    Contributed by Gary Waguespack on Feb 8, 2005
    based on 5 ratings
     | 2,515 views

    Mt. 6:5-6 describes "closet" praying, this is "on fire" praying, prayer in the "Holy of Holies." Just us and God in Glory.

    We’re in the Gospel of Matthew and we’re talking about Prayer. We’ll be in Mat. 6:5-15, but especially, vss 5-6. I wonder if you’ve heard about the big Fire at a chemical factory in Kansas? 10 Fire companies were called, but the fire was too intense to do more than spray the edges. The owner ...read more

    Most of us are familiar with the Lord’s Prayer, and some of us have attended churches where it was recited every Sunday.

    Forgiveness

    Contributed by Michael Mccartney on Oct 26, 2005
    based on 4 ratings
     | 5,142 views

    Many look at the concept and action of forgiveness in light of the negative connotation of the term the “F word!” They avoid saying it and doing it and feel for some mysterious reason that they are exempt from doing what Jesus described as being essential

    “Forgiveness!” On the Lighter side: These are all apparently true statements made by important people... "I’m not going to have some reporters pawing through our papers. We are the president." -Hillary Clinton commenting on the release of subpoenaed documents "The president has kept all of the ...read more

    INTRODUCTION · By now many should have seen Passion of the Christ. For me, the most impressionable scene was the praying Jesus in the Garden of Gethsemane. · I’ve not come to see a person prays with such intensity. Have I ever prayed that way? Maybe when one of my loved one is dying away... · It ...read more

    Contributed by Ed Vasicek on Jun 1, 2004
    based on 9 ratings
     | 2,335 views

    We cannot go far in the Kingdom of God until we get the lust for status under control. This is true in the material realm, as we shall see in a message planned for next week, and it is true in the religious realm as well, as we shall see this week.

    Status or Substance? (Matt. 6:1-15) Note: here is my bulletin insert I wrote up along with the sermon. Sermon follows. Giving, Prayer, and Fasting (notes for Matt. 6:1-15) Since modern Judaism no longer has the Temple (in the Biblical sense) many Rabbis teach that charity, prayer, and fasting ...read more

     | 5,827 views

    Not all prayer is effective, but private prayer is rewarded.

    SELECT A PLACE FOR PRIVATE PRAYER. Everyone needs a place to be alone with God. As long as we don’t have a place, we won’t be able to maintain private prayer. Jesus gave us the example of private prayer. Where ever he was, he always found a place to be alone with God. (Matthew 12:23; Mark ...read more
