Telling the Truth

In practice, hope orients our lives around a better future. That is not to be escapist about the present but because there is a better future. And whatever we are going through now, there is a better future ultimately that we are going to experience and enjoy. In this message, Charles Price looks at the hope of heaven and what we know about it—the place, permanence, and perfection of heaven in the little revealed about it in Scripture. Scripture: 1 Peter 1:3 - 1:5

In this message, Stuart Briscoe walks you through the Lord’s Prayer in the Sermon on the Mount to explain how to pray and what to pray. This message will give you the confidence you need to step into a vibrant life of prayer and intimacy with Jesus. Scripture: Matthew 6:5 - 6:15

Prayer is more than “a shopping list in the heavenly supermarket,” says Jill Briscoe. In this heartfelt message featuring examples from her own experiences in addition to those of Elijah, Jill explains that God wants us to talk with Him, and to ask for things we know He wants to have happen, too. In good times or bad, God loves it when we come to Him in prayer. Scripture: 1 Kings 17 - 19, James 5:13 - 5:18

Having explained what God was doing in his life and wanted to do in the Ephesians lives, Paul turned to prayer. His concern was that they would discover and experience all that God had in mind for their spiritual growth and development. We need similar concerns today. Scripture: Ephesians 3:14 - 3:21

While here on earth, Jesus himself sought communion with God through prayer. His disciples were to do likewise. He gave us a pattern to follow. For those who ask, seek, and knock, God is more than willing to answer. He is even more willing than friends or an earthly father, as Jesus explains through the parables. But the Christian’s prayer requests need to be in line with Jesus’ model prayer. Scripture: Luke 11:1 - 11:28

Jill Briscoe Series: Running on Empty One of the hardest things in life is facing rejection, especially when it comes from someone we love.
