Mark 1:35-45
Introduction
Last time, we looked at Jesus Authority. Authority with the Scriptures,
Authority over spirits, and Authority over sickness. He should be our
Authority! We are going to look at lessons that we can learn from the
Lord!
I. Lessons of Prayer (35)

- Prayer was an important part of Jesus life.
- Prayer is talking with God, poor out your heart and soul, make
requests and petitions, talk with him!
A. Start of the day "rising up a great while before day"
#
1. Ministry - service
#
- We are saved to serve... so every christian should be ministering!
- Requires effort, get up!
2. Start the day with the Lord!

- Before you get busy with everything, before the people gathered around
him.

Is. 59:1 ¶ Behold, the LORD’S hand is not shortened, that it cannot

iniquities have separated between you and your God, and your sins have
hid his face from you, that he will not hear.

Mark 6:45-53
Introduction
As we continue our study in the Gospel of Mark, there is a lot to see in
this passage. This passage is parallel passage of the one recorded in
Matthew, however Mark doesn’t bring up the fact that Peter walked on
water. It was an amazing thing that happened, however, it was not the be
the focal point of this account. In other words, there are other lessons
that can be learned from this passage, more than the fact that Peter
walked on the water!

Talking to God
#
Psalm 77:1-3,
Introduction
There is an old song that says, Just a little talk Jesus makes it right!
God is a living person. We often turn to another person. God sets there
ignored, and He is the one that can actually do something about our
situation! He is the one that actually has the power to solve the
problem!

Plea for Intervention
#
Psalm 79:1-4
Introduction
There are a lot of similarities between Psalm 74, and Psalm 79. They are
both Psalms of Asaph. Both talk about the problems and persecution that
happens to Israel. In some regards they are parallel Psalms.
The Psalm has a lot of reasoning with God in it. They are well reasoned,
thought out statements. They are not just emotional statements, made in
the heat of the moment.

#
Psalm 102:1-12
Introduction
The Psalmist is overwhelmed here, but not because of a personal problem. It would seem in looking at it all, the Psalmist is concerned primarily with a national issue.
It would do us good, to be so heartbroken, grief stricken over the sin of our country, that we had this kind of a heart!

Lessons from the Lord
#
Mark 11:15-18
Mark 11:12-33
Introduction
We have been going through the book of Mark on Sunday mornings, and we have gotten behind a little. So, I will continue that series tonight. We are picking up toward the end of Jesus ministry. His disciples have spent a great deal of time ministering with him. Last time, we looked at the triumphal entry into Jerusalem. We are going to look at three lessons given by the Lord.

A Dark Hour
#
Psalm 119:81-84
Introduction
I read the word Octet; that is what each set of verses are called. I have been struggling with what to call each section, but that is the proper word. Each section is consistent with 8 verses. Octet is fitting.
Have you ever been at a dark time in your life. I mean, when everything seemed like it was falling apart, nothing would go right, and you wondered if God was listening, cared, or even out there? Maybe you feel that way right now. Sometimes, we really struggle in life. Sometimes, things get really discouraging in life. David, felt this way in his life. We can really benefit from what God inspired him to write, as a help, benefit, and blessing to us.

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.
