A Godly Father
#
Luke 15:11-32
Introduction
It is a lengthy portion, but an important passage. It is a story that
Jesus gave. It may have been a true story, and it may have just been for
the purpose of teaching, we are not directly told.
This Father very closely resembles that of the Heavenly Father! You
cannot find a better example for Fathers. There is much to be learned
from this passage. One of the things we notice, is not all children turn
out right. We should do our human best to cause them to turn out, but
here we have a GREAT father, and both his children had their flaws.

Forgiven yet Accountable
#
Introduction
Question:
If we repent and make known our sins to God, then we are forgiven, do we
still pay for those sins at the judgement seat (when we pass away)? Such
as fornication, blasphemy, etc.?
This is a great question.
In order to understand this, we must clearly define some things. So
let’s take a look at Scripture, and find out what the Bible says.

Productive Prayer
#
James 5:13-20
Introduction
So far, we have covered: “The Power of Prayer”,
“The Potential of Prayer”, “The Person of Prayer”, and on Sunday night,
though not part of this series, it certainly fits with it, I covered
“When God Answers: NO.”
There are many passages on prayer in the Bible, we have not even
scratched the surface of prayer. However, you hardly can consider the
topic of prayer, without considering this passage in James.

God’s Answer: No
#
2 Corinthians 12
Introduction
On Wednesday nights I have been preaching on prayer. We have talked
about the Potential of Prayer, the Person of Prayer. There are many NT
verses that tell us to ask great things of God. There are many times in
my life I have asked great things of God, and God has not provided what
I asked for. Matter of fact, there are times that God has just flat out
denied my request.

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)
#
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!

Power in Prayer
#
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.
