Pray Biblically

Patrice McCormac

1 John 5:14-15

We can be confident that if we ask for something in God's will, he will give it to us. We first need to learn how to pray within God's will, then we can be confident that He hears us and will answer us.

Arguing with God in Prayer

Lee Campbell

Psalms 143:1-12

Throughout scripture, we see individuals arguing with God in prayer. In turn, God often listens to their argument and grants their requests. We should argue our needs before God based on His nature and promises. 

Prayer of Repentance

Mike Woods

Psalms 51:1-19

In Psalm 51, David approaches God honestly in prayer, asks for forgiveness, and asks for personal and corporate restoration. This is in stark contrast to humanity's natural unwillingness to approach God in our sin and failures. 

Praying Your Gratitude

Lee Campbell

Psalms 118:29

Throughout scripture, Christians are called to give thanks to God. Having an attitude of thanksgiving can bring us closer to God and have a positive effect on our own spiritual life as well as those around us. 

Bookends

Jim Leffel

Colossians 4:2-:6

Paul urges the Colossians to conduct themselves wisely as they spread God's message. To do this, we need to pray for others and develop genuine friendships with those who are lost. 

Jesus Prays

Dennis McCallum

John 17:1-26

As Jesus approaches His appointment with the cross, one last time, He Prays over his disciples a long, continuous prayer.

Principles for Persecution

Brian Adams

John 15:18-16:33

Jesus promised His disciples that they, too, would experience persecution, just as He did.  John lays out five principles to remember to sustain the Christian as he encounters the inevitable resistance of the world system against the message of the Gospel.

The Fruitful Life

Scott Risley

John 15:1-15

John describes three types of vines: those not in Christ, those in Christ but without fruit and those in Christ and bearing fruit.  Only those in Christ can bear fruit if they abide/remain in Him.

Faithfulness or Fruitfulness?

Brian Adams

John 15:1-15

In evangelism, is the point to be faithful or fruitful?  Many Christians are pained by a lack of fruit-bearing.  We will explore the tension of waiting on God, with working hard.
