A Call To Prayer

Today's sermon looks at the habit of repentance. Jesus clearly understood the need for his disciples to repent regularly. He did not offer any sort of teaching that once they had been forgiven and were growing in their faith that they would exempted from this practice. He did not offer the Lord's Prayer as a model for those who were new to the faith and, therefore, more likely to sin, he offered this as a model to ALL his disciples, and for ALL time. Today's scripture is Matthew 6:9-15.

This week's sermon topic is praying for those in authority. "I urge, then, first of all, that requests, prayers, intercession and thanksgiving be made for everyone-for kings and all those in authority, that we may live peaceful and quiet lives in all godliness and holiness." 1 Timothy 2:1-2

Today's sermon, taken from 1 Kings 19:9-14, offers a very practical look at how we can listen to the sound of God's voice in our times of prayer.

In John 17, Jesus prayed not only for his own disciples, but also for everyone who would come to believe through their ministry. In doing so, he provides us a model of we also can pray for the church, whether local, national, or international.

While prayer is one of the most critical parts of our relationship with God, it can also be one of the most difficult. How do we pray? What happens when we pray? Are there times when our prayers don't make a difference? In this message, we take a look at all of those questions through the lens of Hebrews 5:7.
