Heartwarming Prayer: The Fire of Construction
March 8, 2015 • Pastor Lance Bane
A strong prayer life is focused, personal and prioritized. No one stumbles into a brilliant prayer life. Jesus gave us a model for prayer, called the Lord's prayer, and it helps us stay focused, engaged in intimacy with God and praying the central themes of God's heart. Grab a cold drink, your bible and your notepad as Pastor Lance shares the final message in the series "Heartwarming Prayer".
Heartwarming Prayer: The Fire of Clarity (People)
March 1, 2015 • Pastor Lance Bane
We have been given "7 Points of Prayer" for 2015 and today Pastor Lance shares his heart about "People". Jesus saw people as "sheep without a shepherd being harassed and tormented". In this message we are reminded that God asks us to ask Him to hurl people into the harvest field, demonstrating compassion and stopping for the one.
Heartwarming Prayer: The Fire of Clarity (Power)
February 22, 2015 • Pastor Lance Bane
What we are a part of is bigger than the part we play, but the part we play is prayer; which is partnership with Jesus for the transformation of history. Prayer then, is how we release God's power to bear upon human need. We face monumental crises in this hour. We need the power of God at work in us, so we can most effectively partner with God.
Heartwarming Prayer: The Fire of Clarity (Prayer)
February 15, 2015 • Pastor Lance Bane
Father God has given us "7 Points of Prayer" for 2015. The first and most important is to pray for an increase in His presence and second is that God would strengthen our prayer life. We are asking God to give us a "spirit of prayer" and increase the quality of our private and collective prayer times. Today, Pastor Lance shares that the "heart of prayer is not collective or individualistic. It is both." As we pray collectively we should expect God to show up and do amazing things. Take to heart today's word of encouragement and let your spirit be warmed by spending time with Jesus.
Heartwarming Prayer: The Fire of Follow Through
February 1, 2015 • Pastor Lance Bane
There is no breakthrough without follow through. When you encounter God, He is inviting you into a "new normal", a new way of living. The practices that served you BEFORE the encounter with God do not always serve you well AFTER the encounter with God. In this message, pastor Lance shares a story of how his previous church, Church of the Hills, encountered God, transitioned into a new normal and thus sustained breakthrough because of effective follow through.
Heartwarming Prayer: The Fire of Contending
January 18, 2015 • Pastor Lance Bane
Consideration. Consecration. Contending. It's an exhilirating path to walk in fellowship with God. Hannah, the Old Testament prayer heroine and mother of the prophet Samuel took her barrenness to God and "contended" for an answer. What is surprisingly powerful is that God's answer to her prayer moved in concert with His heart for the nation of Israel.
Heartwarming Prayer: The Fire of Consecration

If the majority of human communication is non-verbal, then is it possible to spend time in the secret place with God without using words? In this second message Lance teaches that a heart saying "YES" to God is a powerful message. The church is asking "HOW?" and God is looking for a "WHO". A small "YES" is a big statement. Through the life of Mary, mother of Jesus, discover the journey to the consecrated life.
Heartwarming Prayer: The Fire of Consideration
January 4, 2015 • Pastor Lance Bane
Prayer. It's a key to knowing God, living a victorious life and revealing the heart of God in the earth. However, prayer is more than talking. We learn from the life of Abraham and Sarah, that when you "consider Him faithful" supernatural things happen. So what does it mean to consider? How do we do it? What can I expect? We answer these questions in part 1 of this new series "Heartwarming Prayer."
