     | 6,067 views

    Jesus teaches us and his disciples how to pray. Don't take the Lord's Prayer for granted but break it down and use it as a guide to how to pray

    Let Us Pray Matthew 6:5-15 When you think of prayer maybe you think of something like one of these two stories taken from Our Daily Bread.

    Praise And Worship As It Pertains To Leadership

    Contributed by Charles Jones on Apr 14, 2020
     | 7,190 views

    A worship leader must be a person of proven character, whose personal life and integrity is above reproach. As a humble servant of God, his/her actions will always call attention to God and never seek to bring glory to themself.

    Praise and Worship As It Pertains To Leadership We must follow God's ordained plan and pattern for spiritual leadership in the church if we expect God's anointing to come upon the praise and worship service.

    Rules, Guidelines, Boundaries… they all help convey limitations… something of a “you can go to this point (here) , but not that far (there)” premise. When God plunked Man into the Garden, there is only one rule…

    Jesus is hard to find today because He is systematically being "X'd" out of Christmas.

    The Christmas X-Files Today we find ourselves looking into a time in the life of Jesus that He is missing.

     | 8,862 views

    Attaining the church's purpose is about "keeping the main thing the main thing." People must not only "know" the core values, but they must also "hear" them continually restated so they can envision what they're working towards.

    Proverbs states, “Where there is no vision, the people perish” (Proverbs 29:18 KJV). Bill Hybels, in his book Courageous Leadership, tells us, “When a leader is casting a vision publicly the goal is to help people know, understand, and remember the ‘main thing’.”(1) Purpose is all about keeping ...read more
