 verses the term “A Thousand Years” is used in which we call a millennial. This is when the Lord will come and reign upon the earth from the throne of David in Jerusalem. Mention: Matt. 6:9-10 Thy kingdom come…we are told to pray ...read more

    Death Of The Righteous

     | 15,194 views

    Christians pray about heaven but no one really wants to die. Death I have come to understand is a vehicle to glory for a Christian.

    To man death of a righteous man means a waste. Their place is left vacant and what they used to do is left undone. We mourn and cry for we see them no more. Wondering whether we would ever see them again even in eternity as we are still on the journey hoping to reach the right destination in ...read more

    [continuing the pastoral prayer]… Glorify your servant today. Help him to preach well so that those who hear might be impressed and tell their friends how great he is.

    If you want God to go with you through life, repent of your rebellion, relish his presence every day, and pray.

    One day, Jay Leno got a letter from a kid saying he was in trouble because he had told his friends that Leno was his uncle and that they would drive around in his uncle’s Lamborghini. The kid’s friends called him a big liar, so the boy asked Jay Leno if he could drive him to school in his ...read more

    The Disciples of Jesus wanted him to teach them how to pray. So Jesus taught them “The Lord’s Prayer”.

    In Matthew 6:9-13: “This, then, is how you should pray: “‘Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, 10 your kingdom come, your will be done,     on earth as it is in heaven. 11 Give us today our daily bread. 12 And forgive us our ...read more

    This sermon encourages Christians to actively engage in spiritual warfare, using divine weapons provided by God, and to pray unceasingly for strength and wisdom.

    Beloved congregation, we stand today on the precipice of a profound revelation, a revelation that will surely strengthen our faith and fortify our hearts. We gather here not as mere spectators, but as active participants in a glorious drama, a drama that unveils the grandeur of our God and the ...read more

    Jesus gives pastors as a loving gift to His church, calling us to honor, support, and pray for them as they shepherd and serve us.

    Some of the greatest gifts Jesus gives to His church have names and faces, coffee-stained sermon notes, calloused knees, and tender hearts. They stand at hospital bedsides, whisper prayers in empty sanctuaries, answer phone calls after midnight, and show up again on Sunday with a smile that says, ...read more

    God’s justice and faithfulness empower us to pray boldly, resist the enemy, and finish the year with steadfast faith and triumphant praise.

    Friends, as we gather today, I sense a hush of holy expectation. The kind that settles the soul and steadies the heart. The year has been full of peaks and potholes, headlines and heartaches, but here we are—still held, still hearing the whisper of a faithful God. Some of us carry victories we ...read more

    The Power Of Prayer

    Contributed by Mitch Davis on Aug 8, 2006
    based on 10 ratings
     | 13,164 views

    We talk about prayer, study about it and state how we should pray. But how many of us - practically speaking - have untapped the power of prayer?

    The Power of Prayer Theme: what makes prayer so powerful INTRODUCTION A. Satan knows… 1. If he can afflict the people of God… 2. Or somehow weaken their faith… 3. Then they (God’s people) will be distracted from using their most powerful weapon against him: prayer. B. God knows… 1. If we place our ...read more

     | 4,619 views

    God’s people aren’t immune from grumbling and murmuring, but those who wish to lead effectively will pray for divine solutions in handling dissension.

    In a small, struggling situation like those of many churches, it is tempting to look upon the “growing pains” of the early church with some degree of envy. They were adding to the church daily. They were filling up Jerusalem to overflowing with excitement about Jesus’ resurrection and the presence ...read more

    Parables Of The Kingdom – The First - The Sower Or Rather The Soil – Part 2 Of 5 Series

    Contributed by Ron Ferguson on Jul 31, 2025
     | 266 views

    We continue with an examination of the parable of the Sower and look at the seed that fell on the hard, barren pathways and beside the road. What are the birds of the air? How does the devil snatch away the sown word? This is a very instructive parable.

    PARABLES OF THE KINGDOM – THE FIRST - THE SOWER OR RATHER THE SOIL – Part 2 of 5 In the first message of the Parable of the Sower, we studied the introduction to the 7 Parables of the Kingdom from Matthew’s Gospel chapter 13. We looked at the seed being sown and the four types of soil. All the ...read more
