Praying God’s Will

Sermon text: 1 John 5:13-21 John turns the idea of prayer on its head. We do not bend God’s will to our will. Instead, rooted in the confidence of our salvation, we bend our will to God’s will and pray from that posture. In essence, the right position of prayer, along with the right petition of prayer, leads to a powerful experience in prayer. Header image by Samuel Martins on Unsplash.

The Real Deal – The Path to Victory

Sermon text: 1 John 5:1-13 John knew what it took to experience the victorious Christian life on a daily basis. It’s something we cannot do alone.

Believers should examine their lives, ensuring their actions align with their professed faith in Jesus Christ. Header image by Mayur…
