We’re called to stand in the gap. To pray into God’s promises to us and to have faith that He loves to fulfill His promises. And our prayers are not called to be limited to ourselves because if we’re in Christ, then the Spirit of God is in us and that Spirit is WAY too powerful for my prayers to be contained to myself.   Sermon: Standing in the Gap  Scripture: Genesis 18:23-33, James 5:1...

Praying in the spirit comes on account of Christ’s blood that has been shed for us. It’s an intimate understanding, a constantly growing understanding that God’s faithfulness to answer my prayers is not because of me but because Christ is in me.   Sermon: Praying in the Spirit  Scripture: Eph. 6:18, Rom. 8:26-27, 1 Jn. 5:14-15, Heb. 4:16, 1 Cor. 6:19 Speaker: Tyler Hungate

If prayer is what nourishes the life of God in us then it is certainly not self-help or self-development.
