    Prayer's Missing Link Series

    Contributed by Nathan Johnson on Dec 31, 2007
    based on 4 ratings
     | 3,419 views

    Jesus is no foreigner to prayer. He knows it intimately and He also knows that a heart that is unforgiving will make prayer ineffective and dead. The bondage of unforgiveness is something that will weigh us down so much that our prayers will be fruitles

Service Text: Matthew 6:9-15 Key Text: Matthew 6:14-15 The Introduction When Narvaez, the Spanish patriot, lay dying, his father-confessor asked him whether he had forgiven all his enemies.

     | 21,074 views

    Series on men and women’s prayers in the Bible that made a difference and how prayer truly is the difference maker in our lives. I borrowed the outlines from SermonCentral Pro Contributor Tim Byrd.

    Hezekiah: Prayer for Protection 2 Kings 20:1-7 As I have said each week, these are very obscure prayers. Sometimes hidden in the midst of a story or an unusual event in the Bible we find these people of God crying out to Him in prayer and we see through these prayers the mighty power of God. ...read more

    An explanation of lighthouses of prayer and a call to be one.

    Luke 10:1-9 January 6, 2008 The Sending Out of The Seventy-Two: Lighthouses of Prayer I grew up in the evangelical church, and through those years I heard and practiced many different methods of evangelism, or ways to draw the people around you to God through Jesus.

    The third in a series of four sermons entitled, ‘Prayer as a Second Language’

    This past week, our elementary, middle, and high school students joined with thousands of other Indiana students in taking the ISTEP test. I have not heard a great deal of thankfulness from my two for the test but I sense there has been a great deal of thankfulness for the conclusion of the test. ...read more

    God will shake our lives in a good way, when we ask Him for courage and power to do His will.

    Life-Shaking Prayer Acts 4:23-31 Intro: Peter, John, and the other believers gathered together and prayed a prayer that shook the Church. I’ve never experienced a church-quake in response to my prayers. Why do you suppose God did this for the early church? Perhaps it was God’s way of saying, “I ...read more

     | 8,331 views

    One of the most important activities in which a Christian should engage in is that of prayer.

    How to ASK in Prayer Matthew 7:7 There was a pastor who had a parrot. All the parrot would say was, “Let’s pray, let’s pray.” The pastor tried to teach him to say other things but to no avail. He learned that one of his deacons had a parrot. That parrot would only say, “Let’s kiss. Let’s ...read more

    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,845 views

    If we want to learn to pray, we must learn to obey. If we want to pray well, we must obey well. If we want to become prayer warriors, we must become obedient children.

    Many people come with a grocery list during prayer. Some want to impress the hearers with their flowery language. Well that does not impress God one bit. In essence your prayers reflect what you believe about God. Do we pray like the early apostles or ...

    Prayer Is Seeking Forgiveness Series

    Contributed by David Scudder on Oct 3, 2011
     | 3,467 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.

    Matthew 6:12, 14-15 Purpose: To highlight the importance of forgiveness. Aim: I want the listener to value their forgiveness and practice it. 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

     | 5,437 views

    Introducing a 30 part series on prayer keys. These are not incantations manipulating God to submit to our will, but guides leading us to submit to God’s will. "Lord teach us to pray."

    A 30 part study of prayer keys during our Wednesday night prayer meetings? You may think it will become boringly repetitive. No, No, NOOOO! During this study, we will hear how Mary, Queen of Scots, feared the prayers of John Knox more than the combined armies of Europe. We will hear Jonathan ...read more

    BE SPECIFIC when praying. Specific prayers emphasize our need and God’s power. Specific prayers may even clarify our calling.

    Prayer Keys - Be Specific “What do you want me to do for you?” “Lord, I want to see,” he replied. Lk 18:41 Praying specifically is a key to effective prayer. The blind man’s first request is for Jesus to have mercy on him. Jesus asks him specifically, “What do ...read more

    Prayer Keys - Fasting Series

    Contributed by Mark Stepherson on Oct 22, 2011
    based on 4 ratings
     | 6,855 views

    Legalistic fasting is not a prayer key. It is just going hungry. Spiritual awareness that prompts us to pray may also prompt us to fast. May God make us more spiritually aware. May his spirit prompt us to pray, even to the point of forgetting to eat.

    Prayer Keys - Fasting by Mark Stepherson “But when you fast, put oil on you head and wash your face, so that it will not be obvious to men that you are fasting, but only to your Father, who is unseen; and your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you.” Matthew 6:17-18 Did you ...read more

    Please forgive me for stating the obvious, but persistent prayer is hard work. It drains us. It is hard, but it is eventually worth the effort.

    Prayer Keys - Persistence “Then Jesus told his disciples a parable to show them that they should always pray and not give up.” Luke 18:1 Have you seen that cartoon with the pelican having a frog for dinner? His dinner is not agreeing with him. In fact, his dinner is violently ...read more

    The prayer of Daniel in Chapter 2 enhances our worship and helps us with our prayer lives.

    As we had noted so far in our study of Daniel Chapter 2, Daniel prayed, trusted God, spoke with wisdom and tact, depended on his godly friends, and gave glory only to God! God answered the prayers of Daniel and his friends. God told Daniel what the king’s dream was and the meaning! God did the ...read more
