    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.

    What Prayer Isn't

    Contributed by Robert Leroe on Dec 11, 2023
     | 1,241 views

    Even though we pray, we may wonder at times: “Why do I pray? What does it accomplish?” Along the way, we may pick up some misperceptions. I want to talk about what prayer isn’t.

    The widow of the parable was pretty frustrated. In the Army, if soldiers feel they’ve been treated unfairly, they have several options: They can use their chain-of-command, see the Chaplain, contact Equal Opportunity, call the Inspector General’s office, or even write their Senator. We have the ...read more

    Worship God To be here for any other reason is in vain!

    Why are you here? You are not here today to be seen and heard. We have not come here to show off a new dress or anything like that. We are not here to visit friends and family.

    Except the Lord Builds the House, the Laborers Labor in Vain

    1) A house must be built by someone - Many people claim to be builders, few are craftsman. God makes it very clear that for our homes there is Only one true craftsman "the Lord”.

    Do I Have To Pay Someone To Teach Me How To Pray?

    Contributed by Chris Swanson on Oct 22, 2022
     | 935 views

    Why would anyone need to pay to learn how to pray when it is clear that the Lord told us how in the Bible?

    I recently read an article where someone was charging people nearly $1500.00 to attend a seminar on how to learn to pray. Let us look at Luke 11:1-13. 1. And it came to pass, that, as he was praying in a certain place, when he ceased, one of his disciples said unto him, Lord, teach us to pray, as ...read more
