    When Darkness Prays Series

    Contributed by David Dunn on Nov 27, 2025
     | 41 views

    Psalm 88 reveals faithful lament in unrelenting darkness, showing God’s presence in despair and Christ’s promise to carry us toward the dawn.

    INTRODUCTION — THE NIGHT THAT NEVER BREAKS Some Psalms begin with lament and end with praise. Some start in the valley and finish on the mountaintop. Some move from tears to trust, from sorrow to singing, from pain to peace. Psalm 88 is not one of those Psalms. It is the only Psalm in the entire ...read more

    Often our prayers for each other consist of focusing on each others needs... but as vital as that kind of prayer can be, there is a more important prayer we can lift up for each other.

    OPEN: A preacher by the name of Larry Davies shared that during one worship service, he asked: "Are there any prayer needs today?" · One person mentioned a neighbor who was sick. · Another spoke of a couple with financial problems. · A young man asked us to pray for the family of a friend’s ...read more

    Joshua #6

    WHEN TO STOP PRAYING Joshua 7 I want us to go on an imaginary expedition together... an archeological expedition. You ready? We are in a God-forsaken valley. The sun is beating down on us.

    This prayer is often wrongly used, however. We are not to just mindlessly repeat it from rote memory, but we are to use it as a framework upon which we can build a prayer life that is offered to God, heard and answered by Him, and one that glorifies His

    Illustration: A little boy was saying his bedtime prayers with his mother: "Lord, bless Mommy and Daddy, and God, GIVE ME A NEW BICYCLE!!!" Mom: "God’s not deaf, son.

    It is an insult that is still used today on playgrounds across the globe. Little boys testing their strength and dexterity against one another revert back to this proverbial slap in the face by throwing down the gauntlet of this time proven stab. However

    Jesus prayer in John 17 closes with a powerful request for us who believe through the message of his first disciples. We are called to be one!

    Have Faith And Pray

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 5, 2015
     | 6,666 views

    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

    In today’s sermon we are going to look at each of these components of Paul’s prayer for the Colossians not with the intent of “babbling” it mechanically but to use it as a model of how one can effectively intercede for our loved ones before a holy God!

    WHEN YOU PRAY Once upon a time there was a man who loved hunting. He wasn’t a Christian, in fact he would usually go hunting on Sunday mornings while everyone else was in church.

    This sermon looks at four words and their meaning that should be an integral part of our prayer lives. They are "spare," "restore," "draw," and "revive," and then why we pray and ask this in Jesus's name.

    What should our attitude and praying be like since we have been enlisted in the war-time effort of spreading the gospel?

    As your turning to Acts 4:23-31, I want to read what John Piper wrote concerning prayer. Listen to the imagery that he uses as he describes the true purpose of prayer. “Life is war. That’s not all it is. But it is always that. Our weakness in prayer is owing largely to our neglect of ...read more
