     | 9,041 views

    We've prayed so long, so hard, without any results. There is great assurance that He hears every prayer. He has made everything beautiful in its time. The longer a prayer is delayed, the more perfect it will come forth at last. The deeper the silence, the louder the answer.

    WHY DOESN'T GOD ANSWER MY PRAYERS? “So, I say to you, ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.” (Luke 11:9) We've prayed so long and so hard without any results. There is great assurance that ...read more

We will read in our passage today that the Messiah Jesus Christ Himself was baptized by John. Why did John ...read more

    Luke and Acts give us a great look at the ascension. How Jesus handled Himself for 40 days before He was taken up! Powerful!

So Luke wrote the gospel of Luke, and the book of Acts. That is important, because Luke gives us two accounts of ...read more

    Attending church has many benefits - social connection, uplifting messages, inspiring music, coffee. But all of those needs can be met in other ways. There is one thing, however, that is absolutely unique about meeting together to worship, and that is the promised presence of Christ among us.

    Happy Saint Patrick’s Day! How many of you are wearing green? Good for you. But - wasn’t it just Christmas a couple of weeks ago? It’s hard to believe that Easter is only two weeks away. I realize that what I’m about to say will betray my age, but don’t you find that every year seems to go by ...read more
