    The Bible tells us that God closed up Hannah’s womb. Really? Would He do that, or was this the kind of comment where we call something an "act of God?"

    Real Mothers are special people. Real mothers would like to be able to eat a whole candy bar (all by themselves) and drink a Coke without any "floaters" in it. Real Mothers know that their kitchen utensils are probably in the sandbox. Real Mothers often have sticky floors, filthy ovens and happy ...read more

    "When You Pray" is an exposition of Matthew 6:5-8. In this passage, Jesus tells us what not to do when we pray. His instruction can be summarized with two prohibitions: (1) Do not pray like the hypocrites. And (2) do not pray like the Gentiles.

    WHEN YOU PRAY Matthew 6:5-8 There is a principle of Bible interpretation called the principle of repeated mention. It means that the repeated things in scripture are usually the emphasized things. This principle leads us to the theme of our text. Verse 5 begins, “And when you pray.” Verse 6 ...read more

    This series is based on the movie, War Room. This lesson is a reminder of God's Expectation of our prayers. It is not, "If" but "When" we pray.

    1. A few weeks ago I attended a conference put on by "Strategic Renewal." While I was there I purchased a T-shirt with the slogan, "Make the Church Great Again." Perhaps one of the ways God will make the church great again is through the prayers of His people. 2. We know that God is anxious to hear ...read more

    Psalm 88 reveals faithful lament in unrelenting darkness, showing God’s presence in despair and Christ’s promise to carry us toward the dawn.

    INTRODUCTION — THE NIGHT THAT NEVER BREAKS Some Psalms begin with lament and end with praise. Some start in the valley and finish on the mountaintop. Some move from tears to trust, from sorrow to singing, from pain to peace. Psalm 88 is not one of those Psalms. It is the only Psalm in the entire ...read more

    Prayer is a powerful, intimate encounter with God that brings healing, unity, and hope when we approach Him honestly and support one another.

    Some of us walked in today with a whisper instead of a shout. Hearts carry heavy headlines—doctor’s reports, strained relationships, silent worries that keep us wide awake at 3 a.m. You’ve prayed before, and maybe your prayer felt like a paper airplane tossed into a hurricane. But friend, the God ...read more
