    Contributed by Alan Perkins on Jan 11, 2026
     | 504 views

    Why don’t we pray? Or, if we do pray, why do we often feel guilty that we aren’t praying as frequently, or as much, or as fervently as we should? What’s holding us back? This sermon examines five reasons that we struggle with prayer, and how to overcome them.

We’re even more glad that no one can read our thoughts when we give. Giving. When I teach in a clear, direct, pointed ...read more
