     | 308 views

    Why don’t we pray? Or, if we do pray, why do we often feel guilty that we aren’t praying as frequently, or as much, or as fervently as we should? What’s holding us back? This sermon examines five reasons that we struggle with prayer, and how to overcome them.

    This morning, I’d like to talk with you about a spiritual discipline which is at the core of the Christian life. This is something which everyone acknowledges is important, and valuable, and rewarding. We all agree that it’s a good thing. And yet, we may also hope that no one inquires too closely ...read more

    Paul’s prayer for the Ephesians serves as a terrific model for praying for each other (and our churches, in general).

    Just for fun, let’s start with a trick question today. How many letters to the Ephesians are there in the New Testament? Well, I said it was a trick question. There are at least two. There is one that we’ll be looking at this morning and there is one in Revelation 2. You see, Ephesus was an ...read more
