Seeking God's Heart - Lord's Prayer Week 2 Series

Contributed by Matthew Stoll on Nov 29, 2006

Our prayer life must begin with our relationship with our heavenly Father. God wants us to spend time in his presence even before anything else so we can know his heart. Only afterward should we pray for our needs and the needs of others.

Last week we looked at how prayer is one of the primary ways in which we stay connected to God, or the way Jesus said it, to abide in him, or to be in a relationship with God. All of these terms describe the same thing. Prayer was how Jesus stayed connected to God his Father when he walked the ...read more

Light In Earthen Vessels

Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 29, 2022

In our message we’re going to view a story about an ordinary man who had an intense struggle with trusting God, and this man’s name was Gideon.

I Saw You Under The Fig Tree

Contributed by Samuel M on Jan 23, 2024

What did Jesus see under the fig tree, and what was Nathaniel doing there? Maybe Nathanael was in a quiet prayer time under the fig tree, and Jesus saw or heard Nathaniel’s prayer. "I saw you under the fig tree" means I saw you in your quiet time alone with God under the fig tree.

You are the King of Israel!” John 1:48-49 Jesus and Nathanael had an instant ...read more
