Psalm 23
We go to the 23rd Psalm today. We see Jesus is our Great Shepherd who does not let us lack for anything in life. We learn we do not lack rest, life, guidance, safety, provision, or an eternal home.
Two Ways to Live
Tim Shaw | July 2
Psalm 1
We start our Summer in Psalms series off in the 1st Psalm. We learn in this Psalm there are only 2 ways we can live. We can live on the path to righteousness or the path to destruction.
Moving from Petition to Surrender
Tim Shaw | June 18
Matthew 26:36-44
We come to a close on our study on prayer. For this we go the Jesus’ prayer in the garden. We learn from this a whole different kind of prayer. Not a prayer of petition asking God for something, but a prayer of surrender when God doesn’t answer the way we want. Watch Jesus and learn how to move from petition to surrender.
Prayer of Faith
Tim Shaw | June 4
Mark 5:21-43
We turn our attention to the story of Jairus’ ill daughter and a woman with a blood issue. From these two events with Jesus we learn about faith and prayer and how our faith interweaves in our prayer. What role does faith play in our prayer life is what we look at today.
For What Do We Pray?
Tim Shaw | May 28
James 5:13-18
For what do we pray? For sure you will answer, “Everything.” However, from this passage, James identifies specific things we are to pray for. We close by asking and answering, “Who can be a great prayer warrior?”
Confident Prayer Builds Persistence
Tim Shaw | May 21
Luke 18:1-8
In this study on Breakthrough Prayer we look at the parable Jesus told about the widow woman who kept asking a judge to make right a wrong that had been done to her. From this we learn about persistent prayer. We tend to think we loose heart so we stop praying when actually we stop praying and therefore lose heart.
Biblical Prayer Builds Confidence
Tim Shaw | May 14
Luke 18:9-14
It is important to pray biblically as that will help build confidence in our prayers. In our time today we examine two prayers – a Pharisee and a tax collector. From these prayer we learn about three prayer repellents and three prayer accelerants.
Why Don’t We Pray
Tim Shaw | May 7
James 4:2-3
Today we wrestle with the question why don’t we pray? We examine several reasons; but, it comes down to we do not truly believe prayer works. We lose hope because it seems God does not answer our prayers.
In this passage from James we learn that what might be keeping us from having a breakthrough in our prayer life is we are praying wrongly.
