The Praying Christ
July 1, 2023 • Geoff Thomas
As believers we must consider the example of Jesus Christ--specifically let us consider his prayer life. Jesus was often found alone praying to his Father. He often prayed throughout the night and he even prayed before making decisions. This shows us the importance of connecting with God through prayer and relying on Him for direction.
Power Of Prayer Impacting The Course Of Human History
May 30, 2023 • John Greene • Revelation 8:3
John Greene | 2023 Fellowship Conference - Morning Prayer Meeting | Revelation 8:3 - And another angel came and stood at the altar with a golden censer, and he was given much incense to offer with the prayers of all the saints on the golden altar before the throne... Are you aware of the power and impact of prayer on human history? As Spurgeon said, "it is not ONLY a prayer meeting." It is to pray before God, in faith, through having been cleansed by Christ's blood, that we can impact history by our prayers.
How Long, O LORD? Will You Forget Me Forever?
May 23, 2023 • Nathan Rages • Psalm 13
Nathan Rages | 2023 Fellowship Conference | Prayer Meeting | There are pressing needs that you and I have prayed about, and we have asked the LORD, "How long, O LORD?" But deliverance has yet to come, and we feel as David does. The temptation to give up is strong during that time. It can be easy to forget how many prayers the LORD has answered in the past when we are under pressure.

Stop Measuring Your Love For Christ
May 9, 2023 • Michael Durham
We're here measuring our love, trying to gauge our love, comparing ourselves one with another. But God's love, as far as we're concerned, is settled. We know God loves us. It's our love that's vacillating, isn't it? And so the focus shifts from God's love for us to our love for God. And when this occurs, God's love becomes more difficult to experience because His love becomes based upon merit. - Michael Durham
The Look Of Love: Jesus' Love For Peter
May 5, 2023 • Michael Durham • Luke 22
Michael Durham | 2023 Fellowship Conference | Session 4 | What was the power of Christ's look to Peter after he had denied the LORD? And are you and I looking to the LORD to see His look to us? Are we resting in and trusting the unconditional love of God for us as believers?

Overflowing With Hope In The God Of Hope
April 6, 2023 • Geoff Thomas
Believer, there is every reason to overflow with hope in the God of hope who overflows with love for you. Romans 15:13 - May the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
Is Scripture Enough? Or Need To See A Miracle?
April 11, 2023 • Lee Dodd • Luke 16
Lee Dodd | 39:15 | 2023FC | Session 1 | Does Scripture suffice or do we need to see a miracle? Consider Jesus' astonishing words in Luke 16:31 - He said to him, 'If they do not hear Moses and the Prophets, neither will they be convinced if someone should rise from the dead.'"
Restoring Broken Relationships
