Watch and Pray
We talk about Christmas countdowns. We go to the stores, and we listen to Christmas carols. The Christian Church, however, traditionally calls this time of year the season of Advent, which means so much more than simply a warmup for Christmas Day. It is a time to remember that Christ has come, He is coming again, and we must be prepared for Him.
Living With Closed Doors
Have you ever had a door slammed in your face? Sometimes even heaven's door can seem to close on us. It can be painful and frustrating, especially when we're so sure we were right. When we face these situations and attempt to regroup, some things need to be considered from God's Word.
Teach Us How to Pray
Each of us needs prayer. We need to connect to Gods heart and believe we are loved, our lives matter, and we have a purpose. But we dont always know how to pray or what to say. We dont know who God is in order to talk with Him. No wonder the disciples came to Jesus and said, Lord, teach us to pray.
Opening Doors for Others
God's open doors are typically invitations to make our life count. Ultimately, God opened the Door for us so we might open doors for others. Why would we opt to live that way? Let's learn more about learning to live what Jesus calls, "the abundant life."
Door #1 Or Door #2
Making decisions is an important and often difficult part of life. We want guarantees. Christ's followers need to be good choosers when faced with doors of opportunity. Let's learn how to determine what is best so our love for God and one another might overflow.
The Open Door
Sometimes God opens doors to us, which lead to an adventure we never anticipated. These doors can take us in directions and to exciting places we never dreamed of. When God opened a door to Abraham, he entered and thereby set into motion God's rescue plan for the world. Join us as we learn to recognize open doors from God and know when to enter them.
How to Have a 3 a.m. Friendship
With all the loneliness in the world, sometimes we need a special friend with whom we can openly safely share our most intimate thoughts. Someone who is always there when we need them with encouragements and affirmations. We need God with skin on.
The Power of Prayer in the Lives of Believers
Do you believe in prayer? Should you believe in prayer? Do others realize you believe in prayer? What should you believe about prayer?
A Couple Good Reasons to Pray: The Early Church Did . . .
Prayer is a gift given to us from our great God, a privilege. It means we can connect with the Creator of the universe, and it is an important part of our walk with Him. Let's look at an incredible New Testament story that reveals the power of prayer among believers in Christ.
Does Jesus Care?
How is your prayer life? Prayer is the language of faith and a privilege of intimacy with the Lord of the cosmos. God is in the business of erasing our naughty deeds and restoring us and transforming us. He does not want to leave us stuck in the same destructive patterns of our sin and shame, but desires to maximize our created best potential as His beloved children.
