Sermons on Praying Together:

Faith That Prays Series

Contributed by Derek Geldart on Jan 3, 2026

When injustice and God’s silence confuses us, true faith does not walk away but cries out honestly, bows humbly before God’s sovereignty, trusts His wisdom even when His methods are unsettling, and continues in prayerful dependence until faith rests fully in His unchanging character.

Why Pray? Series

Contributed by Brad Stone on Jun 29, 2024

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
