The Power of Prayer

James Rochford

James 5:13-20

James emphasizes to his readers the importance of prayer in a Christian's life. We should pray at all times, when things are going well and during suffering and trials. Prayer can bring rest and healing and can unleash God's power, but we must pray according to God's will and not come to Him with conditions or an expectation that God will give us everything we want.

The Prayer of a Servant

Mike Sullivan

James 5:13-20

In Jesus, we see a perfect model of a life of ministry dependent of the Holy Spirit, rooted in prayer. Christians today are also called to love and serve others through the power of the Holy Spirit, who supplies all we need when resources and power are otherwise scarce. Three key attitudes when asking God to help us serve others are to have a willingness to serve, to recognize our helplessness, and to be shamelessly audacious in prayer.

Two Ways

Conrad Hilario

Psalms 1:1-6

The book of Psalms teach us how to relate honestly to God, how to praise and thank Him, and how to affirm what is true in the midst of difficult circumstances or emotions. In Psalm 1 we see that the primary characteristic of the righteous is that their lives are rooted in and nourished by God's Word. This requires making time for reading scripture, minimizing distractions, and prioritizing quality over quantity.

Teaching Kids about the Father

Paul Alexander

The concept of God can be difficult for children to understand especially at early levels of cognitive development.

Reflecting the Light of God

Dennis McCallum

2 Corinthians 4:1-18

When people first meet Christ, part of God lives inside of them. Why then do Christians go on sinning? How do people become more Christ-like? The answer is in the breaking down of the outer man. God oftentimes uses circumstances and suffering to lead His followers into becoming more and more like Christ.

Talking and Listening to God

Mike Sullivan

1 Thessalonians 5:16-22

Paul encourages believers to have a personal relationship with God--one that involves both talking and listening to God as a friend. Our talking to God should be characterized by joy and gratitude (in addition to sharing struggles), and when we listen to God, we should be careful not to quench the Spirit, but instead, to be in tune with and carefully evaluate prophetic utterances from other Christians.

Praying as a Servant

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 11:5-13

When Jesus instructs his disciples on how to pray, he stresses 3 important attitudes: a willingness to serve, a sense of helplessness, and a boldness. With these attitudes in mind, we can come before God each day, presenting ourselves, and know that He will allow us a lifestyle that will fill us with joy and purpose.
