In the book of Ecclesiastes, Solomon takes us on a journey to discover what it means to live with enough – to find satisfaction for our souls. Most of live live believing that if we can add to the good and subtract from the bad of life then we will have enough. Except, eventually we all discover what Solomon discovered: there is no satisfaction to be found in the things of this life but only in the eternal things of God. We learn to live with enough when we have faith enough to trust God to be enough for us.

When we pray we take on a unique position. Prayer places us somewhere between the work God wants to do and the people to whom He wants to do it. Through prayer, we become channels through which God’s work is accomplished. This position is most commonly referred to as intercessory prayer. In this sermon, we learn from the story of Abraham how interceding for Sodom and Gomorrah has the power to change both the work of God and the people who are about to receive it.

Perhaps, the greatest struggle when it comes to prayer is the persistence that is required. It is the situation we pray for over and over again only for it not to change. It is the person we pray for time and time again only to experience the same painful results. In Matthew 15: 21-28, we encounter a woman that teaches us how to pray persistently. Persistent prayer 1) waits on Jesus 2) presumes the silence of Jesus 3) prioritizes the mission of Jesus. Ultimately, persistent prayer is about what it produces, a great faith. This great faith has the power to move the mountains and to face them when they are not moved.

The posture of prayer places us in a position to not only enter into the kingdom of heaven but for the kingdom of heaven to lives in us. The posture of prayer is the reason why we pray. We pray so that heaven and heart meet together as one. The more we access the kingdom of heaven through prayer the more we begin to think, act, and live as heaven. This all begins with a simple prayer: “Lord, have mercy on me a sinner.”

The pattern of prayer exists between two realities: the world that we see and the world we cannot see. Throughout Matthew 6, Jesus reveals an important truth that the God sees the unseen. It is what is done in the unseen that God uses to change the seen. This is evidenced in the words Jesus taught us to pray, the Lord’s Prayer.

The number one priority in a believer’s life should be that of prayer. In this new sermon series, we will look at why we pray and then how to pray.  We pray is because prayer is powerful. In this sermon we discuss both the disclaimers of prayer as well as what prayer is according  to James 5: 13-20. We challenge every believer to find something to pray for, someone to pray with, and someone to pray for.

What does Orange have to do with Church? Well, a lot actually. We are introducing a new curriculum for our children and youth ministries called: Orange. Orange is nothing more than a symbol. All throughout Scripture, God loves symbols. It is never the symbol that is powerful. It is what the symbol represents that matters most. Orange is a symbol that represents a partnership between the light of the church (yellow) and the warmth of the home (red). When you combine church & family (yellow & red) orange is the result. In this sermon we discuss the importance of Orange for our congregation.
