    Stop Telling God What To Do

    Contributed by David Dunn on Oct 27, 2025
     | 72 views

    How Prayer Changes Us Before It Changes Anything Else. Prayer is not controlling outcomes but aligning with God’s heart, trusting Him fully, and joining His transforming work in people’s lives.

    Introductory Considerations 1. The scene before us seems very wrong. The reactions and words of Jesus are not what I would have expected them to be. If I were only able to share one story from His ministry with an unbeliever, surely this is not the one that I would chose, for the impression they ...read more

    Hurricanes, Prayer And Faith

    Contributed by Barry O Johnson on Sep 16, 2017

    Many of us prayed against Hurricanes Harvey, Irma and Jose. But they still happened. Why? Is it because none of us p had faith or too little faith? I believe the answer, from scripture, will be a surprise and an encouragement.

    Hurricane’s Harvey, Irma and Jose. Many people, especially Christians, believe they are God’s judgment on the US because of sin. Predictably, the sins most Christians identify are same sex marriage, the homosexual lifestyle and abortion. None of these behaviors are the reasons why our country is ...read more
