    One of the most important lessons we can learn in prayer is the power of agreeing together with other believers. When we pray together, miraculous things happen.

    We are often told that we are to rejoice as Christians but you ever wonder: Why?

    Well we are almost through the prophets, both major and minor. And you’ll recall from earlier messages that the designation Major and Minor has nothing to do with the importance of the Prophet or his message, instead it is indicative of the length of his message. And most of these guys had a ...read more

    This prayer is often wrongly used, however. We are not to just mindlessly repeat it from rote memory, but we are to use it as a framework upon which we can build a prayer life that is offered to God, heard and answered by Him, and one that glorifies His

    Illustration: A little boy was saying his bedtime prayers with his mother: "Lord, bless Mommy and Daddy, and God, GIVE ME A NEW BICYCLE!!!" Mom: "God’s not deaf, son. Boy: "I know, Mom, but Grandma’s in the next room, and she’s hard of hearing! Read: Matthew 6: 5 -15 Introduction: This passage is ...read more

    We have to translate prayer from just a Christian principle and precept to Christian practice. We must pray day by day for our daily bread.

    “Praying for Daily Bread” Text: Matthew 6: 1 - 11 1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven. 2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues ...read more

    As much as we might like to, we just can’t measure up to the prayer life of Jesus. Because of the Fall, we need to re-learn what it means to communicate with God on His terms.

    Have Faith And Pray

    Contributed by Craig Condon on Jun 5, 2015

    Our Christian life is not to be confined to a closet. Our belief must be revealed in our practice. If we walk in Christ, then we must act as Christ would act because Christ is in us-our hopes, our love, our joy and our lives. We are Christ's reflection.

    At first glance, the reading from Hosea 1:2-10 doesn't seem to make sense. Would God really ask a prophet to marry a prostitute? Well, the answer is yes he can, and yes he did. You see, this was part of God's plan, and we all know that God's ways are not our ways, and sometimes God's ways don't ...read more
