    Why Pray?

    Contributed by John Gaston on Jul 2, 2022
    based on 1 rating
     | 3,036 views

    Prayer is not a monologue but a conversation between us and God. Those in contact with God have vision, they have a power within that can change people around them, they have authority with God and insight into what God is doing.

    WHY PRAY? INTRODUCTION A. HUMOR: THE PASTOR’S PRAYER. 1. A Sunday School teacher was struggling to open the combination lock on the supply cabinet. He couldn't quite remember the combination. Finally, he went to the pastor and asked for help. The pastor came and began to turn the dial. ...read more

    The Two Sides Of Prayer

    Contributed by Melvin Maughmer, Jr. on Aug 4, 2022
     | 4,853 views

    . Prayer is the soul’s sincere desire, Uttered or unexpressed, The motion of a hidden fire That trembles in the breast. Prayer is the burden of a sigh, The falling of a tear; The upward glancing of an eye, When none but God is near. –Author unknown.

    The Two Sides of Prayer By Bishop Melvin L. Maughmer, Jr. OPENING: - Oftentimes prayer is the most neglected area in a person’s life. The lack of prayer has weakened our spiritual body and because of this we often find ourselves spiritually feeble, without strength and even the crumbling of our ...read more

    In Acts 3:15, the Bible calls Jesus the “author of life.” It is of utmost importance that we realize that the origin of abundant life is Jesus Christ; and that His abundant life is everlasting, both now and in the age to come eternal.

    In Acts 3:15 Jesus Christ is called “the Prince of life.” Jesus said, “I have come that they may have life, and that they may have it more abundantly” (John 10:10b). John 1:4 tells us, “In Him was life, and the life was the light of men.” 2 Peter 1:3 declares of Jesus that “His divine power has ...read more

    When you know you’re going to have a bad day, affirm God’s justice; affirm God’s authority; and affirm God’s mercy. It will help you get through the day.

    According to a recent survey, the average American knows their day is going to be bad by 8:36 a.m. in the morning. For example, they say, “You know you’re going to have a bad day if you wake up feeling sick (35%), if you suffer from poor sleep (31%), or if you start the day with a headache (29%).” ...read more

    We are starting our series in Paul’s letter to Ephesians so turn to Ephesians 1:1-2. Today I want to introduce the author, the recipients, his prayer in writing, and then give a summary of the letter.

    The Author: The Source of His Authority (1a) The letter opens with Paul identifying himself as the author. In those days, the author did this at the beginning of letters rather than the end as we do. He writes as one with authority to instruct the church and this authority qualifies him to write. ...read more

    Who would have ever dreamed that in the United States of America, it would be against the law to go to church, sing praises to God, or have a Bible Study in your house? What happens when it is against the law to pray?

    I want to talk to you about a story in the Book of Daniel. And the story is about the person Daniel.

     | 16,006 views

    From the church of Thyatira we learn that we fall from grace when we allow any other authority than Jesus Christ to rule in our lives, and His church is weakened by rebellion against His established church leadership.

    If there’s one thing we’ve learned as we’ve studied the first three churches of Revelation, it’s that there’s nothing new under the sun. As we’ve taken the time to look so far at these churches, we can see that no matter what we as a church are going through at this point in history – whatever it ...read more
