How do the scriptures equip us for every good work? That is a very important phrase: “every good work”! Everything good that God expects us to do, the Scriptures equip us to do. That is a huge claim. How does it work? How do the scriptures equip us for “every good work”? The scriptures through The Holy Spirit of God reveal God to the world.

The Narrow Way That Leads To Life

January 22, 2023 • Pastor Ben Pitney • Matthew 7:7–14

This is an appeal to the church to seek the Lord concerning the place of fasting in breaking through the darkness that engulfs our state and our nation on the issue of abortion. I believe that we can ask the church not only to fast in general for a great awakening in our country but also to fast specifically for the safety of our children.

Be Persistent In Prayer, Part Two

January 8, 2023 • Pastor Ben Pitney • Ephesians 1:15–23

Rejoicing in hope is the way hope bolsters and even produces joy and how you can patiently endure any struggle or tribulation on your way being loving in this world. And how does prayer fit in? It is God’s assigned way to wake up and keep your hope alive. And since hope is the key to joy in struggles and tribulation, and joy is the key to sticking with it or enduring, and endurance is the key to loving…. Then prayer nurtures hope and prayer is at the underpinning of everything in the life of the Christ Follower.

Be Persistent in Prayer

January 1, 2023 • Pastor Ben Pitney • Romans 12:9–21

Of all the obstacles to prayer, some fall under the question, why pray? And some fall under the question of how to pray. I want to focus on the how. Not that the questions of why are unimportant, but I think we can have all our theological answers in order as to why pray and still be very careless in the life of prayer. So I will give a short answer to the question why, and then focus on the practical how questions. I want to stir you up to seek new levels of “being persistent in prayer” in 2023.
