Person of Prayer #

Mark 11:20-26

Introduction

I didn’t anticipate having a gap two week gap in these messages, but the Lord knows.

Last time, we looked at this passage, I preached on the Potential of Prayer: 1. Disaster’s Solved, 2. Diseases Healed 3. Dead Raised 4. Demons Cast out.

Tonight we are going to look at the Person of Prayer.

I. Person of Faith #

A. Whosoever - Is not a special person (23) “whosoever shall say” #

1. Who it is not: #

• • It is not a favorite child
  • It is not a gifted ability to ask in prayer.
  • It is not a saint, or Mary
  • It is not limited to men, or women
  • It is not limited to preachers

2. “Whosoever” = anyone #

B. Where our Faith is placed (22) #

• “Have faith in God” (22)

1. Where faith is not to be: #

• Faith is not to be in a church
• Faith is not to be in clergy, leadership

2. Where faith is to be: #

Genesis 18:14 “^14\ ^Is any thing too hard for the LORD? At the time appointed I will return unto thee, according to the time of life, and Sarah shall have a son.”

God’s Will for your Home #

Eph 5:17-21

Introduction

I want to preach on the christian home. It is an important topic, and one that certainly needs addressed. I will get to questions that are submitted, at some point.

The homes in our country are an absolute wreck. Satan has had an absolute field day destroying the family unit in this country. Marriages are failing at an unprecedented rate! So much so, that people have decided why get married! Children are put into difficult positions because of the failure of marriages, and guilt of the parents. At the heart of every divorce is selfishness that says, I deserve more, I want more, I expect more.

Potential of Prayer #

Mark 11:20-24

Introduction

Last week, I started a short series of messages on the subject of Prayer. The message was entitled Power of Prayer and our text was Ephesians 6:18

^18\ ^Praying always with all prayer and supplication in the Spirit, and watching thereunto with all perseverance and supplication for all saints; - Eph 6:18

I believe we only scratched the surface of the Power of Prayer, and I want to further expound, and I would that we can see the Potential of Prayer. What are things that can be accomplished through prayer? What things should we pray about?

A Joyful Family #

Gen 17:15-20

Gen 18:1-10

Gen 21:1-6

Introduction

We have some interesting passages that we are going to look at tonight, but in the end, we will see, it is a Joyful family! A joyful family consists of a family that is trusting in, and following God! You can only find joy through Jesus!

I. Abraham Laughs! (Gen 17:15-20) #

A. Announcements (15-16) #

1. God is conversing with Abraham! (Gen 17:1-3) #

2. This was not the first time! #

Gen. 12:1 ¶ Now the LORD had said unto Abram, Get thee out of thy country, and from thy kindred, and from thy father’s house, unto a land that I will shew thee: 2 And I will make of thee a great nation, and I will bless thee, and make thy name great; and thou shalt be a blessing: 3 And I will bless them that bless thee, and curse him that curseth thee: and in thee shall all families of the earth be blessed.

Mother of Moses #

Exodus 2:1-10

Introduction

Jochebed is not a prominent name in the Bible. Matter of fact, it is probably that many don’t even recognize the name. However the christian world at large today would know her son. Moses! The man who led the Israelites out of bondage from Egypt. The man who led the Israelites through the desert for 40 years! Moses, a mighty leader for 40 years!

Ephesians 6:17-20, 18*

Introduction

The context of Ephesians 6 we are given a list of the Armour of God. We are not going to look at the armor of God tonight, but understand that is the context in which our text is given. It is closely tied to and related to that context.

As a society, it would seem that sin has increased, and our nation has become more wicked, not more godly. The moral fiber of our society, is literally falling apart. Is that our failure? I don’t have to belabor or argue the point, it is clear and obvious.

Making Wise Decisions #

Joshua 9:3-16

Deut 20:16-18

Introduction

I have been preaching a mini series on stewardship. Part of stewardship is making wise decisions. This passage is not a passage about finances, but it is an important passage about making life changing decisions! We are not talking about what color shirt to wear, or what to eat for lunch, we are talking about serious life changing decisions. Where you work, where you live.

The Perils of Pardon #

Introduction

• We can see three things in this passage: 1. The Wayward Son 2. The Wonderful Spirit (of God). 3. The Wounded Son.

I want to preach on the Perils of Pardon ****When God forgives someone you haven’t. That is a problem! There are signs and symptoms that are evident. Let look at them this afternoon.

Luke 15:25-32

I. Anger (28) #

A. The Brother didn’t lose money #

B. The Father had forgiven the brother! #

1. It is undeniable the wayward brother was wrong! #

C. The Brother cause of anger (v 27) #

1. He was angry because his brother returned #

2. He was angry because his father received him. #

3. He was angry because there was rejoicing! #

Eph. 4:26 Be ye angry, and sin not: let not the sun go down upon your wrath:

Sound Stewardship #

Matthew 25:14-19, 30

Introduction

I want to deal with the verse 30 right at the onset, so we are not pondering how this is going to end up. This is a parable, that I full hearted believe is for our time right now.

First this is a parable about stewardship or servant-ship, not salvation, or sonship. Let’s revisit a very important verse that is foundational to the doctrine of salvation:

A Tremendous Trip to the Tomb #

Luke 24:1-12

Introduction

The resurrection morning, was an incredible morning. It was completely unexpected by the disciples, and literally all who followed Jesus. While Jesus had plainly taught that he would die, and rise again, it is very clear that the disciples didn’t grasp how literal and real the message was.

Jesus had raised others from the dead, the disciples had even witnessed such miracles, to be raised from the dead, “solo” with out a prophet was an unheard of miracle that had NEVER been done. So let’s not be too hard on the disciples for not having understood the message that was so plainly given to them.
