    In this sermon I share the popular ACTS model of prayer. It is a way of praying which gives us a model to follow when we pray much in the same way that Jesus did when he gave us the Lord’s Prayer.

    Praying For Action, Psalm 46:1 Introduction It’s reported that one Sunday an ol’ country preacher in Mississippi prayed the following prayer just before delivering sermon: “Oh Lord, give Thy servant this mornin’ the eyes of the eagle and the wisdom of the owl; Connect his soul with the gospel ...read more

    Saints it is time that we made prayer a priority in our daily living. If you do not have a regular prayer time you need to establish one. Jesus did. If you do not have a war room of your own you need to make one today.

    Time for Prayer Psalm 66:18-20 18 If I regard iniquity in my heart, the Lord will not hear me: 19 But verily God hath heard me; he hath attended to the voice of my prayer. 20 Blessed be God, which hath not turned away my prayer, nor his mercy from me.

The guide would then say. “Stand over there and ...read more

    Jesus not only loves the church; He formed it. He created it. It was his idea. He launched it on the Day of Pentecost and calls us to join it.

    Tony Evans said; “Don’t treat church like the Super bowl.” This is what He said: “Millions upon millions of spectators watch the Super bowl.

    Who’s on your prayer list? We spend more time praying for the saved who are sick than for the unsaved who are lost ... more time trying to keep the saints out of Heaven than the lost out of Hell.
