Most of our study on prayer has focused on praying individually, but I want to show us a teaching today regarding praying together as a church. The first century church gives us such a good model.

We are in a phase of our study where we are considering Biblical instructions for praying in different areas. I want to examine with you today the subject “How to Pray for Ourselves.”

We can’t talk about prayer without including some teaching about praying for healing. Most of our praying has to do with praying for the sick. This seems to be a tangible form of praying for us. The passage in the Bible that deals with this is in James 5.

Today, we are exploring one of the great opportunities in prayer—seeking the will of God. I believe many joining us today are needing to know the will of God about a particular matter. Jeremiah’s example is so instructive and encouraging.

Isaiah 63-65 is a writing of comfort. We might say here is Isaiah’s hope for his nation. A portion of it is a prayer. It guides us in our attempt to pray for revival. I want you to see four principles to guide us in praying for revival.

Praying for the church where you worship ought to be a regular part of your prayer strategy. The reasons are obvious. Outside of your family, your church family is the most important group with which you are associated. For all of the reasons that you...

In recent weeks, we have built a theology of prayer. Beginning today, we shift our focus from theology to specific practices of prayer. Specifically, we are going to consider how to pray in particular circumstances and for particular people, beginning...

In recent weeks, we have built a theology of prayer. We have considered Jesus’ example and the Early Church’s example. Sooner or later, we have to come to this question of answered prayer and unanswered prayer. Last time we considered “Positioning...

Sometimes, we hear people offer this tidy little piece that goes something like this: God always answers prayers. Sometimes, He says, “Yes.” Sometimes, He says, “No.” Sometimes, He says, “Wait.” And I have even heard this one: sometimes, He says, “Are...

We are in the middle of a prayer challenge. And what a time it is to pray. I could not have imagined the importance of this effort when God birthed this in my heart early this summer. But, now, all of this makes perfect sense, right?

We are going to look this morning at the prayer life of Jesus. I want to give you just one scripture here at the beginning and then we will present actually all of the examples that we have in the Gospels.

“This One Thing” is a call for our church to pray as never before in the history of our church. That is actually a phenomenal challenge because our church has already been noted as a praying church.

This One Thing: A Pastor’s Challenge Matthew 21:12-17 August 13, 2017 Dr. Steve Horn Text: 12 Jesus went into the temple complex and drove out all those buying and selling in the temple. He overturned the money changers’ tables and the chairs of...

Before we observe the Lord’s Supper today, we ought to make a few observations in the text to prepare our hearts. In John 21, Jesus invites the disciples to breakfast. It is a touching scene filled with imagery that is reflected here at our Communion...

We have considered James’ words, the wisdom of Proverbs, and Paul’s words about our words. Today, we will examine Jesus’ words about our words. The One who was called the Word (John 1: 1) and the Word of Life (1 John 1:1) and the One who speaks words...

This morning, I want to consider with you an important application about our words—a Gospel perspective about our words. In short, if we are concerned about Gospel expansion, we will be careful about our expressions in everyday conversation and Gospel...

Unfortunately, there is not a 3-step plan that will allow you to control your tongue. Often there does not exist enough time to stop and think what we are going to say before we speak. As in other parts of our lives we must learn spiritual principles...

There is a movement in some Christian circles to suggest that there be a separation between celebration of God and country. I disagree. I believe in a balanced approach. We give thanksgiving to God for all things. We give thanksgiving to God for our...

Have you fallen victim to complacency in worship attendance, private devotion, prayer, evangelism, giving, or any other spiritual matter? In the book of Philippians, Paul wrote from prison, but the word “joy” keeps showing up in this book. More...
