The Most Dangerous Prayer
Pastor Scott Ross
We're all probably familiar with the model prayer, but are we really comfortable with such a "dangerous"
application?
The Model Prayer
Pastor Stephen Bolhous
What can we learn from "the model prayer" that Jesus gave to his disciples?  What does it teach us about
our prayers, and what are you praying for?

Tips for Effective Prayer
Pastor Steve Taylor   E-mail Steve
When do you pray to God?  Why do you pray?  How can we pray more effectively?  Why does God want us to
pray?  What can we learn from prayer?  A biblical, practical approach to making communicating with God a
meaningful routine in our daily lives.
Rising Up By Bowing Down
Pastor Dick Eldred
Ask yourself: How much personal time do you spend talkiing to God?  Are you seeking answers and
guidance from Him?  Elijah found God in a "still, small voice"  and "one small cloud."  What can we learn
from Elijah's story as he repeatedly bowed in prayer?
1 Kings 18
The Voice of Truth Broadcast:  What's on Your Prayer List?
Pastor Jeff Fletcher     E-mail Jeff
What are you praying for? Do you know what prayer is? Are you even asking?  And what does what you're
talking about say about you?  Are you even talking at all?
James 5:16; Ephesians 3:14,20; James 4:10; 1 Peter 5:16
Strength From Above  by William Wachtel
Mark 6:7-13; 30-32
Sometimes, it's easier to think we can do things our way.  Sometimes we think we even know how to do
things a better way than God.  We may think we are virtuous enough, or good enough, or strong enough on
our own, but nothing we could ever do on our own could ever be enough to earn eternal life.  But in that still,
small voice we find strength.  In standing still, and listening to God, he makes us stronger.  So where does
your strength come from?
The Lord's Prayer
Glenn Hoey   Church of God, Faith of Abraham   Cashmere, Washington
"The Lord's Prayer" is recited around the world.  It's committed to our memories.  It's a part of normal
Christian services.  But do we really think about and consider the words?  Or are we just repeating words?  
In today's message, we take a closer examination of what the Bible teaches us about the words of this
prayer and how Jesus teaches us to pray.
Matthew 6:5-13
Making Prayer a Priority
Lee Henderson    E-mail Lee
Joy Fellowship Church of God of the Abrahamic Faith  Piedmont, SC
When do we pray? Do we pray regularly? Or is it only when we need something?  Is it only as our last
resort?  Or is it the first thing we do before we do anything?  In today's message, Lee focuses on the life
and decisions of Nehemiah and what examples we can learn from his prayers.
Nehemiah 1; 2; 1 Thessalonians 5:17
The Open Bible Pulpit: The Experience of Prayer
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
What do we experience when we pray?  Do we experience God's presence?  In today's message, we
examine how Jesus prayed.  When he prayed, things happened.  When his apostles prayed, things
happened.  When we pray, are things happening?
Luke 3:21,22; 9:26-29, 12-17; 11:1-9; Acts 2:1-4; 4:23-31; 9:40
The Promise of Answered Prayer
Pastor Chuck Jones  E-mail Chuck    Visit Chuck's blog
Church of the Open Bible Pomona, California
Jesus promised that we'd get what we ask for in prayer.  Do you believe it?  Okay, if you believe it, then why
don't you act on it?  Okay, if you act on it, have you found it to be true?  If it's not true for you, then there's
probably a problem.  And if there's a problem with unanswered prayers, it isn't God who's the problem.  
God's promises are sure.  Maybe it's time to ask yourself if you're just serving yourself, or are you serving
God's way?
Matthew 21:22; Isaiah 40:8; 59:1-3; 57:16; 1:18; Psalm 66:18;

Power in Prayer
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
How can we be effective and powerful in prayer?  Are there things we're missing?  Are we expecting too
much?  Should we not pray about certain things?  What should we pray for?  In today's study, we learn
how to pray according to God's will.
James 5:13-20; Proverbs 2:1-9; 1 Kings 3:9; Hebrews 4:12;  Romans 1:16; Acts 10;1 John 5:14,15;

Daniel Series #15:  Daniel's Intercessory Prayer
Pastor Terry M. Ferrell   E-mail Terry
Greenville Church of God, 217 White Oak Road, Greenville, SC 29605
In this thorough study on the book of Daniel, we continue our look through the writing of the prophet.  In
today's message, we examine the often overlooked intercessory prayer Daniel makes for his nation's
sins.  In his words, we find a vivid, powerful confession begging God to hear and reminding God of his
promises to his people that can serve as a model for us.
Daniel 9:1-19; Leviticus 26; Jeremiah 25:11,12
If You Want Something, You Have to Ask For It
Matthew 7:7-12
Gary Burnham    E-mail Gary
Do you ever wonder why it seems like God isn't blessing you?  Do you feel like you can't find God?  Do you
feel like God isn't answering?  Well, maybe God has already answered.  Perhaps He's waiting to answer
when the time is right.  Or maybe you never even asked...
The Priority of Prayer
Pastor Steve Taylor   E-mail Steve   1 Timothy 2:1-8
Lakeshore Bible Church  Tempe, Arizona
As Apostle Paul was writing to his son in the faith, he prescribed the spiritual priorities for the next
generation of Christians.  In today's message, we examine the first priority of all for the church and for the
followers of Christ - prayer.
Shifting the Load
Pastor Jack Hearp
As we come into Christ, and as we affim him in faith as our Savior, we have a new power source to help
us deal with the frustrations of daily living.  In the Apostle Peter's letter, he writes to Christians suffering
persecution and gives them the recipe for facing life's trials.  He tells them to "cast  all of your cares upon
him."  None of life's problems or anxieties are too small or too large for him.  God hears us.  God is
listening. God is concerned. God cares.
Joshua 24:15; 1 Peter 5:7; Psalm 55:22; Psalm 34:6-8
The Dynamics of Prayer in Worship
Pastor Michael Brown     E-mail Michael
Glad Tidings Church of God  Fonthill, Ontario, Canada
Worship is not a performance but a service. We all can serve in worship in some way.  Not everyone can
preach from the pulpit or lead worship songs, but each of us can pray.  Prayer is important publicly and
privately, at home and at church.  Prayer is also very powerful.  Are you plugged into the power source in your
worship life?  Are you taking the time to talk to our Lord?  He's always waiting.  And he's always listening.
