    Waiting faith and expectant trust.

    AN OPEN-ENDED PRAYER. Psalm 123:1-4. This is a short, impassioned prayer: a plea for help in the face of adversaries. It begins with adoration, with an abrupt “Unto You…” (PSALM 123:1). This is a song of Ascents and its opening may be paralleled to another: ‘I to the hills will lift ...read more

    Where Is Your Gethsemane?

    Contributed by Pastor Dre on Jun 18, 2018

     | 20,259 views

    Here is a short sermon that encourages us as a Christian to have a place Gethsemane, a time where we spend time with God to get the strength to do His Will. Jesus spent time in Gethsemane to get a hold of the Father, how much more should we.

    Matthew 26:36-39 36 - Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” 37 - He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. 38 - Then he said to them, “My soul is ...read more

    Your life is a frail flower, not an oak tree. Be fragrant like a blue bonnet, not a stink weed or an irritant like ragweed.

    Jas 1:10  But the rich, in that he is made low: because as the flower of the grass he shall pass away.  11  For the sun is no sooner risen with a burning heat, but it withereth the grass, and the flower thereof falleth, and the grace of the fashion of it perisheth: so also shall the ...read more

     | 13,001 views

    The motto, "Only one life, twill soon be past; only what's done for Christ will last", forms the three points of this sermon of the fact that we only have one life to live in which to prepare for eternity, and that live is brief and and serious.

    “Only One Life”—My Favorite Motto Chuck Slih March 10, 2014 TEXT: James 4:14 – “Whereas ye know not what shall be on the morrow. For what is your life? It is even a vapor, that appeareth for a little time, and then vanisheth away.” INTRODUCTION Years ago I ...read more

    The focus of this sermon was to help our students know the purpose of letting God become greater and for them to become less, and that he is theirs, always with them.

    Let God be Bigger: John 3:30 Sometimes in our lives we forget about what is truly important. We are always go go go, and rarely stop to thank the person/people in that means most to us in our lives.

     | 13,652 views

    This prayer serves as a model for us in prayer, both in praying for ourselves and praying for others in the family of God. This three phase prayer builds, each phase upon the previous, culminating in a request that God’s ultimate goal be reached in us.

    A Prayer For The Church Family Ephesians 3:14-19 One of the best ways to discover a Christian’s chief anxieties and ambitions is to study the content of their prayers and the intensity with which they pray them. We all pray about what concerns us and we are evidently not concerned about matters we ...read more

    A Prayer For God’s Will

     | 4,072 views

    When it comes to praying for God’s will, we often find ourselves at a loss for words. Perhaps, the way to make the greatest impact is to ask for a blessing; to pray for the spiritual and material resources we need to enlarge the kingdom.

    I’ve entitled our message this morning “A Prayer for God’s Will.” When we think of God’s will we often have in mind how the Lord wants to use us for His glory; how God wants to include us in His plans and work through us to make an impact for the kingdom. But when it comes to praying for God’s ...read more

    Jesus is our Great High Priest. Without Him in this role, prayer would be empty words and hopeless. Yet, as High Priest Jesus makes intercession for us. Our praying is powerful because our High Priest Jesus actively works through our petition. What does Jesus do?

    Right now the Holy Spirit is touching someone I can guarantee that! Why not take five minutes now to pray for someone you know who needs Jesus.

    A short talk for a midweek Communion calling upon local believers to pray for, work for and live for the complete unity that Jesus prayed for. Not uniformity (because we're all different) but UNITY, in Jesus.

    Jesus prayed to his Heavenly Father for you. On the night he was betrayed and arrested (John 18:2), after he had washed his disciples’ feet (13:5), Jesus prayed an important prayer for you as individuals, for us together, and for the worldwide body of believers. He prayed for future ...read more
