The Corporate Prayer Ministry of the Church

Gary DeLashmutt

Luke 11:9-13

Corporate prayer is one of the most important things believers can do to help contribute to the health of the church. Not only did Jesus emphasize praying together but it is the force behind the growth of the church. The church should pray for one another, but they should also pray for people who have not yet come into a relationship with Christ. In Paul's letter to Timothy, he lays out how the church can practically pray together.

Peter and Herod

Ben Foust

Acts 12:1-24

The early church once again faces opposition, this time from King Herod, who arrests Peter. In response to prayer, God miraculously releases Peter from prison and puts an end to Herod's reign. We are challenged to pray similarly, in order to take part in the work God continues in the world today.

Evangelism: Heart Issues & Practices

Phil Franck

Acts 12:1-24

God wants to use His people to reach the lost by spreading His Good News as He opens doors of opportunity. We need to examine our motivation and attitudes that may block our participation in evangelism. There are many things that can cause fear in sharing the Good News. To overcome those obstacles we need to start with our identity and mission from God. There are endless tools God has given us to be effective; His Holy Spirit, prayer, His Gospel, and creativity, to name a few.\r\n

Fighting for Delight in God's Word

John Cleary

Luke 10:38-42

As we develop and cultivate our relationship with God we can find delight in His Word. We are in a spiritual battle - and the enemy wants us to not advance in this area. We should fight for this and advance intentionally. We can do this as we expand our understanding of the word - seeing it as our theology, wisdom, a gift, a weapon, a stewardship, and a revelation of relationship.

Enlarging your Heart through God's Word

Bev DeLashmutt

Psalms 119:32

Through the Psalmist we learn that while his condition is full of suffering, pain, and persecution he draws near to God through God's word. God wants to enlarge our hearts with His word. The outcome is determined by what we affirm, ask for, hope in, and obey. Pain, suffering, sin, and failure can shrink our hearts. A growing heart acknowledges circumstances but affirms God's truth. Live in the reality of pain and suffering but land on the reality of what God's word says about it.\r\n

The Value of "Small" Studies

Cathy Treyens

John 17:1

In an age where we are constantly distracted, it is very difficult to give our undivided attention to anything, let alone God's Word. Here's an alternative Bible study method that prioritizes quality over quantity. Through doing "small" studies of a single clause or idea, we can meditate on that and pull a lot of truth and application from it with the help of the Holy Spirit. This is especially helpful when studying the psalms, Jesus's teachings in the gospels, and the epistles. \r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n\r\n
