You have not because you ask not

August 14, 2022 • Mark Bailey • Luke 11:1–13

God is not far from us and He has made a way for us to talk to Him. We often seem to forget about the privilege we have to talk to our Heavenly Father. He knows what we need and He loves answering our prayers, we just need to ask Him. Our God is relational and prayer is a vital part of building this powerful relationship with Him.

Prayer and Fasting

September 4, 2022 • Mark Bailey • Matthew 6:16–18, Joel 2:12

It’s almost impossible to preach about prayer without mentioning fasting. God’s word is filled with examples of prayer that’s accompanied by fasting. After the disciples could not drive out a demon, Jesus said that some spiritual breakthroughs can only come through prayer and fasting (Mark 9:29). Biblical, Christ-Centered fasting is a very powerful blessing we all have access to. Sadly, too many people have misunderstood this spiritual discipline and have rejected prayer and fasting.

The Lord's Prayer

August 28, 2022 • Matt Hemsley • Matthew 6:5–14

Most of us know the Lord’s Prayer as something we might mumble every so often in the kind of church service our grandparents used to go to or when we just don’t know what else to pray. But what if it was something far more vital than that? What if it was an incredibly elegant and succinct pulling together of the most important themes of our faith story, designed to re-orientate our prayers to the very heart and mind of Jesus?

Prayer that Moves Mountains

August 21, 2022 • Mark Bailey • Mark 11:23, James 5:13–18

Faith is an integral part of prayer, we have to believe that God hears our prayers and that He is able to do miracles. If we settle for a powerless religious prayer life, we deny ourselves the joy of engaging with an Almighty, All Powerful God who loves it when call out to Him!
