All About Prayer! Part 2
Wednesday Apr 26, 2023
Wednesday Apr 26, 2023
On the surface, prayer seems so simple- just talk to God. But when it’s time to actually do it, there can be a million questions. And those questions are nothing to be ashamed of. The disciples lived with Jesus. Heard Him pray. Watched Him pray. And they still had to ask Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In part 2 of our 2 part series on prayer, we talk about praying Scripture, and practical tips for your own prayer time, as well as leading others in prayer.

The disciples lived with Jesus. Heard Him pray. Watched Him pray. And they still had to ask Him, “Lord, teach us to pray.” In part 1 of our 2 part series on prayer, we talk about unbiblical attitudes and perspectives on prayer, and how we can pray biblically instead.

Easter: The Passion, the Crucifixion, the Resurrection
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Tuesday Apr 04, 2023
Easter, or Resurrection Sunday, if you prefer, is upon us. It's all about the resurrection of Christ from the dead. But, as you know, there’s no resurrection without a crucifixion. Jesus had to lay down His life before He could take it up again. And that's what we're talking about in this episode as we approach Easter - Jesus’ suffering, or “passion” as it’s sometimes called, and His death, burial, and resurrection.
