    4 keys to powerful prayer drawn from the Lord’s Prayer.

    PRAYING WITH POWER In our services, we often begin with prayer. I typically pray before I preach. We generally pray several times during a service. On Wednesday nights, we pray even more and in many of our discipleship classes we teach on praying. This afternoon in the discovering membership ...read more

    We need to be convinced of the NEED to pray, understand the POWER of prayer, seize the OPPORTUNITY to pray and have FAITH in God when we pray.

    In the book of Acts, we see a common sight – the church at prayer. • Not a few disciples, but the whole community of believers praying together • This was a unique sight, because in the Gospel we hardly read of the disciples gathering to pray. • We saw Jesus praying alone, most of the time. And ...read more

    The riches we receive in Christ far surpass the riches that the world can give.

    Praying For Riches Text: Ephesians 1:15 – 23 By: Ken McKinley (Read Text) Have you ever met someone who seems to always be trying to get something better or achieve more, and never realizing that what they already have is more than enough?

    Who’s on your prayer list? We spend more time praying for the saved who are sick than for the unsaved who are lost ... more time trying to keep the saints out of Heaven than the lost out of Hell.

    Praying for the Lost Matthew 9:35-38 Billy Graham once said that he estimated that only 5% of believers had ever shared the gospel message of salvation with someone else. Evidently, a young fellow named Jim did not want to be left out of that group. Having lived in Orlando, FL all of his life, ...read more

    Jesus teaches us how to pray

    PRAY LIKE THIS! MATTHEW 6:9-15 Mt 6:9a “Pray, then, in this way: In vs 5-8, Jesus told us “how not to pray.” * Wrong to call it “the Lord’s prayer”- Jesus never prayed it. Couldn’t. * He did not say “pray this”. He already said to not “recite prayers”. Here He is saying that we are to “pray ...read more

    Will you pray that God’s will be done in your lives? Will you be willing to live lives that encounter God’s mercy and grace. Will you pray knowing that you are in a rhythm of pray that will be answered for it is prayed knowing that his kingdom will come.

    Praying in the will of God. Last week we looked at whole idea of reflecting on the words of scripture using divine reading or lectio divina. The passage of scripture that I brought was a prayer that was in itself a response to God’s answering prayer. King David was lifted from the slippery ...read more

    Praying for the eight ball to go into the corner pocket, for you to be rich and famous, for the right partner to come along, is not praying God’s will for your life. Do you want to be holy, righteous and pure. Now, that’s praying God’s will.

    PRAYING GOD’S WILL James 5:16-17 The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. 17 Elias was a man subject to like passions as we are, and he prayed earnestly that it might not rain: and it rained not on the earth by the space of three years and six months.

    What are we to pray about? 1- Pray for the spreading of the message 2- Pray for the deliverance from evil people 3- Pray for the strengthening of God’s Spirit

    INTRO.- Prayer is the one of the great privileges that we have as Christians.

    Based on the Parable of the Persistent widow, this sermon encourages people to pray and pray and pray again. We preached these sermons in conjunction with the Pray 21 project that brings youth and adults together to pray for 21 days.

    BELIEVE AND PRAY! Believe and pray! This may sound backwards. Should we not pray believing that God will answer our prayers? Yes, but this simple little exercise of semantics puts the foundation of faith before the act of prayer. Many of us pray but few of us believe that our prayers will be ...read more
