    Discovering Your "Why” In Life Series

    Contributed by Scott Maze on Jun 24, 2024
     | 930 views

Do you know why God has placed you here on earth? Do you know your “why”? Invitation At the conclusion of today’s message, you will be invited to ...read more

    In a world filled with distractions and challenges, the power of prayer remains a vital lifeline for our spiritual journey. As Jesus taught His disciples, understanding how to pray can transform our communication with God, guiding us to align our hearts with His will.

    >> Bible Verse Reading Luke 11:1-4 (NIV) One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, “Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples.” He said to them, “When you pray, say: ‘Father, hallowed be your name, your kingdom ...read more

    based on 1 rating
     | 10,836 views

    What did Jesus teach? Servant hood. Throughout His life He always put others first before Himself. Everyday He would spend time with His Father alone in prayer to prepare Himself for His day ahead, in teaching, healing, praying, but mostly serving.

    Who among us does not want to be recognized for something? We long for human affirmation. We want to be recognized for a job well done, for boldly helping others, for supporting a cause we believe in. It is our nature, our human nature, but the words of Christ teach us otherwise. Within the ...read more
