    Praying for the Kingdom to come is an awesome responsibility, for some of us remain blind and mute despite Jesus’ healing, criticizing those who are different and causing divisions.

    Our backyard is heavily populated. It is home to birds and bugs, to snails and occasional snakes, and most of all, our backyard is populated with moles. The turf is home to those burrowing creatures, moles. I have the twisted ankle to prove it, thanks to sinking in one of the burrows. Our ...read more

    It’s the application that counts. Yes Jesus is one with the Father, but now that we are in Christ we should be like him in our WORDS AND WORKS. This is what authenticates our prayers "in Jesus name."

    We have a saying around our house that we use whenever one of the kids are acting like their parents; “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.” Of course one of our children likes to point out that “the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree unless the tree is at the top of a hill.” Our kids are ...read more

    Sermon # 50 - Prayer And God's Timing Series

    Contributed by Andrew Dixon on Sep 4, 2025
    based on 1 rating
     | 287 views

    Every prayer that is offered to God is taken note of and God will answer our prayers in His time and in His own way. Cornelius and Peter are great examples of the amazing ways in which God answers prayers. Let’s pray without ceasing knowing that the answer is one the way.

    For today’s meditation let us read, Acts 10:19-20, Peter was still trying to understand what the vision meant, when the Spirit said, "Listen! Three men are here looking for you. So get ready and go down, and do not hesitate to go with them, for I have sent them." (GNB) We are going to ...read more

    It’s important to pray in a way that is not self-centered.

    Introduction: Have you ever thought about how much of what we ask God for in our prayers is very self-centered? For example, I heard about a college student who always concluded her prayers with this simple petition: “God, I’m not asking for myself, but please send my mother a son-in-law.” Or ...read more
