In the midst of the sermon, in Matthew 6:5-15, Jesus turns His attention to the topic of prayer. This section is pivotal, as it encapsulates the essence of the relationship between humanity and God. Jesus begins by addressing the common pitfalls in prayer, contrasting the hypocritical practices of some with the sincere and humble approach He advocates. He then presents the Lord’s Prayer, a concise yet profound model of how to communicate with God.

How should we pray? In Christ’s famous Sermon on the Mount (Matt 5-7), where he teaches about the citizens of his kingdom and their character, he spends considerable time on prayer. The clear implication is that Christ expects his followers to be devoted to prayer. They won’t pray like hypocrites—with vain, heartless petitions that seek to manipulate God and impress others (Matt 6:5). They will pray because they are consumed with God: his name, kingdom, will, and people (Matt 6:9-13). Unfortunately, many followers of Christ struggle with prayer. For example, after being taught about ...

The Apostle James tells us that the prophet Elijah was a man ''subject to like passions as we are''. I am thankful that those men and women who were so mighty in prayer were just like ourselves. We are apt to think that those prophets and mighty men and women of old times were different from us. To be sure they lived in a much darker age, but they were of like passions with ourselves.

As Dr. King prepared for the Birmingham campaign in early 1963, he drafted the final sermons for Strength to Love, a volume of his best-known homilies. King had begun working on the sermons during a fortnight in jail in July 1962. Having been arrested for holding a prayer vigil outside Albany City Hall, King and Ralph Abernathy shared a jail cell for 15 days that was, according to King, ''dirty, filthy, and ill-equipped'' and "the worse I have ever seen." While behind bars, he spent uninterrupted time preparing the drafts for classic sermons....

Prayer is the source of Jesus's most astonishing miracles and the subject of Jesus' most audacious promises, and yet, most people - even most Bible-believing Christians - find prayer to be boring, obligatory, disappointing, confusing, or, most often, all of the above. If you've ever felt this way, Praying Like Monks, Living Like Fools is your invitation to trade your conceptions and misconceptions about prayer for prayer in its purest form: a vital, sustaining, powerful connection with God that is more real and alive than you could have ever imagined.

This I have learned about prayer: If, as you are going along, you hear someone preach about it or pick up a book and read about it; the Holy Ghost will stir something up within you. I encourage you to study these six steps and incorporate them into your prayer-life. Let us fulfill the commission to: "Pray without ceasing." (1 Thessalonians 5:17)

In 1903, the great scholar, W.E.B Dubois published the work, The Souls of Black Folk, in which he offered the seminal declaration that “the problem of the 20th century is the problem of the color line." It is the observation, some 117 years later, among many – including myself - Dr. Dubois’s observation holds into another century, and that indeed, the problem of the 21st century remains the problem of the color line. The fact is that many people continue to languish in the disparate shackles and bondage of poverty, racism, sexism, lack of adequate and accessible healthcare, over-...

One of the only things Jesus' disciples asked Him to teach them was to pray. The result is what we've come to call the Lord's Prayer, which could better be called the Disciples' Prayer, since Jesus gave it specifically to them. In this series, Pastor Skip Heitzig takes a deeper look at this often-recited - and often-overlooked - prayer to find applications for our own prayer lives.

When Spurgeon speaks, you’d be wise to listen. The great London preacher Charles Haddon Spurgeon had a lot to say during his four decades of ministry at the Metropolitan Tabernacle. And beyond his mighty voice, Spurgeon’s pen churned out countless words of biblical interpretation and Christian wisdom. These words can still encourage us today! This volume of the Spurgeon Speaks series focuses on the power of God’s Word. Nothing motivated Spurgeon more than proclaiming the holy Scriptures. His love for the Bible will encourage you as well.

Pastor Jim Cymbala believes that Jesus wants to renew his people - to call us back from spiritual dead ends, apathy, and lukewarm religion. In this compelling audio presentation, Cymbala tells the story of the Brooklyn Tabernacle, a struggling congretation of 20 - until they began to pray, and God began to move, and street-hardened lives by the hundreds were transformed by Christ's love.

San Cipriano nos revela el poder oculto del Padre Nuestro, la oración al Señor que Jesús enseño a sus discípulos y que es la más poderosa y efectiva de las oraciones para hacer peticiones y obtener el favor de Dios.

Whether or not we attend church, deep down we wonder if the biblical story of faith is really enough for the complexity of the world in which we live. We fill our lives with other things, hoping that maybe the next experience or accomplishment will complete us. Yet with every goal we reach, we still feel discouraged and anxious. In Searching for Enough, Pastor Tyler Staton draws on ancient and modern insights to introduce us, as if for the first time, to Jesus' disciple Thomas: history's most notorious sceptic.

This is a collection of ideas and presentations of hope in God and hope for humanity. And it is out of this hope that we believe that dreams, visions and possibilities for a better world are born. Hope for a brighter future, a hope that love would abound among all of God’s people – a bright hope for tomorrow. Dr. Hunt believes that hope is the window that God has given us to see into God’s preferred future for our lives. In the midst of the apparent hopelessness, nothingness, meaninglessness and lovelessness that seem to pervade our collective reality today, hope lends credence to the...
