PRAYER WORKSthoughts from Carey Nieuwhof Should we really stop saying that prayer works? Well, yes and no. Most people who say prayer works these days really mean God did what I wanted him to do.

This past Sunday we took another look at how to pray (view it here). We viewed part of the video above as we continued to explore what we should say when we pray. The whole idea was that prayer wasn't about being religious or even about saying the right words. It's about building a tight connection with God....a lifeline. We looked at the Lord's Prayer in Matthew 6 as...

PRAYER FOR THIS WEEK "Thank you Lord that you want to hear from me, that you want to speak to me. Help me to be the good soil, that hears you, and retains what you say.

In our current series, we are talking about how the shadow of Jesus is all through the Bible leading up to the main event of history that we will celebrate on Easter Weekend.

God continues to pursue us with His great love and provides a way for us to be forgiven and redeemed...

In the last weeks of this series, I shared some thoughts about flipping our finances (watch it here) and how it takes waiting and sacrifice. A small loss now can lead to big gains later.
