Praying with Paul – A Book Review
Prayer is one of the most powerful spiritual disciplines we can practice. It is hard to imagine that we serve a holy and righteous God who not only allows us to pray but actually calls us to pray. We have the ability to dialogue with our Heavenly Father and do so with confidence (Hebrews 4:16). […]
A Prayer for Orlando
As we all know early on Sunday Morning Omar Mateen entered the Pulse Gay Nightclub killing 49 and injuring another 50+.

Grace and Peace from God our Father
In 2014 I preached a two part series on the prayers of Paul. I don’t know if I preached it well but it was one of those sermons which had a major impact on my own life and how I pray. If you look at Paul’s letters, you will find that he followed closely to […]

The Prayers of Paul

A Priest for The World
When Jesus saw their faith, he said to the paralyzed man, “Son, your sins are forgiven.” – Mark 2:5 This verse in Mark (also found in Luke 5:20 and Matthew 9:2) has always been a favorite of mine. Four men cared so much about their paralyzed friend they were willing to risk climbing onto […]
Prayer Keeps Us Looking
“Prayer keeps us looking. Prayer keeps the burden fresh…. Prayer sensitizes us to subtle changes in the landscape of our circumstances. When he begins to move, we are apt to recognize it.” – Andy Stanley Prayer is probably the most powerful thing that connects us to God. Prayer brings us into alignment with God and his […]
