    Prayer is necessary both in secret and in the public places or congregational gathering. When you pray in the secret, you are applying and observing scriptural principle in your life.

    The Lesson to be learned here is that prayer which begins with sighing generally ends in singing. We need to pray with purpose. We need to spend each day in prayer to God.

    PRAYING WITH PURPOSE-- PSALMS 5:1-12 Introduction: Those who believe in and practice set forms of prayer can find no justification for such in the Book of Psalms. There is a complete disregard for mechanical praying throughout the book. When you have a burning concern, praying come from the ...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

    Walking in hope means allowing our vision of the life to come to permeate our daily life here and now. How do we do this?

    This morning, I’d like to continue looking at the topic of "hope" which we began last week. Let’s begin with the basics. Hope is a function of two things: First, it arises from the fact that we have desires, that we prefer some things over others. Otherwise, we would be completely indifferent to ...read more

    Watch and pray, so that you will not fall into temptation. Watching excites prayer, for every enemy we see will move us to pray more earnestly. Moreover, watching is prayer. If there be true watching, the watching itself is prayer.

    Prayer is more than reading God a list of things He already knows. We may want to try some new ways to be more engaged in prayer.

    “Ways to Pray” Pastor Bob Leroe, Cliftondale Congregational Church, Saugus, Massachusetts Are you satisfied with your prayer life? Or are you struggling? It’s not always easy to pray.

    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.

    Many people question the purpose and effectiveness of prayer. Often, prayers not answer in the method we would prefer, or in the time frame we would like, are mistaken as unanswered prayers. In this message, I attempt to give a biblical response to the question, "Why Pray?".

    Biblical Answers to Life’s Tough Questions: Why Pray? Phil 4:6-7 People have asked the question before, “What is the point in prayer?”. Their argument is that, if by praying we can change God’s mind, then He isn’t sovereign. If he doesn’t change His mind, then He is superfluous. Many people ...read more

    Praying in the will of God. Last week we looked at whole idea of reflecting on the words of scripture using divine reading or lectio divina.
