"My House Shall be Called a House of Prayer"
Click Here to watch videos that go with our topic of prayer. We pray it helps bring more understanding of the scriptures to you.
  • Matthew 21:12-17 (see also Mark 11:15-17 & Luke 19:45-46)  -  God's house is His house of prayer and Jesus was angry when he saw his Father's house being defiled.
    • Our bodies are the temple (see 1 Corinthians 6:19). Don't come to the Lord in prayer for your own gain and glory; Go to God for His gain and glory. We need to keep out temples (bodies) pure in prayer.
  • Jeremiah 7:1-16  -  defiling the house of God
  • 2 Chronicles 7:12-14  -  If God's people will humble themselves and pray, God will forgive them their sins and heal them.

    Jesus Understands Our Infirmities

    Sunday, March 27, 2011 Led by Dennis Jeffries Jesus has experienced everything we've ever been through, and more so. He understands our feelings and knows what it's like. Hebrews 2:16-18  -  Jesus took on flesh and blood and was made like his brethren; he brings hope and comfort to those suffering with temptation Philippians 2:5-6  -  Jesus didn't think it was robbery to be equal with God (he wasn't taking anything away from God because he was God) *** See John 10:24, John 1:1,14 *** John 5:18  -  the Jews wanted to kill Jesus because he proclaimed to be equal with God *** See John 15:18-19 *** Philippians 2:7  -  Jesus was in the likeness of man Isaiah 53:2-5  -  He knows how we feel in every situation we're in; he was a man of sorrows and acquainted with grief... therefore he understands our griefs and sorrows Galatians 4:4-5  -  Jesus was flesh (made of a woman) and was subjected to temptation just as we are, but he ...

"To pray is the greatest thing we can do: and to do it well there must be calmness, time, and deliberation; otherwise it is degraded into the littlest and meanest of things. True praying has the largest results for good; and poor praying, the least. We cannot do too much of real praying; we cannot do too little of the sham. We must learn anew the worth of prayer, enter anew the school of prayer. There is nothing which it takes more time to learn. And if we would learn the wondrous art, we must not give a fragment here and there -- "A little talk with Jesus," as the tiny saintlets sing -- but we must demand and hold with iron grasp the best hours of the day for God and prayer, or there will be no praying worth the name. This, however, is not a day of prayer. Few men there are who pray. Prayer is defamed by preacher and priest. In these days o...
