Sermons on Wait Silently:

Do Not Take Side Series

Contributed by Dr. Amen Howard on Aug 13, 2013

One of the great characteristics of the body of Christ is to care about the burdens and sufferings of one another. However, as we seek to console and encourage friends that have been offended, we may be tempted to take up their offense against another.

In sympathy, we may tend to take their part against the pastor, the church or whoever they blame for the offense. This is very unwise and an unscriptural thing to do, considering that your friend may be the cause of his own/her offense, or trying to drag you out of faith. His/her hurt feelings may ...read more

Impatience With God Series

Contributed by Jeff Strite on May 4, 2008

Seven Biblical Laws Of Prayer

Contributed by Rodelio Mallari on Apr 14, 2011

True prayer is not just a one-way monologue. It also involves being still and silent before God and allowing time to listen to Him. Many do all the talking (if not the complaining), when listening to God’s still small voice is a great joy!

Intro: Today we ponder on prayer. Real prayer is our means of releasing faith and submitting our hearts to the Lord’s will. Simply put, prayer involves among other things: Adoration, Confession, Thanksgiving and Supplication (ACTS) in the Spirit. True prayer is not just a one-way monologue. It also ...read more

Explained: Ineffectiveness In Prayer.

Contributed by Patrick Usifo on Aug 18, 2022

Why then are we hindered in our prayer life? Because we lack the understanding of what we are up against when we pray. Hence, a prayerless Christian is a powerless Christian. And a powerful believer is a prayerful believer. Prayer can be vocalized, or said silent, and with tears.

Many songs have been written over the years that encourages a believer to pray. I remember fondly one of the songs I learned in my early days when I was converted to the faith. The song was titled "Prayer is the key". I memorized the song out of my love and joy for singing church hymnals. ...read more

You Can’t Cheat The Harvest!

Contributed by Anitha Jabastion on Oct 8, 2025
