    Contributed by Warner Pidgeon on Sep 7, 2013
     | 4,864 views

    Starting a new series of talks on prayer I begin with some personal struggles and encourage the congregation to desire to be in the presence of the God.

    If someone is listening to your prayers, and they were making a judgment about your relationship with the Lord solely on your prayers, how strong of a relationship with the Lord will those who hear you pray say that you have?

    After 2 tornadoes hit a house in Alabama, only the prayer closet was left! Time in the Prayer Closet changes us, refreshes us, brings us peace, and washes our souls. It alters the future, the present and brings a great reward.

    Two Revealing Prayers Series

    Contributed by D. Dewaine Phillips on Mar 28, 2022
    based on 2 ratings
     | 4,647 views

    This passage records two prayers, in which are shown two kinds of hearts, whose contrast is not only seen in the way they make their requests, but also in the way they approach God. Some people trust in themselves; others trust in God.

    This evening’s sermon is entitled “Two Revealing Prayers,” and it’s taken from what is commonly called “The Parable of the Pharisee and the Tax Collector.” Darrell Bock, in The NIV Application Commentary, says, “This parable is really the parable of the two prayers. In those prayers appear two ...read more

    When we lived in Japan, we often rode the trains. Just outside the train window we could see houses very close to the tracks as we whizzed past.

    Prayer Is Seeking Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on Oct 3, 2011
     | 3,578 views

    We may say that we forgive, but when the next irritation arises we are quick to dredge up the past problems. We like to "bury the hatchet" with the handle sticking out. That way we can easily pick it up again and use it to our advantage.

INTRODUCTION: There is a lot of confusion about forgiveness. Here is an example. Old Joe was dying. For years he had been at odds with Bill, who used to be ...read more

    Fervency in prayer is like the tension a string puts on a bow, it transfers its energy to the arrow to make it fly straight and true. An effective prayer is one that is successful in producing a desired or intended result.
