Sermons About Prayer
Lord, Make Us One
We wrap up the One Prayer Series by looking at the prayer of Jesus for the Church. Jesus prays in John 17 that we would be one, that we would be united. Is the church united or divided, and how does that affect our witness to an unbelieving world? If we truly want to change our communities and lift up the name of Jesus, then we must be united. One Lord, One Faith, One Baptism

Blessed is the Nation...
In this week's message, we reflect on the values upon which the country of Canada was founded. And in light of current events in our country, we would do good to pause and think about how it is that we have strayed so far from our biblical foundations as a nation. But beyond the usual discussion about the issues facing our culture, may we be reminded of our primary responsibility as Christians: the call to fervent prayer. Key Passages: Psalm 72:8, Psalm 144:15, Psalm 33, and Isaiah 1-6

The Prayer for His Glory
The Apostle Paul moves naturally from praise to prayer. The follower of Jesus Christ today must do so as well. Paul's urgency in prayer is a motivator for the church today while the contents of Paul's prayer make it clear that he wanted the church to have a fuller understanding of the incomparably great power of God. Paul teaches that this power was displayed most prominently in the resurrection and exaltation of Jesus. Today Jesus sits in the place of honor and authority over every competing entity for the sake of the church. This is an amazing comfort to us in our uncertainty and a great motivator to prayer.

Grief in the Garden
Luke 22:39-53 In the hours following Jesus' amazing redefining of the traditional Passover, His disciples display the extent of their lack of insight into His message. Seemingly in a state of bewildered panic, they display the true nature of their hopes while Christ patiently points them to the ways of His Kingdom. In His Kingdom, greatness is measured by humility, not assertion. In His Kingdom, the road to ruling will be long and hard and the weapons of warfare are not physical. Yet, despite His continual teaching of the Disciples, they fail to grasp His message and trust His promises and commands. This leads them to their darkest hour, where they ignore their help, they violently assert themselves and then run away in fear and shame.

What Are You Waiting For?
No one likes to wait. Especially for things we really need or think we really want. Fortunately, in our culture, we don't have to wait too long for most things. As a result, we are addicted to instant gratification. Our expectations are high... higher than we think. Unfortunately, this has a negative affect on our experience with prayer, because often times, God's answer to us is... wait. However, if we become the kind of people who learn to actively wait on God, we will discover riches beyond our expectations as well.

Lord's Prayer
Most of us have memorized it, but when was the last time we stopped to think about the words? What was Jesus trying to teach us through it? What are the insights to be gathered from this very familiar passage of Scripture? Take the time to walk through the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6:9-13, and see if it changes your perspective on prayer.

Understanding Prayer
When it comes to faith, there's no more critical ingredient than prayer. When our prayers are answered, we are elated and our faith grows. When they don’t seem to be answered, especially after many prayers, our faith can waiver to the point of losing faith all together. What should we expect from prayer? How does God answer prayer?

Our Response to Life
Everyone has things in their lives that keep them from being all they could be. Sometimes we need more than our own skill and experience to overcome those things. We need power. The kind of power that comes from God. Jesus said this kind of power only comes through prayer. Not the reactive, popcorn prayers that we're all good at, but the proactive prayers of people who are in a vibrant relationship with God.

Why Not Try Prayer?
For change to occur, we have to desire to see it happen. Prayer is God's tool which opens up the avenue to change. If we commit to prayer, we will not stay the same. Develop a daily discipline of being with God in prayer, ask Him to forgive and restore you, and give thanks for all He has done and all He is preparing to do.

Games People Play
Sometimes, people's lives aren't what they seem. The Bible word for it is hypocrisy. Today Jesus makes the same challenge to us because we struggle with the same temptations to play religious games. Today, we'll take a look at three problem areas--three hypocritical games we often play that stand in our way of becoming what God wants us to be, and we'll look at how to squash out some areas of hypocrisy in our lives.

I Can Hear You Now
So what is important when we pray? Is it the words that we use? What about the place or the time? As we examine the words of Jesus in Matthew 6:5-8, we are often surprised at the answers. God wants us to connect to Him in a growing, living relationship, and this requires us to take actions we may not have considered before.

Praying over our speech
According to the Book of James we are to house train our tongues. This applies to everyone who uses words, but especially those who teach others! James tells us that the tongue is a fire – a world of evil among the parts of the body. And we are a people of words; but so too is God. He is a speaking God, the Scriptures are HIS word, and Jesus is THE Word of God. We are to watch our words carefully.
